Are there any good websites out there? The cheapest flight I could find was on Emirates.com but the passenger must be the credit card holder. My boss is paying with his card.

Or would you recommend a travel agent? I live in Gumi but I'm sure I could book flights with them over the phone.

Try Lufthansa and change in Frankfurt.

I flew to London two years ago with Korean Air. I can't remember how much it was but it was the cheapest at the time. I was flying on to Dublin so it was fab to be so close and have such a short flight at the end of the loooooooong flight. You could try them although they haven't been as cheap since; I always end up going via Frankfurt or Amsterdam.

You know what?

Get a cheap return ticket to Hong kong, then go here:

www.oasishongkong.com and get yourself a ticket to Gatwick!! They have fares as low as 100 quid (+tax and one way) to London!!! It's amazing!

We will be going to HK anyway in the summer and we will be getting our tickets from HK to the UK to go home for a visit (we have families in both places).

Yeehaaa!

99 pounds each way. Wow. How much is tax?

I hear that Kayak.com is the way to go these days. Expedia, schmexpedia.

p.s. Emirates is the greatest economy ticket I've ever flown, hands down. The food was restaurant quality and the entertainment systems were top-notch. If you can pay for it yourself and have your boss refund, DO IT.

We were planning a trip to London this summer. Here is our current plan:

Fly through Austria Airlines and open the ticket in Vienna, and then fly on to London. On the way home, don't get off the plane in Vienna. Any comments?

www.kises.co.kr

this agent is normally for students but they do have offers for adults as well...
for example, i searched flight from inchon to london on the 1st of feb
(the prices won't that be different till the end of march)
900,000 won for asiana (1month opened)
640,000 won for jal(1 month opened)
850,000 won for kal(2 months opened)
660,000 won for ba(3 months opened)

i'm not sure if you can pay with your boss's card
anyway as far as i know, kises offered cheaper ticket than any major travel agencies last time i flew to london

*for asiana, kal and ba you can't save your mileage on this offer and save 70% for jal

I have flown Singapore, Emirates and Thai, and they are all good. But my preference would be Singapore. For some reason, they always seem to be cheapest when u book through their own website. I never seem to find low prices from them with any travel agents or online.

My mom is flying Aeroflot when she is coming here. Cheapest option. Good flights, but apparently the airport in Moscow is terrible. Check them too.

Thanks a million, I'm going to check the options and see which one is best.
