ST Asia Pass
Apparently, ST has just launched an airpass in Asia.

Now, $750 for 3 coupons looks rather steep - is it any good for anything (except for CO flights to Palau which are outrageously priced ex anywhere but Japan, or so I heard)?

It appears that their definition of Asia seems pretty generous though, as it includes New Zealand and Australia, along with most of Asia east of India and a large chunk of the South Pacific as well. So US$250 each way for a flight from Seoul to Auckland for instance would be pretty decent value in my books (especially if it was mileage eligible too ^ ).

Are they miles earning?
Was just curious as to what sort of miles can be earned on these tickets? Especially for the miserable FB program?
Was wondering what if you begin somewhere in SE Asia and needed to get to Australia/N.zealand, would we than need to go via ICN? That would be a big diversion right? Of course would be great if there are miles awarded for the diversion
Thus, it will not be too bad for the 250USD for that

OT:
If you want to try something different, ex-NRT -SYD, MEL by VN(Vietnam Airlines) L class fare is from 47,000 JPY (approx. 410 USD). Stopover in SGN is allowed.
You can earn 50% Asiamiles(CX) mileage.
