| This was on expedia. They usually list a bunch of cheap flights and when you click on them they say the price has jumped $1000. You just gotta f*ck with it and pick the worst combo of arrival/departures and then you're flying straight outta Locash! I did the same thing on Expedia on a short notice flight on TACA and yeah you're flossin some crappy airport for longer than you want, but a cheap flight can be had. |

Your 413,000 beats my 487,800 I paid today, but I'm quite happy with the price of 487,800. That's quite good considering how weak the won is and how tickets were 2X to 3X more than this up until today. That's about $363 which is still quite good for a 3 week break to the warm tropics. The only thing is you can't change departure date, but you can cancel for 50,000 won should something come preventing you from going.
Are they going to be practically giving away tickets to Thailand within the month? |

a few questions for those "in the know":
1) is there a low season for travel to SE asia (more specifically, cebu)? if so, when would that be? (march?)
2) would it be better to book tickets for that low season 2-3 months ahead of time or to wait until a few weeks before? |

| Yeah, I booked a couple weeks ago and it looks like prices have dipped pretty low since then. Still, better than the 900,000 range I was seeing a month a go. |

| I wish accomodation would dip lower too. I`Ve heard you can bargain with them but I`ve never done it before? ANybody ever bargained down a nice hotel, etc through email? I wont be staying 2 weeks at one place so I guess I have no leverage? |

| I see that fare on the super discount section but when I press on the dates and go on to the next step of booking the window opens up into a half window and won't let me go on to booking....did you call onlinetour and book that way? Hell, if I can get 420 fares I'll cancel my current tickets and save another 200,000. |

Try signing in first and then going here: http://flight.onlinetour.co.kr/booking/BkSpcDiscountList.lts?kind=city
Looks like they have two pages for super discounts. |
