A FEW THINGS BEFORE YOU GO
Good questions.
Clear answers.
The small details that make a big journey easier to plan.
Is Global Explorer the same as oneworld Explorer?
They’re different fare products. Global Explorer is distance-based; oneworld Explorer is based on the continents visited. This planner covers Global Explorer only. See oneworld’s fare overview for the distinction.
Does a valid route mean I can buy the ticket?
No. It means the plan passes the route-derived checks implemented here. The planner does not check live schedules, seats, fares, booking classes, or whether a carrier will issue the ticket. Confirm the full journey with the issuing carrier.
What if a flight I want is missing?
The route snapshot can be incomplete or outdated. A missing suggestion does not prove a flight does not operate. Check current schedules with the airline.
Where does my itinerary go?
Your working plan stays in this browser. A share link contains a compressed snapshot in its URL. Anyone with the link can read that snapshot, so share it with people you choose.
Do I need an account to start?
No account is needed. Open the planner and start building your route. Your working itinerary is stored in this browser; save a share link if you want to keep a snapshot or open it on another device.
