Should I get a ticket with a travel agent? Has anyone made an online purchase instead with KEB bank?

I am looking to get a ticket to China, so I am not too worried about costs. Some flights were as low as 150,000 won.

Forget travel agents...

Although Kayak includes Expedia in its searches, I still prefer to just use Expedia for some reason. I'm just weird.

Well, I went to Soho and they were great. I don't feel I am spending much considering China charges like 135 to Americans to get an L visa.

In fact, I wonder how Soho is making money with what they charged me. It was 30,000 more than what I found online. I'll take the loss to feel more secure. They also tried to help with a pension issue which I'll post in the jobs forum.

Here's the thread http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?p=2328295#2328295

I usually find the western sites like Kayak and Expedia more expensive. For travel agents I find Sohotravel, Kangsantravel and Shoestring travel reliable and usually cheap with decent service.

Bear in mind that you have to get your passport stamped before your flight from my understanding and experience with China. Dunno if it's still true and you can get the stamp at the airport there now, but any random travel agent can do it overnight here before you go.
