I posted a topic a few months ago looking for an airpass that allowed flexible travel throughout SE Asia. Through input from all of you I found the ASEAN pass.

There is a stipulation that states your inbound travel must be on an ASEAN pass carrier to qualify for the pass.

There was one poster who said that he booked it with no problem through TG without flying in on one of the listed carriers.

I will be flying to BKK on AA and I was wondering if there was anyone else that was able to buy the pass without a qualifying inbound flight.

I called the folks at TG and they were extremely nice, but were not that familiar with the ASEAN pass. I found one supervisor that was and she said it would be no problem to book. I worry that she did not understand that my inbound was not on TG because of the language barrier.

Any help on how strictly this rule is enforced would be appreciated.
