Together with the Round the World route, Star Alliance has become famous for their multiple air passes for different regions. Today I would like to speak about the option they offer within Asia and South Pacific. First of all, let’s see which countries this offer includes, as they use the term Asia excluding all the Middle East Region but including some South Pacific countries. This travel pass can bring you to 17 countries, grouped in 3 regions: South-East Asia, North Asia and South-Pacific South-East Asia includes Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos. You can travel to all those destinations if you want, but you can’t fly to a country that is outside this zone and then come back to visit another one belonging to the zone. You need to finish the countries you want to see in this zone before going on. The area of North Asia has the same rules as the one before, and the countries included are Hong-Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China. Finally, the South-Pacific area includes only Australia and New Zealand. The limitations and rules are pretty clear. There exist two options, one for 15,000 miles and the other for 18,000, with different prices and also depending on the class you prefer when flying. The minimum stay allowed is 3 days and the maximum is 6 months, taking into account that you need to do at least 2 stopovers during your route, you are allowed to land only once in each city, and you are forced to return to the origin city where you started the trip. In the end, taking a look at all this, the plan seem very interesting for all Asia and South Pacific lovers, as this offer comes together with reduced prices and allows great flexibility, adapting to the needs of almost every passenger. If it has only one negative point, is that you must travel within the 3 sectors, drawing a circle, so in case that you have very few days, probably the price will not be worth and a local ticket that could apply to only one of the regions or to one country alone could be more price-saving. Of course you are allowed to visit the three regions in three days but… Do you really think you will enjoy a trip like this one?
