Hey guys, being so bored this evening i was looking up air fares to MAN. Then i stumbled across an idea, trying to find the lowest fare around the world!
EG, using Yahoo only, find the best prices for flights all the way from your home airport, around the world and back again.
The only rules are that you use Yahoo travel to find your fares, you do your world trip in less than 7 days, all routes must be taken by air and it must lead to and from your home airport, flying the whole way round the world (along the lines of latitude, or is it longitude?), every overnight stop at an airport is $50.

Why are you doing roundtrip tickets? are they cheaper than one way? Just wondering

They're cheaper usually but if the airline catches you not using the 2nd segment of your flight they may give you trouble next time you want to check in with them.
I don't have the time to do this now, but I've heard of United pricing fares LAX-IAD, via HKG, DEL and LHR the same as a non-stop. Then add a non-stop return IAD-LAX and you're set.
If I could find that on Yahoo that'd be a sure winner.
