ir carriers Finnair and Air Tahiti Nui have teamed up to fulfill the dream of wandering souls everywhere, taking them around the world on a single ticket.

While Australian carrier Qantas prepares to launch direct flights between Sydney and London or New York by the end of the year, rivaling Singapore Airlines' non-stop flight between Singapore and New York (introduced back in the fall of 2018), Finnair is aiming even higher with a single ticket that will take jetsetters around the world and back.

By working with Air Tahiti Nui, Finnair will be offering travelers a flight from Helsinki to Papeete (Tahiti), with stopovers in Tokyo and Los Angeles.

Travelers should start saving now -- economy tickets start at €1,842 (US$2,041), which is a fairly good deal considering that a round trip between Paris and Papeete on Air Tahiti Nui starts at €1,269.

The trip, which is available now for booking, cannot be reserved online. Potential guests will have to purchase their fare from travel agents, according to information provided by Finnair.
