I responded in the other Korea DO thread, but in order to consolidate things...

It's a definite possibility. It will depend on how tight things are at work. The nice thing is that +1 has a client in Seoul, so she can visit her client and we can write it off as a business trip.

OK , please put me in as a tentatve.....might be arriving 28th and leaving 01 and clueless where to stay...travelling solo to a new city and woud prefer to hook up with ICN Do central hotel before I make other Do plan changes...

Also, getting from ICN into chosen hotels....taxis, buses, tuktuks????

If there is real interest in doing this do I would appreciate the commitment asap....I cannot do Yododoee and Korea Doo that close together and would opt for the Korea Doo if I see a good plan.....SweetWilly, CaWhite, Ws8n, Tom911 and all of you already working on this list, what do you thinlK???
Keep in touch.

xodede

very good^

Rats! That's what I get for sticking with US. No SQ availability from US except in Y. I am defecting starting next week so I will be a General member on UA :(

Anyway, I did manage to book some seats (27 SEP-01 OCT 2007) through US (mix of UA, NH, and OZ) but apparently, I need to wait 24 hours to confirm if the seats are really there. After that, US will issue a paper ticket. I think it is safe to say (crossing fingers and toes) that I could be listed as a "tentative" for this event. Should I book the Westin Chosun, Sheraton Grande, or W? They are all pricing in the same range anyway.

Put me down as interested.

AusTXHiker was going through previous threads and it seems like the Westin location is preferred over the W and Sheraton at Walker Hill. As for prices, the Sheraton seems to be at least 25% cheaper than the W or Westin.

FWIW, I pm'd bseller and we both have reservations at Westin Chosun.

KAL limousine bus is way to go. It's cost 13,000 won (~$14 US) each way; you get nice (domestic F style) seats and help with your luggages.

Both Sheraton and W are located at eastern edge of the city and won't be easy to get to/from using subway...

OOH, sounds good....
Keeping my options open here.....will think it over the next week while at the TLS Do....

Confirmed
 

I just got off the phone with US. They have put me on the queue for ticketing. They told me the tickets should be printed (yes, it will be paper) tomorrow. Once I have a ticket no., I can call UA, NH, and OZ to select seats.

So, I guess I am confirmed now. I will book my hotel room tomorrow. Time for me to go to bed!

Just a note: make sure the driver sees you put your money into the machine. On our last trip to Seoul, the driver wasn't watching and tried to make me pay a second time. Luckily, another passenger vouched for me.

This is the weekend after ZRH, which I'm going to. Unfortunately I can't do both in such a short time interval. Sorry I am out.

That's too bad. It would have been good to see you again. Oh well, you never know. I might just slip into ZRH the weekend before (but not officially part of the FT festivities).

Thanks for the PM Sweet Willie and apologies for such a delayed response.

I very much doubt that I shall be able to make the Do. However, I shall keep it in mind and if plans change and it becomes possible, then I'll let you know.

Is this new? Was it on KAL limousine bus? The KAL limousine bus driver will tear your ticket and will give you the receipt portion. There are other airport buses besides KAL limousine buses but KAL buses only serves hotels.
