  50. tingy says:

    Hi, just wondering where can I get the cheapest ticket from Tokyo to Seoul? Thinking of going in Aug or Sept but since it is a summer holiday in Aug, don’t think I can get the tics any cheaper.

    Thanks!

    • Bittenbefore says:

      sorry i have no idea. to be honest, i dont do a lot of research when i buy my tickets..i generally just fly with whomever i have frequent flyer miles with. try expedia?
