Round the World Flights

[Mo Chara]

Hi

Could someone please confirm whether it is necessary to actually go around the world (i.e. in a circle) - on a round the world ticket?

Planning on going to S America, NZ and Oz and coming home through USA. Initially told by travel agent that this was possible on a round the world ticket however have now been told that I most come home through Asia (i.e. travel in the one direction the whole trip). Think this is on a "One World" alliance ticket.

Anyone else have similar experience?

Thanks

Depends on the ticket , some allow back tracking , some don't....
