ok, I agree flights leaving from Seoul are more expensive than others. As a result my girlfriend and I have changed our plans a little, here is our plan. My girlfriend is Japanese so we'll go and visit her family for a few days or so in Tokyo (NRT) with NorthWest for $300USD then on the 4th we'll leave there for Dubai (DXB) with Malaysia for $700. This meets my goal of being in Dubai for the 8th, but I'd like to be there for the 2nd. Do you have any ideas on how to get to Dubai for an earlier date than the 5th?

Thanks,

Kyle.
