I'm looking to go here for chuseok break. I know it's only one month away but we were only supposed to have sat-thurs off for the break so we were gonna go to china / hong kong or somewhere pretty close.

However our principal and our boss decided that instead of making us come back to teach for one day (friday) she sould give us the week off and we can take one less day off in december (I love those two).

Anyway, this was only decided upon last week and I was too busy preparing for my holiday in the philippines (which i'm on now) to evern worry about chuseok break.

Anybody got any good suggestions for where or who to book with? I e-mailed soho travel but they gave me a quote of almost 900,000won, which is more than I'm willing to spend / give to the airline company.


I know of interpark too, but I'm on my netbook down here and it won't allow me to view the booking page as my screen is too small.


long message, but thanks in advance.

I would recommend giving Marco Polo in Itaewon a try on 4th floor of that building with a Burger King. He's very easy to talk to and is an extremely intelligent level headed gentleman who's traveled abroad hundreds of times so he's knows his international business to a very high degree. I'm talking about some real genuine talent here. He's the real living Korean Marco Polo!

I don't want to list phone numbers and emails since I'm not advertising; just recommending his service based on my positive experience.

i'd definately try some sites
i use kayak as well as some korean sites such as ybtours.co.kr and nexxtour.co.kr

i'd book asap! flight prices are going up and are slowly selling out. please do not leave this to the last minute. i already booked my flight to japan for chuseok back in june and it still costed me almost 600 000 won

I booked a return flight to Cambodia for Chuseok a couple of weeks ago.

The cheapest I could find was through cheapoair.com, I paid a little more than $700US (taxes included). That is with a layover in China.
