What's the quickest / cheapest flight from Busan to Vancouver? I'm Australian, & intend to travel overland from Vancouver to Calgary (3-4 weeks in October 2008), & then fly into the US in late Oct / early November (4-6 weeks in the US). Perhaps Denver or Las Vegas?
I will depart San Francisco mid December, spend a few days in Hawaii, & be home by Christmas in Australia. I'm aware of the US visa waiver program requirements. But am clueless, as to Canadian visa requirements. Purpose of travel is sightseeing / tour. Found this in a quick search:

Visitor Visa Exemptions
Many people do not require a visa to visit Canada. These include:
citizens of Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia et al |

Will I need to depart Seoul? Or are their direct flights from Busan? Air China, & Cathay Pacific go via Beijing & Hong Kong. Other flights stop in Narita, Tokyo. |

To enter Canada you simply require proof of funds (credit card will suffice) and onward passage (you may or may not get asked) along with a passport that has MORE THAN 6 months validity remaining on it.
The CHEAPEST flights from Korea to Vancouver will be out of Seoul. There are a number of carriers who fly direct (non-stop) or you can possibly get even cheaper flights routing through places like HK, Taipei or Tokyo.
Korean Air, Singapore Air, and Air Canada are among those who fly direct from Korea to Vancouver.
I couldn't find any direct flights from Busan to YVR. |

Thanks ttompatz
My passport expires December 2009, but is almost full. I have 5-6 months to get a new one. |
