finishing up late this spring, and have been scouting out flights already.

even on discount travel websites the airfare through to Ottawa and eastern Canada is steep. $1200 (uls.) or so.

i've seen mention of a 1.3 million won implied limit with airfare refunds and the like with some GEPIK schools, but if i quite literally cant find anything else am i meant to pony up the difference?

the contract makes no mention whatsoever of a limit on the airfare.

any thoughts or people in or who have been in similar situations?

If that's the case, your school is obligated to pay in full for the airfare.

if your contract has the 1.3 mil travel allowance clause,,,you get 1.3 mil....not more, not less..you keep the difference if your ticket is less and you pay the extra if your ticket is more.

I have the same contract. It does not mention an amount so they pay whatever the cost is. Cool

Seconded. Through the past couple weeks of obsessively researching EPIK GEPIK and SMOE, came across this on Korvia's website

http://www.korvia.com/index.php/benefits-gepik.html

EPIK and SMOE say 1.3M Won, GEPIK says full reimbursement.
