oneworld has announced the top 10 most-searched destinations for Round the World travel in 2026, featuring a blend of iconic cities and major international gateways. The list includes London, Tokyo, Doha, Hong Kong, Sydney, Los Angeles, Dallas/Fort Worth, New York, Melbourne, and Singapore.

With the recent addition of Fiji Airways and Oman Air, and Hawaiian Airways set to join the alliance in 2026, interest in Pacific and Middle Eastern destinations has surged. Searches have notably increased for Fiji, the Cook Islands, Kiribati, Hawaii, and Oman, reflecting growing traveller curiosity for diverse, long-haul experiences.

According to oneworld’s data, Japan leads as the top origin market for Round the World tickets, followed by Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong. Interestingly, 66% of travellers are embarking on solo journeys, typically visiting an average of seven destinations over three or more months.
