An increasing number of international travelers have the time and the desire to see more than one destination. Visitor air fares and international passes are among the most economical ways to make that happen. With international airpasses, it usually pays to buy before you go. These tickets come as sets of one-way coupons and as passes that provide virtually unlimited travel within a specified time period. Rights of Passage Time allowed for pass travel is often linked to the dates of your international ticket.
Some passes are seasonal and either cost more or are unavailable during peak travel times.
This form of travel carries various restrictions. Have your travel agent or the airline explain them to you before you purchase. Some passes require that your transoceanic travel is booked on a specific carrier. Many passes are not available if your international ticket comes from award miles or a consolidator. Passes are nonrefundable once your trip has begun.
