Gray Wolf it seems a little longer but its well worth the time  -don't forget when you can't sleep go to the back and drink all the Korean beers you want I did

The back of the plane?  Free beer?  All I want??   :o 8) 8) 8)

What did you have to pay?  We're looking at ticket prices right now and I'd like to compare.

Well, I hope my travel agent comes through then because she quoted us about $1300 through Korean Air.  When we get confirmation, which should be next week, I'll give an update on the price.  We're just waiting for their next block of tickets.  We're shooting for a late November wheels-up with a return leg the first week of January.  If everything goes well, I'll be celebrating Christmas with the family! 
WooHoo!   :D :) :)

I understand.  We've been searching and asking about tickets, but must wait until our consolidator gets her next contract and block of tickets before we can confirm the price.  But she said she believed the price would stick.  Now after December 1st the prices go way up due to the holiday travel season, so we made sure to ask for a flight before Thanksgiving.

If anyone else is looking for tickets contact May and tell her that Jack and Gloria Bishop referred you.  She's a very nice young lady!

Gray Wolf, just wanted to say thank you for the contact at Skybird (May).  My wife and I are retiring and moving to the PIs.  She will be going the 21st of July with our niece and two dogs.  We had been having a lot of trouble finding a "good" ticket price at that time plus we kept running into travel agents that figured selling a ticket was all they needed to do.

I gave my wife May's contact information and she got in touch.  My wife wanted me to tell everyone that the service and attention she got was outstanding.  A pleasant, helpful agent, not to mention a good price plus May went the extra mile and called the airline for pet reservations.

When I finally get to go around the first part of September, you can count on me giving May a call .

You are most welcome, bro!  Yes, May is very pleasant and very helpful.  She is always willing to go the extra mile.

I'm very pleased to hear that you were happy with her service!
