As recommended by Which magazine, Lonely Planet and the Rough Guide. Roundtheworldflights.com is part of Global Village, one of the UK' s leading long haul travel specialists. We work directly with our customers online, and via our retail shop in Islington, London. We treat our customer as individuals. Individuals who, when it comes to travelling have their own demands, their own desires and their own dreams. When you book with us, we listen to what you have to say and tailor-make your itinerary to suit your requirements.

 

Round the world flights was founded in 2000 to offer travellers an informative online service that unravelled the mysteries surrounding round the world tickets and travel. In fact we took that one step further and created a site that would allow our customers to design their own round the world route. The tickets we offer are notoriously complicated and therefore whilst you cannot actually book your ticket online, we believe we have given you the next best thing – real round the world routes, real prices and relevant research information to aid your round the world planning and decision making.

Global Village has over 11 years experience planning and booking unforgettable holidays to a host of destinations with particular expertise in Australia and New Zealand, but with expert knowledge in all the worldwide destinations. Our success comes from our staff – when you talk to a Consultant you are dealing with an expert. In-depth training and ongoing product education supplement our Consultants’ personal knowledge and experience. Our Staff have travelled extensively and we actively encourage their ongoing travel, ensuring that they collectively have first hand knowledge of our destinations.

The average experience of our team working in the travel industry is now over 10 years per consultant and most consultants have travelled to over 40 countries - some are in the 80s. Between us all we have visited over 90% of the recognised countries and states on this planet. Meet our strongest asset - it's our Senior Travel Consultants
