ive been looking at ssanticket.co.kr, www.072.co.kr, www.whypaymore.co.kr, and www.onlinetour.co.kr, but there isn't that much in the way of options on these sites these days.

does anyone know a better website for flights to SE Asia? I know you can often find good deals on the airlines' websites, but i'm looking for consolidators such as the website i mentioned above.

i appreciate any and all help.

sorry but i was in the same position but needed a ticket quick. i used an American company cheaptickets.com and got a direct flight DFW - ICN round trip for (gulp) 1600 US$
...but like i said, i needed it, so didn't have bargaining power....

I recommend travel.yahoo.com. It has an option where it searches dozens of other travel sites for the best bargain and connects you do them.

You'll need a major credit card or debit card bearing the visa or mc logo to purchase. Standard Korean bank debit cards aren't accepted.

If necessary, I've heard it's simple to get a visa card from IBK bank. Alternately, you can do what I did and open a bank account online with WAMU (www.wamu.com) in the states and then use the debit card (with mc logo) they give you for the purchase. You have to give them a US address though.

I tried to buy a ticket from onlinetour.kr,
but I needed to join membership.

It asks for foreigner's number- can someone tell me what that is?
I entered Korea without any visa with an American passport as a tourist.

Thanks!

I normally use travelcuts for my flights, but I've sometime found better deal elswhere. Still worth taking a look. www.travelcuts.ca

And it's not only for students.

Do a search for "airline consolidators" on Google. Plenty of options, many flights much less than other places.
