KL: 650,000

Has anyone seen better than this for Thailand or Malaysia recently?

Those prices don't seem that bad.

Those are good prices, if that includes the taxes.

Why don't you give the total fare including taxes/fuel. And, what are the dates? I'm still working on it but the best I've been able to do is 709,000... leaving on 2009-01-09 and returning a month later.

Last year at around the end of Jan, I paid around 850,000 won total. I think the prices will be similar for this time for year. If you get anything in the 500,000 won range (total), it's a good price.

Why would you post prices without the taxes and surcharges?


haha, prices could be almost double the prices he posted after taxes and surcharges. Laughing

Departing Jan 5, returning Jan 30th.
And yes, that is the total that was charged to my credit card.

Still more than I paid last year, but with the current situation, not a bad deal I reckon.

It's not a bad site, they also have a page that lists really cheap specials for underbooked flights.

Korean friend booked me and another on China Air to Beijing, 300K round trip each.
Find a local to go to one of the Korean websites and book on-line for you.
