Use their website and go direct. There is NO advantage to using an agent and you will pay more for it.

Call them ... they often have alternative options for payment (direct deposit, ATM payment, debit card, etc).
Alternatively, you can troop out to their office at ICN and pay cash. (won't be any more expensive than using an agent).
Last choice, get a friend/employer to buy it for you with their C/C and pay them cash for it.

I think air.interpark.com accepts several payment methods. You can simply try to find your AirAsia flight on interpark and compare the price with the one on the official airline website. However, in my opinion the best way is to ask a Korean friend to buy the tickets for you and then simply pay back in cash  |

yeah what LiAlH4 said.
in fact, if you don't have a korean friend who would do that for you, i sure would. i love paying for people's things on my credit card and them paying me in cash. i get mileage, raise my credit limit, and can just toss the cash right back into my account. |

If you plan to use someone else's credit card be aware that you may be required to show the card at check in. That's been the case for me when I book flights/hotels etc online with card. |

Out of god knows how many flights I've been on, I've NEVER been asked to show my credit card when checking into a flight (whereas always asked when checking into a hotel).
I've also bought plane tickets for others a handful of times, it's never been an issue for them either. |

Fair enough. Maybe t's just me then. (I travel 5-6 times a year and generally have to show the card used if the booking was made online.) |

Go to an Air Asia office or go to there kiosk at the airport. The savings from online purchases for Air Asia are minimal. |

The only saving is the bus fare out and back to the airport.
