The afternoon departure from Manila which arrives early evening in South Korea is actually time to connect to evening DL flights at the same time compete with PR126 using KE085.

I booked my tickets way early last year and DL always had those ugly-timed KE-KE flights way cheaper than its own flights.

I just checked now and it seems DL's pricing is somewhat cheaper on the DL-KE combo as opposed to the KE-KE flights. But overall still way overpriced. I've transferred all my transpacific business to UA and NH.
