ICN-DXB help please!
OK I have vacation from 30th of December until January 11th inclusive. But I cannot find a decent discount from ICN (Korea) to DXB (Dubai). Can anyone help? I want to travel with my girlfriend to my friend's wedding in Dubai on the 8th, but I cannot find anything under $1000 USD per ticket. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Kyle.
I could use the 75% discount for second travellers in business class from Bangkok to Dubai with Thai Airway because I have an American Express card. That price is 1,798.04 USD. But I don't know how to get to Bangkok from Korea at a decent price point.

The Gulf Air suggestion is good if price is the main consideration, as they are one of the main suppliers of discounted biz tickets on the Europe-Asia market.
If you have a Korean speaking friend, check local travel agent sites such as www.tourbaksa.co.kr (I've had good luck with them in the past)
P.S. If you are not based in Korea, purchase an USA-ICN-BKK ticket on KE, which has very attractive rates and allows for stopovers in Korea.

ok, I agree flights leaving from Seoul are more expensive than others. As a result my girlfriend and I have changed our plans a little, here is our plan. My girlfriend is Japanese so we'll go and visit her family for a few days or so in Tokyo (NRT) with NorthWest for $300USD then on the 4th we'll leave there for Dubai (DXB) with Malaysia for $700. This meets my goal of being in Dubai for the 8th, but I'd like to be there for the 2nd. Do you have any ideas on how to get to Dubai for an earlier date than the 5th?
Thanks,
Kyle.

Keep in mind that this is a busy time of year in DXB so make sure to not put your tickets off too much longer if you haven't purchased them yet. I too will be in DXB from the 3rd to the 6th so if you end up in town during that time let me know.
