RGN-XXX will ticket cheaply one-way

XXX-RGN will not ticket cheaply one way.

If you want a return, then you must book it as such.

Thanks, was able to price one out. And currently only J is still up for grabs? (can't seem to find F)

ETA: Found F over the pacific on UA and on TG to TYO. Price "jumps" to circa $1500

I just rebooked on travelocity. Not as good as the BT one. Will never use that site again. If they ticketed immediately I had a nica BA-flight! Or at least I could try to book it elsewehere!

I now made a connection to my CSA- BKK ticket that is still not cancelled. You never know :-)

HA $699 roundtrip C/F fare between ICN-West Coast was honored by HA, including segments code shared with KE.

I would not even think about visa or making other arraignments to RGN until all the dirt has settled.

I just re-checked and although the ticket still shows as issued on Vayama.com and checkmytrip.com, the pending charge from Korean has disappeared. Smells like they've cancelled the ticket but remains to be seen.
If it makes you feel better, I booked two trips, one on an AMEX card and one on a Chase Sapphire VISA. The Korean authorization is not there on the AMEX but it still is under pending on my Chase account. I'm thinking the one thing that may keep these from being canceled is that it's really not a mistake fare. It's just a 99.2% devaluation of the Burmese Kyat against the dollar since these fares were filed.

that is indeed puzzling when there are a few people who booked their tickets later and have already gotten it ticketed.

So how long exactly have these fares been around?

Anyway, I see a SQ charge penidng now on my Sapphire card, which doesn't make me happy--I thought when I purchased on Travevlocity I'd be getting DL metal again, but I chose the SQ flight from SIN-LHR rather than the Virgin Australia flight operated by SQ (it was $100 more). I guess that made the difference

Not expecting it to ticket...

Agreed. Oddly enough, I have no UA metal whatsoever - only SQ and DL. Yet, the authorization on my Amex is for UA.

I just checked oanda and it went from 6 to 1 (Myanmar to US) to 830 to 1...

Like a previous poster stated, the juntas are encouraging tourism!

So according to your math the $260 one-way first class ticket I booked on KE was filed as a $520 fare before the devaluation?

Makes no sense.

To those that booked on KE stock, were you able to get a s/o in ICN?
