Typical Fruit-Co. arrogance, you either have an iDevice or else you are unwashed rubble and your needs are not important.

Now why am I not surprised a bit about this?

Yes, the reference by @nieldk points to the same specification mentioned in the stackoverflow answer.
Ultimately the passbook file seems to be a zipfile containing a bunch of PNG images and some JSON data describing keys.

If you are lucky one of the images might yield up an airline barcode in BCBP-2D format.
