Flying out of Korea

My contract is up in August and I'm planning on traveling all throughout Southeast Asia. I was planning on buying a ticket sometime soon to Hanoi. But I guess, I'm just looking to the cheapest ticket I can get to the area. I've only looked at Jin Air and Korean Air and they seem to be around $500-$600 for a one way. 

Seems like a normal price to me? But what do you think? Is there are cheaper city to fly into?

All those are budget airlines that have hubs in Korea, in which you can fly pretty cheap to parts of southeast asia.

Google, is a wonderful thing.

are you looking online for tickets? always the cheapest place to look. interpark and gmarket are best i think.

Re: Flying out of Korea

exactly what Paul and Eatron said. Although I find places like Interpark often advertise tickets, but they aren't available. Last year when I booked my ticket to Bangkok I ended up using expedia and it worked out exactly the same as the price adverstised in Korea.

btw I flew China Eastern, which flies from Busan to Bangkok via Shanghai. I had a 10 hour layover in Shanghai, which was cool, because you can leave the airport and hang out in Shanghai for several hours without need for a visa.

Re: Flying out of Korea

it is important to remember that much of the developing world, in particular small island states rely on tourism for a significant contribution to their economies. Small island states often have few natural resources and their traditional sectors such as sugarcane and bananas are all but dead. How do these fragile economies survive if the one sector that provides income to them is decimated if people stop flying to them? A sharp decline in arrivals to these nations would simply devastate their economies and throw more people into poverty. It izrada web stranica
