Guess what everybody? At 9pm tonight, I will be boarding a flight to Seoul, South Korea! I have been thinking of visiting Seoul for a week but the final decision to go was only made on Wednesday when I found affordable flight tickets.

I am really excited about this trip because for the past month, I have been helping my boyfriend to book flight tickets to all sorts of places including Indiana (USA), Samara (Russia) and Osaka (Japan). Yep, I got the exciting job of searching for the lowest fares online while he gets to travel. *grumble, grumble, grumble*

I thought I’ll share with you how I’ve been getting the best flight deals possible. Although the most popular sites to search are Kayak.com, Expedia.com and Travelocity.com, I have never found a good deal on any of these megasites. May be it is because their promotional rates are only for flights that depart from US destinations.

For flights that depart from Asian destinations, WeGo.com is a good place to start since it searches multiple Asian-based travel sites…

It will return for you the results sorted by fare price. However, don’t book the cheapest flight that’s shown here yet! The purpose of searching at WeGo is to find out what fare prices to expect. After that, work harder to search through each of the sites on your own to get even better fares.

For the flight to Seoul, the cheapest fare that was returned at WeGo is US$621.00. This is already a good deal because if you had searched any of the mega sites mentioned earlier, the cheapest you can get is above US$800.

After searching these multiple travel sites on my own, I found flights at AsiaTravel.com for US$500 including all fees and taxes. What a bargain!

So if you are planning to travel at the end of this year and haven’t booked your flights yet, remember to do what I do - search harder, search deeper and start at WeGo!
