Surface Sectors
(Flying into and out of different airports, making your way between them by other means - over land or over water)
By building in the right round the world surface sectors into your trip, you can really
get the most out of your trip.
- You see much more of the world - and not just cities with airports.
- They don’t usually cost any more than single stops, so you can get
more destinations out of your ticket for the same price.
- By doing some sections of your journey overland, you can visit regions
and countries that wouldn’t have otherwise been possible at the fare
you have paid.
- Surface sectors are environmentally friendly. By doing part of your journey by local train or bus, you will be responsible for less CO2 than by doing your entire trip by air.
