Well, you might want to be a little more specific about when and where the flight is going, but I will say that I had much better luck just booking my flight direct with the airline than I did with the various travel agencies. Best bet, check loads of places.

Never the airline, unless they have a special. otherwise get in contact with Korean travel agents, look in the travel forum under travel agents for the details

See, that's funny, because the airline I booked with was cheaper than any of the online travel sites (Expedia, etc) and also much cheaper than any of the Korean travel agents I called. And no, it was not a special promotion, just the standard price. Like I said before, just check everywhere.

I checked with expedia this morning for travel dates of Dec 23 thru Jan 8 and got a price of $1675.75 for round trip air Seoul to Phoenix.
Do you think that this could be cheaper elsewhere or is this pretty much what I would expect to pay?
