I perused about five pages, didn't find my answer. I also seem to have trouble navigating asiana and the koreanair websites as I can't seem to get them to give me the fares.

I'm looking to take a vacation, so I'm interested basically in Vegas, Chicago, or NY possibly. What are these cities looking to run me out of Seoul (in USD) if I book a month or two ahead?

you mean round trip right?

i'd guess the average would be $1200...unless it was a high season it'd be more).

You can usually find some around $1000.

$900 or more one way and $1500 or a lot more for RT. Shop around. Call or email travel agents. I find that that directly contacting the airlines or going on airline sites is the most expensive way to go while travel agents offer much better deals.

Ok, thanks guys.

i'm trying to do the same thing. that is, take a week off to spend w/family in dallas this may. anything i can find runs roughly $1300-$1400 for RT.

can these sohotravel guys do better?

Try these websites. They're really much cheaper than anything else I've found. You don't need a lot of Korean, just a little. But you will need a credit card (and a banking certificate if it's a Korean credit card).

You can usually find round trip fares for under 1m if your travel dates are a little flexible. I sometimes fly to Seattle or LA and then buy my domestic flight from there if it saves me a lot of money.

I got 1,300,000 won for a round trip from Incheon to the States.
