If RTW trips are not your thing or dont have the time to go on one, perhaps you would like to try to explore a region or country using a scaled down version of RTW called the Air Pass. Air Passes are usually offered by national airlines as well as airline alliances (Star Alliance, Oneworld and
SkyTeam). They allow you to fly to multiple places in a region at discounted fares. If your trip itinerary involves, say multiple cities in South East Asia or Middle East or Australia & New Zealand, then you may like to consider an air pass to save money.

It is better to buy from the airline alliances if your travel will take you to cities spanning different countries. However, if you plan to trip-hop within a nation, consider their domestic airline. But again, do keep in mind your frequent flyer membership in terms of how you can earn or redeem the miles while choosing the airline/s. Also, I cant emphasize enough the importance of researching using the tools I mentioned before – do the search on point-to-point airfares and compare with the air pass. Or as we move into the next section, you may like to even consider other mode of transport like rail or road to save money (and sometimes save time too!)
