I need to book the cheapest fully-refundable trip out of Korea for end of January, so that I don't have any problems getting on my flight to Korea.

Any suggestions?

Book one of the hydrofoils from Busan to Fukuoka, Japan (do a Google search - I think there are two companies) online and put it on your credit card. When you get to K-land, cancel it. Very Happy

I am trying to book seats on the traveling one-way on the Miraejet/Kobee ferry from Busan-Hakata.
I would like to book the seats from Australia in advance.
Does anyone know how this can be done online or through specific travel agents either in Australia or Korea?
The Kobee ferry website is only in Korean.


And suuuure enough, its only in korean!

You shouldn't even need a credit card to do any of it. Just make the reservation, print screen, show it to the airline people and you are all set. (just be a nice fellow and cancel the reservation before the boat leaves.)

Hmmm. Has anyone successfully done this before?
I'd hate to be stuck at the airport because they laughed in my face Razz
