Korean Job Discussion Forums

Hi everyone,

I have been browsing through the forums. I just recently accepted a job in the GEPIK program. They will reimburse me for my airplane ticket. Which websites or airlines do you recommend that I check? I heard from some people that Singapore Air is the best way to go. I'm trying to find tickets that aren't too expensive but also that I can fly comfortably. My price range is that I'm willing to spend in $500-$1000 one-way.

Thanks for the help!

cost will vary depending on your city of departure. i'd recommend you check out asiana, united, and korean air. probably looking at between $800.00 - $1000.00 USD one way.

check out northwest.com, korean air and if you can manuever the website in Korean then whypaymore.co.kr also check expedia or orbitz.

United Air is terrible DON'T FLY them - you'll really be sorry - everyone I know says the same

Korean Air, they are down at the bottom of my list just above United but probably you'll find they have the most flights here

Singapore? never flew them

fyi, if you tell your school you don't have the bucks to fly they'll buy your ticket for you - even if you already said ok, just let them know you miscalculated and really want to come but just can't afford the flight.

If you can fly straight out of San Francisco, I definitely recommend you fly Singapore air. In the off season I usually pay 800-900 USD round trip. If you fly in the middle of the week, you often get an entire row to yourself to stretch out in. Even if you don't, the service is great, the food is great, the flight attendants are beautiful, and the entertainment is great. It's not a bad way to spend 12 hours.

Here's my tip: Reserve a "special" meal at least a day before you fly. The vegetarian Indian option, or the non-vegetarian Hindu option. You get served first and the food is often better.
