that airfares are so much higher when you want to stay in a place for more than a month?

I am looking to go to Hong Kong next Jan for a couple of months and it's twice the cost for a ticket that is only valid for 15 days.

I am going to wait until late December to get my ticket.

Tzechuk,

I feel your pain but have no idea why it is so.... Crying or Very sad

Yes, it's a real pain. My ticket to Bangkok was a touch over a million. I could have got something for less than a month for about 400,000 easily.

Same here.. paid for one-year open to Manila for 711,000.. but for 15 days would have been around 440,000..

Couldn't buy the second single this far in advance since they don't know the February prices yet.

I flew to Thailand on a one-way ticket. NO problems with the airline or immigration or anything. I assume it would be cheaper to buy another one-way ticket back to Korea from this end, rather than from the Korean end.

Besides, as is well-noted by now, Korean travel agents are awful and best avoided when possible.
