Hi I am a first timer on this forum so maybe I am looking in the wrong places but I need to travel to Uk for 4/5 days in May to go to a wedding, which airline is the quickest/cheapest for return flights to London or Manchester or it it better to book through an agent?? I would really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks

Just depends who has the best price at the time. I've used Lufthansa and KLM before, and BA was cheaper one point because of the reduction in fares between the UK and Hong Kong. My parents used Emirates when they come over. You'll just have to see who's got the best deal for when you want to go.

Depends what airport you want... from Manchester you usually find Emirates or Lufthansa to be cheapest. For London there is some Russian arline that is really cheap, but the planes look like something Blue Peter knocked up for them.

I used www.kayak.co.uk to find the cheapest prices and it was pretty awesome.

whypaymore.co.kr takes a survey of what all hte travel agents are offering. If you can read Korean, look on the website. Otherwise just call that number on the side. They have an english speaker on duty.

If you are going to have to change flights anyway, you might want to consider taking a cheap flight out to Hong Kong, then use www.oasishongkong.com. One way to London is about 250K.

KLM are usually one of the cheapest I guess flying from Korea

(but if you were flying from the UK ,Emirates and Qatar Airlines from Manchester are dirt cheap .......you can get a 1 year open ticket from them for less than 400 quid flying from Manchester - Seoul return Shocked... ..might be worth checking them out from Seoul - Man)

Although cheap, Qatar are definately not the quickest.
I would go with KLM. I flew with them to Amsterdam and they were great.
