I haven't really been able to find a cheap flight back home (people kept giving me links to Korean language sites, which I can't really figure out), so I've been looking at Expedia for my flight home. I'm flying back to San Francisco, and I keep finding flights for $727 for Nippon Airways flights (which stop in Osaka) but I keep seeing Air China flights for $465 that take you through Beijing. Aside from the few extra hours it adds to the flight, does anyone have any advice on whether or not it is worth it to take the much cheaper flight on Air China rather than the much more expensive flight from Nippon Airlines?

Just looking for some advice here and planning to fly out some time next week (not really tied to any one day).

Wonderful. They moved my post to a section of the boards no one ever reads.....

Yes, it's about the travel bug so it's moved to travel. There seems to be a lack of interest in travel so it sees the fewest posts despite the ESL bug requiring you to take on a travel bug. If you're money concious like me, then yes, I'd pick a flight nearly $300 less to sit a few hours in China. Just hope the El Cheapo is not made of typical Chinese made plastic parts that all too commonly fail us. If it's a Boeing 7XX, excluding the 787, then you're in the clear as it's solid American made equipment that is unfortanately no longer produced in the USA out of metal as all the parts composing the new 787 are lightweight, "Made in China," plastics and composites I don't trust as the new project was all about being cheap to increase their stock price. We'll have to see how safe their new 787 dreamliner really is by seeing it into service.

That China Air flight is probably the best price you'll get to SFO.

You could try a travel agent, Apple Travel at the USO in Seoul is good, and they all speak English. Google them.
