When I called CX to enquire about the Visit Pass fares, I was told that this was a very unusual fare product and they usually do not have any enquiries for it. After receiving the fare quote, I think I know why - the cost of each of the 4 sectors was almost the fare of all 4 sectors if I booked it myself using the airline website. Granted, that is the cheapest fare that is non-refundable, no-changeable non-endorsable, non-everything. But the Visit Pass conditions are equally restrictive and if I was not misinformed, the change fee is costs almost as much as a a new ticket.

Is there any reason why this product still exists?
