    When I did a RTW, I looked at RTW tickets starting from the US, UK and Italy. Turns out if you started in Italy it was something like 30% cheaper that from US/UK (which were comparable). So we could buy a return to Milan or Rome, and start your trip from there, maybe spend a couple of days in a European country and still come out well ahead air fare wise.

    This kind of arbitrage might not be available anymore, I don't know. You do need to call airlines directly (travel agents may not be interested in cooperating on this type of research) or use their websites/tools, if they will price this kind of itinerary. And you need to luck out and find a nice and helpful telesales person. But for us, it turned out to be really worth it.

    Cheap flights around Singapore? You could walk around Singapore.

    For 'low cost' flights out of Singapore, look at http://www.tigerairways.com/, http://www.jetstarasia.com/, http://www.valuair.com/ and http://www.airasia.com/
