    hey guys
    ive been checking expedia.ie, clubtravel.ie, skyscanner, cheapflights.ie and a few various airlines directly for flights and was wondering if anyone has had any experiences getting good deals

    there was one for 650 on expedia last week but now pretty much all flights are closer to 1000 for the times that i want to go, im checking all the time but not sure if they will go up or down or how these sites work

    anyone got any advice or tips or even links to sites with good deals?

    a grand is a bit much, wud rather pay around 750 if possible

    its return to seoul in august at some point, dates are pretty flexible

    Have you tried checking flights from London and France?I flew via France a few years ago and found it cheaper than from Ireland

    Flew Dublin - Heathrow, Heathrow - Seoul with Korean Airlines in August 2010 - booked directly with Korean, they were the cheapest I could find at the time

    The cheapest fare seems to be Emirates, but this is more than €650.

    Op use the .com versions of the sites rather than .ie. Ive always found better deals that way. However August is vacation month in Korea so expect flights to be more expensive anyway at this time of year!

    Only if you don't know any better. Several better hubs in Europe: Paris, Amsterdam or Frankfurt are all far superior in terms of ease of connection and (in general) cost too.

    Don't forget with Etihad and Emirates operating out of Dublin, you can connect in Abu Dhabi or Dubai instead, cutting out one flight each way.
