Northwest services most major cities throughout the United States; Alaska and Horizon offer an extensive array of destinations to Western States, and Continental Airlines with its multiple North American hubs, services destinations throughout the continent. 

This is the only airline grouping we know of providing direct service between North America and all continents (Antarctica excluded).  South America is accessible via Continental or Copa airlines; Africa via South African Airlines, Europe via KLM, Northwest, and Continental, Asia by Malaysia Airlines, Continental, and Northwest.  The South Pacific can be reached by Continental, Air Tahiti Nui and Air Pacific, it is even possible to access the Middle East directly with Malaysia Airlines and Emirates.

Utilizing the extensive route network of the Panama based Copa Airlines this assembly services the most destinations of any  major group to Central America. When you combine the services offered by Alaska and Horizon Airlines to Mexico with the extensive number of routes Continental offers between North and Central America, very few destinations are inaccessible. 

There is no member of this alliance that is based in South America but a few outstanding itineraries are possible.  Copa offers routes, primarily in northern South America, and Continental is expanding it's service to the region. KLM has limited routings on the continent and provides connections to Europe.  This is the only major alliance that provides direct service between South America and Africa. 

South Africa Airlines has service from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg, and Malaysia Airlines has service to Cape Town from Buenos Aires.

Emirates, Malaysia, Kenya, South Africa, Continental, and Northwest all provide service to the region. Although KLM and its partners, have an extensive route network in Europe the number of stops is limited by the Around the World fare structure on this continent.  

In Europe you are limited to visiting only two cites. Amsterdam does not count as a stop so if you wish to include Amsterdam three cities are allowed.  One additional stop may be purchased for a reasonable surcharge.

Using South African Airlines, Kenya, Emirates, Malaysia and KLM, this group is by far the best Around the World fare for extensive travel on the African continent.  With three African based hubs in Nairobi, Cape Town and Johannesburg, along with the  route structures of KLM, and Emirates, this alliance offers connections to more cities on the African Continent than any other group.

Malaysia Airlines provides convenient connections to Asia from Johannesburg and Cape Town. South African Airlines in addition to African destinations, provides direct service to Europe, Australia, South America, North America, and Asia.

Air Pacific with a hub in Fiji offers connections to many locations in the region including Australia and New Zealand. Air Tahiti Nui provides service to several island destinations as well as New Zealand and Australia. Air Calin, Air Vanuatu and Polynesian Airlines offer service to a host of obscure island nations in the South Pacific. Continental has a hub in Guam and provide service to many of the South Pacific Islands, as well as Cairns in Australia, and Bali in Indonesia.  

Malaysia Airlines provides service to a surprising number of cities in Australia and New Zealand from its Kuala Lumpur hub.  Malaysia and Emirates have a few domestic routings in Australia but travel within the Australian continent is limited. South African Airlines provide additional service to Perth and Sydney from South Africa.

These are just a few of the possible routings, thousands of different routing possibilities can be utilized with theses fares
