On the Web site www.lastminute.co.kr a ticket to Bali starts at 508,000 won excluding tax, yet a ticket to Singapore at half that price. Both destinations require around six to seven hours to fly, yet Bali is double the price.

This is the second time I've seen this link. The link never works.
Got the link to work after editing it. Decent prices....

Not to hijack, but how much extra might the taxes and fees be? I'm getting a quote for 556,000 won on Thai Airways.

Thailand taxes r running about 230,000 now.

556,000 won is expensive r u traveling before 16 Aug? Peak season ends on the 15th Aug.

The fares don't go down until the 16th. Still waiting for that agency to get back to me are they usually slow?

Cool, I'll get quotes to leave on the 16th and just go to Seoul on the 15th for a day.

When I get paid next Friday, I'm just going to start calling travel agents for quotes and then make my purchase. Yes, I asked Kangsan 5 days ago what the total cost would be in email and no word back yet.
