Was PM'n another poster about this method of seeing the world and thought some others might find it interesting.

For the price of a ticket you are sent round the world (one direction only) and can stop at up to 15 places and take up to a year to do it.
If you have creativity you can actually fly 50-60 flights to get to these 15 places. Depends on if you like to see interesting flight crews, etc. For instance, to Beijing, flying from SF requires you to first fly to Tokyo, then to Beijing, then back to Tokyo and then onto wherever. One city stop but 3 flights, some take more.
Nothing like getting on an Air Mongolia flight and the person beside you has a freshly severed Yak head for carry-on. Or Air Chile and everyone is doing coke.
