Anyone know an airline in Far East that does a cheap ticket allowing stop overs in other countries?
Q. I am looking for a ticket that allows you a few days stay in different countries. Actually although I fancy the far east I would be interested to learn about other parts of the world too.

A. Cathay Pacific has an All-Asia pass that allows travel for 21 days with a choice of 23 different cities. There are restrictions and on many flights you may need to return to Hong Kong to fly to your next destination, but it's a good deal for as low as $1,399 and it's a great airline, too:
