for those going back to North America (Canada or America) this summer, have you had much luck getting tickets for a decent price. From what I've seen, the prices are through the roof. Best my gf could find using a travel agent was $1,600 roundtrip (west coast in the states). Checked some online sites and same tickets were over $2000. Anyone out there had much success?

Wife and I got round trip to the east cost of the states and back for 1.29 million each. Not that bad, but not that good either!

1.4 on our second choice airline to Frisco. First choice was booked back in April!

My tickets to the West Coast were 800,000 via NW online. I bought them in April.

one way to Edmonton 1600$

One way to Nova Scotia almost 1.3 mil.

1.5 Mil RT to Edmonton, booked in April. One explanation for these high ticket prices is, as usual, Air Canada's greed, but also problems with American student visas. A lot of Koreans are apparently giving up on American schools for their kids this summer, and are sending them to Canada.

If I had time to spare and no ticket, I would buy an American ticket and then take a connector flight or a bus to Canada. LA or Chicago might not be so hard to get to.

2.1 return to St. Johns. Coulda gotten cheaper I suppose, but only one stopover almost makes it worth it.

I need to fly from Incheon to Paris morning of Friday 15 July have one meeting late afternoon and return that evening.

It looks like 3 million - I know it's unusual but does anybody have any ideas for a cheaper source?

My husband was just here in Nova Scotia for one week, he paid about $2000 for a return ticket. He's coming again in October so far the cheapest flight is about $2300. If anyone knows a good travel agency there with better rates.....please let me know...
