LLC in Korea
Hello
I am in Korea for a while and I am looking for cheap flights to visit different places in Asia.
Can you recommend some LCCs which fly to Taiwan, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Shanghai and so on?
I am aware of:
http://www.eastarjet.com/
http://www.airbusan.com
http://www.jejuair.net/
http://www.jinair.com
http://www.twayair.com/
Who can add another one? Is there any good search engine for LCC and this region?
Thank you for your help.

Jin Air are KE's LCC, they fly to a few spots the others dont
Air Busan are starting to expand, and have last minute fares that can be quite reasonable to Japan, and sometimes TPE, but only out of PUS. When you add the GMP-PUS tag, it always increases the cost to unreasonable amounts.
AirAsia X fly to KUL
Cebu Pacific to the Philippines
Zest Air to the Philippines
Soon, Peach and Skymark will fly to Japan
Sadly though, Korea is not the best place in Asia to be based if you want cheap flights. Generally the cheapest flights are to Japan and eastern China (with MU and CZ being the cheapest). Don't expect rockbottom fares that you'll find out of BKK or SIN. Its hard to get out to Japan and China for less than 300$, 400-600$ to other parts of Asia.
