KoreanAir.com Pricing Differences

So, I noticed something the other day.

For vacations, I always just checked Kayak for flights and saw Korean was priced way over. Example: 570 All Incl. RT on China Southern to BKK. Korean Nonstop is 900-1,000 USD.

BUT, then I finally went to KoreanAir.com and selected Korea as my location (logically, as it's where I live).

If you search KoreanAir.com with America as your location, you get the same 900+ USD price.

The exact same ticket was 600 USD all inclusive round trip.

Why the difference? Fare glitch?

Try it out!

It has always been this way. I have been booking flights on KE.com for years to save on the "foreigner tax".
