I apologize in advance if this post is redundant but after 4 times trying to get the search feature to work I just gave up Laughing

So, I have a start date of September 1st and my interview with the K consulate is on August 18th, therefore I most likely won't have my visa til August 23rd at the earliest. Which leaves me with the task of booking my flight to SoKo only a few days in advance. So my question is if anyone knows any sites that offer good deals on last minute flights to Korea? I've been looking at prices on cheapoair.com and prices have come down alot (when I looked a month ago prices were around $900 and now prices are as low as $575 before taxes) However, I'm sure the prices aren't gonna stay low for much longer Crying or Very sad I've heard that Korean sites are better for low prices but after doing a search on Naver I couldn't figure out how to find flights TO Korea rather than FROM Korea. Any help would be appreciated! Very Happy

Edit: Sorry forgot to mention that I'm flying out from the US

I'm in The same boat, but I won't even have my confirmation number till next week. Plus I am trying to book a train or rent a car just to get to the consulate for my interview at the last minute.

It seems a little shady. There's a bunch of complaints about them online.

yeah, I though about that too as it does seem a little unrealistic price wise( espcially considering it's Cathy Pacific)...and I guess you receive your internery after you book and pay.
You can always just call the airlines and double check your seat status or despuite the charges on your cc statement.

It's a tool. You have to buy through a travel agent.

ITA's first product was an airfare search and pricing system called QPX. This system is now used by Orbitz, Bing Travel, Kayak.com, CheapTickets, travel agents and many of the U.S. and international airlines. ITA also hosts its own website based on QPX, although you cannot buy tickets from it.

You need to call the airlines directly to book the flights.
