Visit Asia pass - how do I figure out how much it costs?
Just spent almost an hour on the phone to BA sales, who told me that each itinerary needs to be individually priced by Ticketing and they'll call me back tomorrow with the cost. I thought it got priced on the basis of $x per sector, or n sectors for $y - or something like that.
Is is really necessary to get BA to price each itinerary separately?
Has anyone use this package recently who can provide some advice, or steer we towards where I can get it? Thanks!

Did they even understand what you're asking for? What is your routing for example? Did you tell them that you wanted a Oneworld Visit Asia Pass?
You do know that you'd probably find better answers over at the Oneworld forum than a BA res agent?

Because every sector has a different fare. You should do some comparison to see if this really is the right product for you - TAs in the origin city of each sector can probably give you better deals.

I had a marginally successful experience of booking this pass recently, in conjunction with and after redeeming a BA AmEx Companion voucher for an open jaw flight into China. I could only get aggregated, not precise, amounts for the regional flights I added but it would seem that a zone three is GBP 125 and a zone four is in the region of GBP 150. I wrote up the experience, which is long but ultimately rewarding, on my blog:
