AirTreks planning estimate from fare history, last checked 1 October 2026. It is not a live fare, so the price for your dates may differ. Parts of this route have little fare history, so the real price may be higher.
RTW Australia: Australia > Bangkok > Berlin, overland to Amsterdam > New York > Las Vegas, overland to Los Angeles > Australia
Tuk tuk through the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, sink a few pints in Berlin, experience real cafe culture in Amsterdam, suit up for a few cocktails in NYC, hit the Strip in Vegas, party with the stars in West Hollywood... there's time for sleep on the flight home!
The estimate at the top of this page prices the flights from Sydney. Leave in the Australian winter, June to August, and you get Berlin and Amsterdam in summer.
The two stretches on the ground
Berlin to Amsterdam is one of the easiest train rides in Europe. ICE trains leave every two hours and take 5 hours 42 minutes from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Amsterdam Centraal, and the new ICE3neo trains on the route since November 2025 have a restaurant car and free wifi. There is also a sleeper three nights a week.
Las Vegas to Los Angeles means Interstate 15 across the Mojave, about 270 miles. There is no train yet. Brightline West is building a high-speed line from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, on the edge of the Los Angeles area, but it isn't expected to open before late 2029. Until then, rent a car or take the bus.
If this route is too much party, try RTW Southern Hemisphere or the 3-stop southern loop.
