Were the flights codeshared and issued by 1 carrier? I thought cabotage only applies when a single carrier tries to transport pax between two points within a foreign country. If you had flown into S. Korea on SQ, why can't KE fly you else where from S. Korea? How would KE, or any carrier for that matter, know how or when you got to S. Korea?
