Airlines team up to offer single ticket to travel around the world

Air carriers Finnair and Air Tahiti Nui have teamed up to fulfill the dream of wandering souls everywhere, taking them around the world on a single ticket.

While Australian carrier Qantas prepares to launch direct flights between Sydney and London or New York by the end of the year, rivalling Singapore Airlines’ non-stop flight between Singapore and New York (introduced in 2018), Finnair is aiming even higher with a single ticket that will take jetsetters around the world and back.

By working with Air Tahiti Nui, Finnair will be offering travellers a flight from Helsinki to Papeete (Tahiti), with stopovers in Tokyo and Los Angeles.

Travellers should start saving now — economy tickets start at €1 842 (R31 150), which is a fairly good deal considering that a round trip between Paris and Papeete on Air Tahiti Nui starts at €1 269 (R21 500).

The trip, which is available now for booking, cannot be reserved online. Potential guests will have to purchase their fare from travel agents, according to information provided by Finnair.
