Hi all! Im starting a teaching job at the start of September and need some help fast finding a cheap flight!! Im looking for cheap flights to seoul korea. My recuiter told me to try Lufthansa airways but the flights are 4000 EURO! My school say they will refund it when I arrive. There must be cheaper than this cause I cant afford this. Any help or info would be helpful!

Try airline networks or lastminute.com?

I've just searched and it seems that if you want cheap flights, you are going to have to fly to London? Where in Ireland are you talking about? Belfast? Dublin? That might change things, too.

It might just be easier to get an easyjet flight to London, then fly from Heathrow.

Could be worth getting an easyjet or cheap flight over to Amsterdam or Istambul- I just got a one way for 550 euro out of Amsterdam with Turkish Airways, and this was last minute for next week.

Lots of the big companies don't have reasonable one-way flights, if that's the problem. I could book returns for around 800 at KLM, but the same flight one-way was 4000 as well !

ok thanks. my travel agent syas he can get me a one way for 600 but says there could be a problem if my visa isnt aproved in time....

I usually fly to Korea from Ireland via Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Paris depending on price variations. I have never paid more than 800 Euros return.

Are you trying to get an open return?

I am also pretty confident that no school will refund a flight fare of EUR4000.
