Today I gave a presentation at the Chicago Seminars about taking multi-stop trips including round-the-world trips. The premise is that RTW awards are dead, so the best way to book RTW trips is as a series of mostly one way awards, hitting all the award chart sweet spots you can along the way.
The presentation is an expansion on:
- How to Book a RTW Trip in 2015. Use These Underpriced Awards Around the World.
- Example of Six Stop RTW Trip You Can Book for $111 Plus Five Credit Card Sign Ups
It relies on knowledge of how to redeem several types of miles already, so if you don’t know that stuff, you probably want to buy my e-book that comes out next week.
Check out the slides here (there are a few links embedded in the presentation that expand on it):
