We finally finished buying most of the airplane tickets last week. After extensive research (believe me, both Sarah and I exhaustively research this sorta stuff), we decided not to purchase round-the-world tickets, and instead book one-way tickets to each of our destinations. This had a couple benefits: we were able to search around many different websites for the absolute best deals, AND we were able to continue to change our trip around as we planned.
Now that we've booked all of our tickets (with the exception of the South America portion of the trip, which will be with airmiles), I went back and did a couple searches to see what the cost of booking our final route would be if we had done it in one lump ticket. Amazingly, we saved $1500/person by not booking our tickets this way! Our tickets, when all added up, cost us $2500 each.
Bargain hunting is pretty great; especially considering $1500 is like 3 months of budget travel for us.
We still have to figure out the Latin American part of the trip, but that'll fall into place in the next month or so...
-Matt!
