Cathay allasia pass
wrote:
I am planning a trip to several countries in Asia. I can book an all asia pass with Cathay for US$1350 which supposedly allows unlimited travel for 90 days. Can anyone share their experiences with this pass? I've used the Malaysia Airlines pass. I've also shadowed someone who was using the Cathay pass (it worked out cheaper for her, and for me it worked out cheaper - and faster! - to have point-to-point tickets on various airlines). It pretty much works like they say it does. You have to pick your route in advance and it is set in stone. You can change dates around though as long as you do the same stops in the same order as originally planned - I don't recall whether there's a fee but I'm sure it says on the web site. Most of the time you'll have to go back to Hong Kong between other destinations, though with some creative planning and careful reading of CX's schedules you can avoid it sometimes. This is sort of annoying if you're flying from, say, Penang to Bali. I'm wondering if it would be better to get the cheapest flight to BKK and then book airfares as I need them. I want to visit the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand at a minimum. If you're just doing those countries, you may well be able to do it cheaper that way. Add on much more, though, and the pass is going to catch up quickly. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |
