Why worry about cheap. It is your bosses responsibility to get and pay for the ticket. If he can't/won't do it, then pick the NEAREST travel agent, book the ticket with the routing you want (direct flight maybe?) and then get your boss to pay for it.
If you have to spend your time farting around to save some money, then you can try http://www.whypaymore.co.kr/ but you have to read Korean. Alternatively get your Korean co-worker to call them on 1577-1245 or 02-318-8585.
Currently they are showing tickets to London via Bangkok with Thai airline for w712,000 and Seoul-London direct via KAL for w1,303,000. These costs do not include taxes or fuel surchanges.

The school will give me cash as I'm not returning home. Does anyone know a good travel agent inside Korea? |

Check the travel sticky.
I have used different travel agents on the 3 times Ive been out of the country because each quoted me cheaper prices than the others at the time. Just email all the travel agents and see who has the cheapest airfares. Ive worked with Shoestring Travel, Timemachine Travel and Kangsan Travel... the service at all three was terrific. |

Right, it's probably the most common travel related question. Pops up near every week. |
