Hello everyone,

I'm planning on going to Seoul around the the end of Sept (the week of 21st) and departing no later than the 4th of October, and I can leave from YOW, YUL, or YYZ. So far the best deal I've come across was with NWA for 1284 (tx incl.) and I thought I'd reach out to my fellow RFD'ers with the hope someone might be privy to a fare that might've missed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Air Canada is having a special describe here (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=757879), where you can save 20% on flights to Asia using a promo code. It expires today.


However when I try it, I'm get much smaller savings, although still some savings. For example YYZ-ICN, Sept. 21 - Oct. 7 has a normal price of $1284. With the promo code it's down to $1208.


So, I'm not sure why you the savings aren't close to 20%, but it something. Maybe you can try to phone AC and see if there is a reason you can't get the larger savings.

I tried it with the promo code but i didnt really do much like you were saying, but I've been looking around and I found a fare out of YUL for the same dates for 1168 (tx incl) flying with AC on itravel200, but it almost 3 hundred dollars more expensive on the AC website than it is on itravel2000, how could that be? I always thought it was cheaper or atleast equivalent to the competitor websites when booking flight directly through the airlines website? and also do you know if they have a price match policy?, I know I'm reaching here :cheesygri
