SkyTeam Europe Pass
"With the SkyTeam Europe Pass program, you can:
Travel at your own pace — simply book a seat, before your inter-continental departure, on the first intra-European flight you wish to take and then travel throughout Europe when and wherever you wish
Stay as many or few days as you like — the length of your total stay in Europe is only limited by the return date on your Northwest Airlines or KLM Royal Dutch Airlines inter-continental ticket
Travel as much as you want —purchase a minimum of three one-way flight coupons on any of the nine SkyTeam members; you can even return to a city you’ve already visited "
