Soho always quoted me higher prices. Toptravel is what I've been using for the past few years. You'll have to speak some Korean though. |

Seconded! Just double-check all his work with the airline, lest you be screwed when you get to the airport. |

I wouldn't go with Soho. While he is a nice guy, he rips you off. I once got a quote from him flying Cathay Pacific and out of curiosity, I went to their website where I was offered 40,000 Won cheaper per ticket for the exact same flight! Therefore, I no longer trust his heavy commission rate. Most agents are like this. I would avoid them if possible. The only benefit is you don't have to pay immediately like you do on an airline website.
However, if Go to Korean travel websites Hanna tour, 072.com, or interpark.co.kr you can reserve and transfer money some time after reserving. Some agents just book on these websites. If you can't navigate the website in Korean, have a Korean friend or co-worker help you. These are the cheapest deals out there!
AVOID SOHO!!!! |

I found that Soho quoted me CHEAPER prices for the period I was wanting than XANADU (they are not as good as they used to be) and also the airlines available for where I wanted to go...
So I recommend Soho, particularly Soonah Ha...
I think many times it depends on the destination and the time of year and how far in advance you are able to book/pay |
