Ok ...so today they showed me that they reserved my ticket to go home....after asking me if dropping me off on the west coast was as far as they had to go Rolling Eyes .....so the flight starts at Incheon......and I'm in Daegu.....wtf??

I don't mind taking a bus up there.....but they brought me here and seem to have a hard time understanding they need to send me home....the same freakin way... Confused


Anyone else heard of this "international airport" bull$hit before??

well maybe i forgot some details....they paid for me to come to this city....but expect me to pay my way up to Seoul...its not about the money so much as the fact that they had no problem flyin me all the way here but then actully asked me if they could drop me off on the west coast and pay for my way back across my country because it would be a domestic flight.....

I understand now. That's different than complaining about getting a ride to Incheon. Why don't you contact the labor board? They might do something. Doubt it, but never know.

This might be something the newbs might want to make sure they have in their contract--a flight back to the same airport they came from.

yeah they were tryin to say the airport I came from wasn't an international one because it wasn't a direct flight to Korea Rolling Eyes Like they all the sudden forgot what a connecting flight is......

but i'm not gonna make a big deal out of a $20 bus ticket with the labor board.....

Its just the way they're doing this ticket thing....

Actually you may want to contact immigration. I believe they are required by some form they sign when they get your visa(it says they are responsible for your ass) that they have to return you to the same place you came from.
