Jumping on the crazy cheap airfare bandwagon, I noticed return flights to Seoul were pretty cheap as well, and doesn't look like it has been posted about yet.

Similar date period - travel Feb/March 2017.

Melbourne (MEL) to Seoul$269
Adelaide (ADL) to Seoul $276
Brisbane (BNE) to Seoul $277
Darwin (DRW) to Seoul $284
Sydney (SYD) to Seoul $285
Perth (PER) to Seoul $285

Here is a selected $269 return example.

Happy travels.

Edit: Looks like fares are slowly getting ozbargained. Example fare has gone up to the staggering price of $294 this morning. Just jump on the iwtf search engine to see if the flight you want is still available.

Edit2: Most dates are being reported as gone. Still worth trying your luck through other flight search engines or the airline direct.

          Definitely better than HK airport. There's nothing there aside from the normal shops..

          Singapore airport is like another attraction on its own xD

          Movie lounges, butterfly garden, gaming area, etc.

    Just went through expedia for Adelaide to Seoul in September and it wouldn't go through on the $298 price and came back as $335. Still great price.

    Your ticket price changed from AU$337.30 to AU$1,167.50. The airline could not confirm the original price due to pricing or availability changes that occurred after we posted the latest prices on our site. Continue booking or look for a different flight.

    Welp :(

    • eltito on 08/11/2016 - 12:42

      Did you already book? Or did you click on the I want that flight link and the price changed?

    IWTF shows them but none of them follow through…

  • fallentenshi on 08/11/2016 - 13:24

    I just tried to search for it. I can see it for $293 melb to seoul on Iwantthatflight. But when you click on booking with edreams and goes to their website, price changed to $1,094!!
    So that's false advertising.

    • Bellpop on 08/11/2016 - 13:26

      Same thing here w expedia

        I'm not surprised! There's no way Australia to Seoul cost under $300!! That's crazy especially it's a normal top airline and not your AirAsia flight.
        Usually it's around $700 - $800. AirAsia when on sale is cheaper.

        I've just tried click on Wotif. The page doesn't even exist!!

        I question if Iwantthatflight is even legitimate. Never used them before.

        • jeppetto367 on 08/11/2016 - 13:41

          Definitely works, got MEL-ICN for $320 (through STA) and MEL-PEK for $270 (through Expedia). All confirmed and checked on the Virgin Australia website.

        • piggiepanda on 08/11/2016 - 13:47

          Just like everyone who jumped on this early on i managed to get myself a cheap flight tix $296 from Sydney - Seoul for march.

          I think its just a matter of IWTF website not being able to keep up with the demands and probably hasnt have the time to update their own websites.
          I do agree with you that that is an issue as when i tried to book i was aiming for Singapore airline but was redirected to a Virgin airline instead. And just like you some websites (ex. Wotif) doesnt even display the price nor flights chosen.

          I would say that IWTF are legit as they can be. Its only a matter of how often they update their website in real life.

    • Evil-Elmo on 08/11/2016 - 13:36

      I'm pretty sure it's not still on… IWTF shows the cheap prices but once you click through it jumps up to a much higher amount.

    Have been before but these prices are crazy you can pretty much claim your airfare back with a big purchase and TRS.

    • 7hours 44min ago on 08/11/2016 - 16:13

      Fortunately, it’s believed Virgin Australia will honour the tickets of the lucky few who managed to book flights at the ridiculous prices.

      Key word being 'believed'. I expect they will too, but it doesn't seem certain…

    • gozleme on 08/11/2016 - 14:29

      The statement in that article sounds more like they wont honour them. But hopefully Fingers Crossed

    Do the flights include meals?

    If anyone has been to Seoul how expensive is it? I'm mainly talking about hotels, restaurants and taxis.

      I usually visit Seoul yearly.
      Street food - cheap. Restaurants- average priced meals. Taxis - cheap, but the subway is fast and efficient. Hotels - most people stay in the Myeongdong area and use that as their base.

        Have to watch out for taxis over there. Some are dodgy will take you for a ride to get more fares. I was there about 3 years ago, and I can't remember exactly but the tour guide told us which colour cab to trust more. Unfortunately when we caught our cab we were left with the not soo trust worthy ones and I can see the driver missing turns on purpose from his navigation system a number of times. The other two groups also caught same colour cab and came in later than us and paid more for their fare.

        Also our driver pretended that he wasn't sure where to take us when we gave him our hotel card. He wasted a lot of time pretending and trying to punch the address into his navigation system. Language is a barrier there as they don't speak English well.

        • HardQuiz on 08/11/2016 - 18:09
