So I went over to Unique travel today to pay for some tickets. I found, to my unpleasant surprise, it had burned along with a few stores near it on Thursday night. Hmmmm, crap. Now luckily I do have reservations still with another agency, but they are charging considerably more than Unique who obviously arent answering their phone or emails right now. I've got about 2 weeks till I've got to fork out for the higher price, so if anyone hears whats going on with Unique I'd love to know about it, thanks!

It burned down?!? Holy crap! I just payed for my tickets to Hawaii on Monday their and they printed them out and the tickets are in my hands. I hope my tickets are legite and I hope that they payed the airline and no problems arise.

My ticket is also from Unique Travel.. I went directly to Philippines Airlines on Friday, and its confirmed - still a good ticket!

I'm sitting here in shock. I spoke with Young-mi on Thursday. My tickets for two different trips had been paid for with my credit card, and tickets were to have gone out on Friday. Has anyone heard what customers are supposed to do? This is unreal.

And not one business in those two buildings had fire insurance. I am still asking around to find out how it started. Nobody knows yet.

glad I made backup reservations on united's web site. Actually got a better fare through them than through Unique for my trip back

I just spoke to them and everything seems to be okay with my flight leaving January 21.

My tickets were lost in the fire. Young-mi has just assured me that they will be reprinted, and sent out again in the next day or so. Since I no longer live in Seoul, picking them up is not really an option. I have dealt with Unique and Young-mi for many years, so I do know she will keep her word.

the info I was able to gather today goes like this : they have a temp office set up in the KEB (across from where they had been) #403 and they are open as of right now, weekday hours are 9-7 and Saturday 9-4, I think Sunday is the same as Sat. but Im not 100% sure

Tarah,

Thanks for the additional info. They have always been closed on Sunday in the past. If anyone is thinking of visiting them on a Sunday they should definitely double check.
