Is Seoul the only stopover point?
Taipei is also an option.
i booked the same flight for 531.20 last month but now its 506. i noticed that the flight prices of $172 stayed the same but the Delta (YR) surcharge dropped $25. How does delta bill this charge?
@John – YR is the fuel surcharge (but it actually has no correlation to fuel). Trying to understand the question on how Delta bill the charge? What do you mean?
Don’t suppose anyone is still having any luck with this are they?
@Chris – these look gone.
