| Due to the tensions with NK? Or will they get more expensive? Should I buy my ticket now or later? |

Having flown to SK quite often for the past 2 years, I have seen flight prices increasing.
However that may be because I fly from the UK and we have so much tax to pay when flying here...
And I don't fly direct with KAL or OZ as they are just too expensive.
But I don't believe they will rise due to tensions with NK. |

| LOL, Prices are going up. Airlines / travel agencies will use the NK situation to raise prices. |

So they are going to make even less people want to come here...
Yeah that makes economic sense. |

I checked the flights hoping that I could find a good deal for a quick visit due to the NK situation. The prices are pretty high and are that way until the end of summer.  |

Once all the lower priced seats are sold, the price rises.
I found with Emirates to the UK, the best time to book is 3-4 months before the date of travel.
A few years ago, left it to the last 2 months and one day seats were 1.2m, but the next day they shot up to 2m- Could hardly believe it.
Ended up going a different route for 1.5m, but had to make 2 extra overnight stays. |

School vacation dates are usually pretty hectic times for travelling: These flights sell pretty quickly. There will always be some expensive seats left and cancellations. |

Will it really effect it?
Lots of people on these flights tend to be going to Korea as a necessity. Usually, they're Korean (not going to give up on the homeland), soldiers, English teachers etc. |

| Dam the costs, the potential for SCUDs is what concerns me. |
