Okay, any help would be greatly appreciated! I need to purchase 2 RT fares form Inchon to BKK leaving Aug 3rd (or 4th) And coming back Aug 26. But, I can't read Korean. Anyone know where I can get some inexpensive tics, preferably w/ Thai air cause we have their frequent flyer cards.

I found some tix on JAL.com for 1230USD/person.
JAL is a ONEWORLD member and thai air is a Star Alliance member, so your FF Miles won't apply.

Good luck with your search.

whypaymore.co.kr is showing it in the 500s on Thai. You'll have to get a Korean to call as they stopped offering English service.

JAL is quite expensive. 500s don't sound bad...anyone ever contact Thai air for a ticket and cut out thr middle man?

Here's another, I went to Thaiairways.com

1 adult(s) x (580,000.00 + 103,500.00) = 683,500.00 KRW

total for all travellers 683,500.00 KRW

Go direct to the Thai airways website.

Buy off their with a visa card.

Same price as the agents in Thailand

Or I can email you the travel agent I use in thailand and she can sort it out for you if you deposit the money in her bank account.

I don't know, but I'm going to go with the cheapest fare...English speaking agent in Itaewon or not. Got any contacts? But don't give me the number of that guy that rips people off I've been reading about here, my school wouldn't appreciate that, I'm sure. Very Happy

check out Kangsan Travel's web site (051-747-0031 www.kangsantravel.com ). In their Specials section there is a Thailand deal. I remember it seeming quite reasonable.

Just go to the thai air website that i gave you, and buy the tix with your CC.

Print out the etix or just write down your confirmation #, finito !

No reason for any agent at this time.

The cheapest quote so far from Whypaymore.kr:

541,000+103,800 tax = 644,800 per person....1,289,600 per two.

Do you think it reasonable to ask my Elem school to pay for both tickets as this is my vacation for resigning and actually my home is in the New York City suburbs? I haven't checked but I'm guessing that a RT ticket to New York would run about that or more.

By 'both' do you mean, for you and someone else who works with you or for your tix to Thailand and then NY?

I'm sure asking won't hurt, depending on your relationship with your school. Be discreet on those matters, schools might have nothing against paying for your exit return ticket, but most schools must document it, and show it to their head educ. office and might get in trouble if it says "Thailand" instead of your home country.

I booked my ticket leaving August 4th and arriving back here on the 24th. I paid 517,000 total, taxes in, with Eva Air. Not sure if they have anything left, but it'd be worth checking out.

The other ticket's for my wife and I want to fly Thai for the frequent flyer mileage not to mention the comfort,,,Thaiair is my favorite carrier!
