Haggling is common in Asia. Depending on the product you can even go down to 20%. In touristy areas, many if not most prices are hyper inflated. Although personally, for a commercially available product, this would tingle my spidey-senses... And I don't fly anywhere near the amount most of you do. 10% or maybe 20% off, but not 50% for a plane ticket in J... but then again, I would also have done enough research against multiple airlines/flights to know if the price is too far off the mark.
