The biggest restriction is that you can only purchase an air travel pass in conjunction with an international ticket to the region. For example, if United issues you a ticket to Japan on flights operated by United or its partners, United will sell you the air pass you couldn’t buy a ticket to Japan on Delta and then buy the United air pass around North Asia. Air travel passes can help you explore a region of the world for less than the cost of purchasing individual tickets.
For example, the Skyteam alliance offers a Go Europe pass that includes between 3 and 16 different flights, on which you can visit the same city twice (but no more). Travelers can purchase the pass directly from a member of one of the alliances, which tickets them on flights within a particular region. Each of the three major airline alliances offers air travel passes that are sold in conjunction with an international ticket. When you’re trying to put together a large trip, rather than pay for individual flights (or trains, or other modes of transportation) around the region you’re exploring, you might consider the little known option of air travel passes.Īir travel passes are akin to rail passes (like those commonly used in Europe) they’re special fares that allow you to visit multiple destinations in a particular region at a discounted rate. The most efficient way to use your points and miles is to see as much as you can with one major international award flight, rather than travel back and forth between home and abroad.
Today, TPG Contributor Jason Steele introduces us to the Air Travel Pass, a great way to get around for travelers with multiple regional destinations in mind.
