STA Travel is offering what it has dubbed as the cheapest ever Round the World flights that’ll see holidaymakers travel the world for less than a phone plan.
The youth travel company has true Round the World flights starting from $1,699.
*Jaw drops*
A client could really save if they combine the Round the World fare with one of the incredible Cruise Week deals.
The ticket begins in Australia and takes travellers to major tourism hubs such as Singapore, Manila, London, Oslo, New York and San Francisco.
According to STA, the cheap fare comes after seeing a 22.6 increase in interest from Australian travellers looking to book Round the World trips.
Product Trading and Marketing Director, Andrea Robinson, explained the increase comes as young travellers see the benefits of the extensive ticket such as visiting more countries in less time.
“The growth amongst Australian travellers, in particular young adult travellers, interested in booking Round The World flights has been significant.”

“With a weakening Australian dollar we expect that local travellers will continue to look to cost saving holiday travel styles like Round The World flights to maximise their experiences while minimising their outlay.”
She added that in addition to young Aussies booking Round the World tickets, there’s also a trend of them wanting to squeeze more destinations into a singe holiday.
This is because they’re ‘less rich’ than other demographics and it takes them longer to save for a holiday.
“They want to get the best bang for their buck.”
Andrea Robinson, STA Travel Product Trading and Marketing Director
“Given the cost of a flight is usually the single biggest financial burden for younger travellers heading overseas, these travellers often look to maximise their holiday costs by taking in multiple destinations in one holiday as opposed to more frequent shorter trips as is favoured by travellers in older demographics.”
