|
|
Hi Guys
I'm going to sign a public school contract and I'll have to get a flight to Incheon. The flight will be reimbursed but it must be economy class.
I want to know the cost of a flight from London or Paris non stop to Seoul. I'm seeing prices like �1,500 ~ $3,000. Does that seem reasonable?
What airline/travel agents did others use?
Thanks |

Those prices are way above what you should be paying.
I believe only korean air and Asiana have direct flights from London to Seoul.
I did a search on Korean air. (from Nov 1 2008 - to late 2009) price 1300 Euro.
If you are willing to take a connecting flight Try Cathay Pacific, used the same dates.. and cost 856 pounds.
Both flights include tax.
I spent more time typing this post than searching for flights, I'm sure if you look around you will be able to do better. |

Air France was the cheapest I could find to go home at Christmas. It was 1.4 million (about 850 euro at the time) return via Paris. That was from the Air France website. |

Make sure you use the European/UK site portal. The prices shown on the Korean portal will be significantly lower than what you will pay. (This is intended for the OP) |

Korean Air and Air Asiana are more expensive because only they do direct. My recent flight over was just short of 1000 pounds, but I only booked about 5 days in advance. And PS paid for it. Shouldn,t your PS be paying for it and not you? Try to gt them to because it's a lotta dosh.
BA and Cathy do a code share for about 700 but it's a long flight via Hong Kong - twice as long as it needs to be.
Work on the PS paying for it. Pressure the recruiter to get it sorted. |
