How to purchase go china air pass + pricing
Hi,
I having a KL flight to china in a few months, and am considering using a go-china flight pass for my domestic travel.
How can I book it? Do I have to ask my TA to do it for me? Or do I have to call KL? How much does each flight cost on such pass? I'm looking at the following itinerary: CTU-JZH-CTU-KWL-HGH. Also, do the flights have to by in economy class?
Thanks

Yes, your TA may book it and KL or any ST company directly also (could be cheaper)
Fares per coupon are based on the distance flown.
A link about this specific pass
http://www.skyteam.biz/fr/travel-offers/go-china/
Economy class: all participating airlines
Business class: only on CZ & MF
First class: only on MU
Fares found on french TA site for each coupon in eco, min 3 max 16 coupons
So you need 2 coupons for less than 500 miles (CTU-JZH-CTU), 1 for 500 to 700 (CTU-KWL), and 1 for 700 to 1100 (KWL-HGH)
BTW, another pass is interesting, that do not need to have already a ticket, it is a package like RTW trip, based on the maximum distance flown (3 to 11 coupons)

You may fly in economy or business (but not for the same price)

interesting
I read the website.
So if I was going to buy a return ticket on CI from BNE-TPE-HKG return 6 months. And then wanted to do this by flying to Chongqing do I have to fly from HKG? or can I fly from Shenzhen. Why? Because there is no direct flight from Hong Kong or Taipei on a skyteam carrier to Chongqing which is annoying. Hence flying out of Shenzhen where I am based currently. But I usually buy my ticket from Brisbane when traveling between home country and here.
Also I assume this excludes taxes and etc. How to book? Another thing is I would probably book an Amsterdam-UK LHR or smaller airports, until now I have been flying easy jet to Stansted or Southend but if nearly similar or 10-20euros higher pricing including baggage and etc, I would go skyteam for sure.
I realise that we need a min of 3 vouchers. But I was thinking like... SZX-CKG return. And maybe a HKG-TPE return as I do buy 6month-1 year tickets.
