Is there a website like Orbitz where you can compare different airline prices and buy them online? Only other way I see to do this is to work through a travel agent, and they can be kind of pushy. |

I have not been able to get Orbitz to originate from Korea. Anyone else? |

Try these two:
http://www.whypaymore.co.kr/
http://www.gonow.co.kr/
You'll need to be able to read Korean or get a Korean colleage to read it for you but you won't find better prices for flights originating from Korea on other websites such as Orbitz, etc. |

orbitz is hilarious they will get me flights for Japan to Hawaii that originate in Japan, and guess what - they go from Tokyo to Seoul then Honolulu. |

I don't know how much tax and stuff is involved, but the prices through expedia (which include all taxes and fees) for Incheon to Narita start at 557$ (Northwest Air) and then 561$ (Korean Air) - then Japan Air and All Nippon for 675$. I randomly chose the dates Sept. 1st to 3rd. |

Those prices are all ripoffs. You should be able to buy an Incheon-Tokyo ticket for about 300,000 to 400,000 won depending on day of departure. |

www.onlinetour.co.kr usually has cheap fares. I've used them before, but the site is in Korean.
Ana is offering fares for 318,000 won. |
