hl0m4n · 07-11-2008, 08:37 AM

5/21 NY-Korea
5/22 Korea-Thai
7/2 Thai-Korea
8/18 Korea-NY

Total W/ Tax, Etc: $1,900

im in korea right now but want to go back to thai. on travelocity and orbitz, etc the cheapest fligh is $700 round trip from thai airways. now i can change my departure date on the 8/18 but is there an easier way i can adjust the flights so i can get a cheap price and stay within my airline?

if i get the $700 round that means i have to go to thai come back to korea and catch my flight on the 18th. now is there a way i can go to thai and leave from there to NY directly with just paying a small difference or something?

i have no idea what the best solution is.

all the flights are made w/ korean air (i am a skypass member as well). so basically my question is what are my options? i know i should call the korean air but the phone charges here are ridiculous and i don't want to burden my aunt with the bill. i need a solution fast guys so all the help is much appreciated.

They don't have any KAL offices in Korea?

Check the phone book or search online. Or go to the airport.

Look for a local KAL office.

Walk to a travel agent.

Did you try the KAL website? Live chat online with a KAL rep?
