    Hi,

    Just wondering does the principle apply with booking flights close to departure & that they are dearer when you're flying around the world?

    Thanks

    Ehh...what?
    What principle? Flights are generally more expensive the closer to departure regardless of where you are.

    Sorry - Just read back over that - wording was atrocious :o

    Basically doing a round the world trip & trying to decide whether to go for a package deal with flights or to book as we go. I was just wondering would it be really dear to book flights spur of the moment when abroad?

    Thanks

    Yes.
    I did half the world that way and in the end I had to book far ahead. Air Asia was still cheap for some around Asia flying. But Aus - South America could cost you $3000 if you leave it.
    I ended up having to book so far in advance that I should have just done rtw because I changed the flights on the half rtw I had at no extra cost!

    I had to book a few flights as I went and to be honest it's a total pain in the ass. I'm all for the DIY independent travelling but save yourself the hassle!
