Hi... I wondering if anybody has purchased a plane ticket recently and whether you got the best deal online or through a travel agent. I'm looking for a return flight to Halifax in early July and returning mid August. I'm just curious to see how much of a better deal a travel agent may possibly be able to find. If you're curious... I have not been able to find a deal better than NWA's 1,500$A/2,200$Canadian. I'm a little disappointed with this because I know NWA offered the same flight for 1,700$Canadian earlier and now it's gone. Thanks.

I tend to get $600-$700 one-way tickets through the travel agents in Seoul. I get someone who speaks Korean to order them for me, though.

try getting a fligh to Toronto, than pick a regional based airline to fly into Halifax like Jetsgo, Canjet, or Westjet(not sure if they are in Halifax?) they always offer cheap rates those discount airlines you could try Air Canada too see what happens.

I just bought a ticket to China and back. I got it through LotteTours. I searched on the interent and most flights were around 600,000. LotteTours gave it to me for 330,000. I had a Korean organise it for me though.

If you fly Air Canada, there is a voucher for sale on the buy/sell forum.

Two flights for the wife and me at different times.

Hers is W750,000 Won Seoul-London- Seoul via Bangkok leaving July 16th for six weeks, and mine is 870,000 Seoul-London-Seoul via KL leaving first week of August for three weeks.

Those prices are without tax and we got them through Suzie at Hanatour and Sophie at Xanadu respectively. Sophie in particular was really patient and helpful and found me a great deal when I honestly thought I would not get anything under 1.2 million.

This is the first time I've bought flights from here to the UK. How do these compare with others' experiences?

I got a flight to London Heathrow via Shanghai from a local travel agent in Gwangju who speaks English. It cost me a million won including tax. There was one for 8000,000won inc tax but it was sold out. This was at Easter time.

Roundtrip Seoul-Michigan. Two adults and two kids for 3.2 million.

Email Jenny at [email protected] and tell her what you need. It's pretty late to book for the summer though. You should have done it 2 months ago to get the best prices.
