Does anyone have any recommendations?

I got a cheap flight into Osaka and am looking for connections to Seoul.

Return tix from Japan can be as low as W200-300,000, whereas one-way tix are over W700,000.

I could try leaving Japan on a return ticket, but I have no ongoing ticket out of Japan, and a visa for Korea - I've heard airlines can charge the price of a oneway ticket if they think you're only going to use part of it.

Anyone have experience with discount airlines? good travel agents?

Thanks

Is that 250,000KRW roundtrip or oneway? How did you book that? Not a bad deal considering flights from Osaka cost less to the US than from Korea. I could get two vacations out of this.

It was a little over 200 one-way (per person, for 2 in the deluxe room). It WASN'T luxurious. Don't buy what they have on the website. One expects a pool, elaborate floor-show, casino, etc. One gets a glorified ferry. But one does have a decent room and some nice views of the Inland Sea. And the show was the Russian restaurant help playing accordion along with a laptop, so, entertaining in its own way. You can check it out at panstar.co.kr.
