I am puzzled by the conditions for date change on the deal to CDG. Could anyone explain if there is a penalty or not?

There are new fares in I class being offered at the moment through summer ex ICN. They are currently through the CX office, rather than online. Not quite as good as the fares until 30JUN, but for summer not too bad.
LAX/SFO --- KRW3348000 plus taxes Approx 2540USD
NYC --- KRW4278000 PLUS taxes Approx 3250USD
EUR (cx operating ports) -------- krw3255000 plus taxes Approx 2470USD
The BKK and SIN fare of 850000-950000krw is on through summer too.
For what is worth, the AY fare to Europe for summer, if booked by the end of April, in I class is about 2000USD, with the higher fuel surcharge. I am not sure if I should take the AY flight, and save about 300USD per person (the difference to FCO on the dates I want, inclusive) or pay to take CX- any thoughts?
I will keep people informed if I hear of any other cheap flights ex ICN

Well... I bought one of these fares (the summer I class deals) last night ^
Any suggestions how to get to ICN cheaply? I can leave from either PVG or HKG.
Roundtrip (using Ctrip) PVG-ICN is around USD300, and HKG-ICN is coming up around USD400 (for 30 day tickets).
Are these about right?

I'm currently looking for a milege run in I class end of May - SE Asia would be good. Otherwise I'll do an immediate turnaround and fly back to Australia on one of the I class specials...
Have been pricing out flights recently but it all comes back J class. I understand BKK and SIN on offer between 850k and 950k but only though CX iffice in Seoul? I need to call direct?

I'm trying to book ICN-AKL biz class fare -- according to the little summary page, only fares to AUSTR and EUROPE require 21 day adv. Any idea if this is just a typo? Tried to book, but online booking tool is trying to force 21 day AP. Tried calling SEL CTO, but no one picks up.
