Fly back and forth using asian pass? & miles
Does anyone know if I take several flights using asian pass to fly to the same place twice? ie. Jfk to Soeul to Taiwan and Hong Kong and back to Soeul and then back to Hong Kong?
Can you bank miles if you are using asian pass?
Thanks!

Unfortunatly, I don't think so...
1) the CX All Asia Pass (if that is what your talking about) doesnt allow mileage accural in any program
2) You can only visit each destination once.
Even without the miles, the All-Asia pass seems like a deal to me. , I'm thinking about doing the pass this summer, which would cost me around $1400.. When booking through a regular travel agent the res came to around $2500 which although less than I though it would be, I am finding it hard to justify paying $1000+ for the miles I would earn.

I think the All-Asia airpass has got to be one of the best deals all around even though its non-mileage accruable. I'm talking about the one from Thailand. Last year I compared their prices and found it to be significantly cheaper than the one from SIN. Bear in mind though that you can only stop-over in HKG on the last leg of your itinerary.
Thanks for all your input... I guess it is better to go with the Star Alliance Asian pass... you can bank your miles... using this one.. it just cost a little more.. but I think it is worth it.

Even though Asia Pass is good value, from SYD, I think its better to pay and get the milage.
To answer your question, it doesn't appear to be possible to go to the same spot twice

But what does it mean one can only stop over in HK on the last leg? Does it mean one goes from BKK to say, Tokyo, transitting only in HKG, then onto all the places without visiting HK until one is ready to return to BKK? But CX does not fly between so many non-HKG cities!
