I think maybe im being too ambitious or something but Korean travel agents cannot seem to grasp putting together an itinerary unless i give them specific information, i have leeway so wanted them to help...but they just give me dumb options.

I want to get tickets from Korea to Hiroshima, then Hiroshima to Siam Reap, then Ho Chi Min (Saigon) to Auckland NZ

Ive tried 4 travel agents, and they cannot help at all...all they can suggest are buying 3 return tickets ><. I said im willing to be flexible, eg if i cant do Hiroshima to Siam Reap then i could train to a different airport in Japan....but still they cant help..

Are there any sites that i can use to get flight info, so i can go into a travel agent with the flights i want and see what they can give me...

I love the www.whypaymore.co.kr website, but it seems to only do from korea to one destination, as does nearly every website ive used Sad

If it were me, I would do:

Ferry Korea to Japan.

Then I would go to the VIETNAM AIRLINES office and buy 2 one-way tickets:

* Osaka or Fukuoka to Siem Reap (via Ho Chi Minh) - Vietnam Airlines.

* Siem Reap to Sydney (again via Ho Chi Minh) - Vietnam Airlines.

Then get a flight Sydney to Auckland on any number of carriers.

If Cathay Pacific serves the places you wanna go, I recommend you go to their office. They are very helpful.

Plus you'll rack up a bunch of Asia Miles.
