Round the world for £500

It had to happen. You can now fly around the world entirely on low-cost airlines.

At first, the £500 round-the-worlder will be limited to a small range of cities. You’ll fly Oasis Airlines (http://www.oasishongkong.com/) from Gatwick to Hong Kong for £150 (including taxes), then pay Oasis another £150 to hop on to Oakland — just across the bay from San Francisco’s main airport. From there, fly to Las Vegas and then on to New York with JetBlue (http://www.jetblue.com/; from £125). From New York, it’s back to Gatwick with Zoom (http://www.flyzoom.com/; from £129). That trip comes in at about £550, but cut out Vegas — or fly back via Toronto instead of New York, using WestJet (http://www.westjet.com/) — and you’re down to £500.
