|
|
So my girlfriend has to go to London towards the end of the month, but she's relatively flexible with dates.
Seems that almost everything is sold out: whypaymore, 072, gmarket
I found a ticket on airasia from Kuala Lumpur to London for about 200k, but how could she get to Kuala Lumpur? At least from Air Asia everything for the week around the 25th is sold out.
Are they being held by travel agencies? Would going through one be her best bet?
She doesn't wanna buy separate tickets anyways. There must be a way to get there and back under 1 mil. right? |

She could try aeroflot. Book through a travel agent or directly on the airline website. My return ticket, Incheon-London, was less than 800,000 Won when I flew back in July. There is a transfer in Moscow. |

Try www.toptravel.co.kr
For the best deals, don't click on the English, but rather get a Korean friend to help you purchase an E-ticket from the site. |

K thanks guys.
I tried aeroflot, and all I got was an overnight layover two days later than she really wants to leave for $1100.
She is korean, so I'll have her check out toptravel.
Is this just a really popular time to travel? |

usually seems to be the case with the Korean sites for the cheap tickets. Just go on the waiting list and a place will open up most of the time after a short while. I guess your friend will want something sorted pretty fast though....

Yeah, always a tough call whether to hold out with fingers crossed or just suck it up and pay the high price now rather than a higher one later.. |
