You are aware that 3 one-way legs will likely cost you more than 2 round trip tickets?
I would look at ICN-BKK out , BKK-(Australia) out
(Australia)-BKK return, BKK-Seoul. return
so in effect you have 2 round trip tickets rather than 3-one way legs.
The cost saving could be as much as 50%.
Price shop from a few websites or even a couple of the airlines themselves. eg: Thai air was booking some pretty cheap tix recently on their website.

I got tickets for a week and a half to Cambodia in late January, $510 round trip using Orbitz through Kayak using my American bank card. Every Korean agency I tried, including Shoestring and Xanadu, wanted well more than 1 million AND tried to force me to travel on days other than my stated preference. Book yourself, DON'T use a Korean card if at all possible.
I DID use Xanadu for another trip to China though, as going through the absurd ringamarole for a tourist visa to the People's Republic is bad enough even with help, and we Americans have to pay the special 190,000 either way  |

My current flight Roundtrip (using Thai air) from Seoul to Phuket is around 900,000 while if I do Phuket to Sydney Roundtrip it would also be around 900,000.
Ilsan travel quoted me for around 1,800,000 Seoul > Phuket > Sydney > Seoul so that might be my best bet. Anyone find a lower price?
Either I suck at this, or it just isn't in the cards for lower than 1.7 mil. |
