Yes, I explicitly asked that this is what they meant.... and it was a firm yes and then the confirmation email came..... I said to the girl ( Expedia, she was in Cairo office ) that I am sure Expedia would backflip when they realised the normal fare would be c $4k.... It was part of the reason I declined the offer, I cannot handle another incident of being stuffed around by KQ and then dealing with ot for 90 minutes on the phone with Expedia. I'll stay in Japan and South Korea without all the nonsense
