About 80% of the time an AirTreks multi-stop or RTW ticket beats the alliances in price.
But there are several other reasons to choose AirTreks over the published RTW fares of the alliances.
An AirTreks ticket is versatile, it can start anywhere, end anywhere, travel in any direction with any combination of cities and airlines at any time of year. It makes for a pretty open map because travelers aren’t limited to the cities served by one alliance’s airlines. If your chosen alliance doesn’t serve the city, you have to buy an extra ticket to get there and then back on route again afterward.
AirTreks allows a proven route flexibility as a given, not an exception.
It’s acceptable to travel on your own across land or water with an AirTreks ticket, with no penalties or additional cost. This often isn’t allowed with an alliance RTW ticket, and if it is, you still have to pay for the miles you traveled on your own.
Regardless of the airlines’ advertised date flexibility, you can’t hop on any flight at any time. Often you need to wait days or even weeks for the correct inventory to open up, putting you in a difficult position if you have somewhere to be.
To summarize, here are the ways you benefit with an AirTreks ticket:
- It’s cheaper. On average AirTreks clients save on average 10 – 20% over the alliances.
- It’s versatile. You can fly anywhere, in any direction with any combination of destinations, at any time.
- You are not limited to only the cities served by one selected airline alliance.
- It’s okay to travel overland on your own, saving time and money by not having to get back to the airport from which you arrived and without having to pay for unflown miles.
