Hi:
These trips can be very exciting!
The basic premise of an around-the-world ticket is that you buy a ticket from a large airline that is connected with other airlines. These airline alliances, as they are called, connect three or four large commercial airlines for major countries and several smaller country airlines. You may fly with the airline you purchased the ticket from, or with any of their airline alliance partners.
With this you can travel the world.
The tickets are not that much, and all have varied connections. The cost starts somewhere in the $3,500 to $5,000 range. This is for a several months to one-year ticket. You travel in one forward direction only. For example you must go around the world in an easterly or westerly direction. You cannot go back and forth.
Some groups allow you to also include ground transportion as part of your mode of travel. This means you do not have to leave from the same city you arrived in. If you arrived in London, for example, you might explore the rest of Europe and fly out of Rome.
More tomorrow
