I was on their site, to fly from tokyo to Dublin (one way) costs $1500 approx, but if i fly seoul - tokyo - dublin on a multi city trip ( leave seoul july 1 and leave tokyo july 5 the total cost is only $860 after tax. i called to company to make sure and they verified the price.

the only slight problem is i must use a canadian or american billing addressed credit card, i think this problem will be easily addressed as the principal has friends in canada and the directors son lives in the u.s so they are bound to have credit cards.

anyway, the question i have is, has anyone dealt with them before? are they reputable?

Yeh, I have. First time was when I booked my flight to Korea. There was a major lag in my paperwork so I only got my Visa 3 days before I was set to leave. So I only booked my flight only 3 days before departure. I confirmed with the airlines the same day and I was in their system. No problems with Vayama whatsoever. Actually, my first flight to Korea was canceled due to fog, but the airlines treated my reservation like their own. And I was worried because I didnt buy travel insurance.

I also just booked my upcoming vacation with them from Korea to Hokkaido and so did my friend that's coming from Sweden. We must have spent all day looking for the best deals, flight combos, and total flight times, and nothing beat Vayama. Especially for his flight from Sweden.

The US or Canadian issued credit card thing is a pain, but I'm sure that's why their fares are a bit lower too. There has been quite a few inquires about Vayama today already - here's a link to more of my flight details:

Yes, I used them for a Cathay flight from NYC - BKK. They were very good. In fact, I could book my seat ahead of time. Cathay themselves would not allow my family to do so even though they booked directly.

I just used it for a short flight in Africa....they do things a bit differently but it all worked out in the end.
