You are right about ticket prices at this time of the year Bob. Looking ahead a few months ( wishful thinking towards visit 13 ) I checked out ticket prices over the past couple of weeks. As a visitor I always buy round trip. Over the course of the past decade the airline I have found best for me has been Korean Air. I normally pay around $1200 round trip in October and November. The price right now for the same flight, same seating ( coach ) etc. is around $4000 ! WoW, talk about sticker shock.
Another airline I have used before at this time is charging around $2000 round trip.
Obviously this is tourist season LOL.
At the moment Philippine Airlines had the most reasonable price for round trip New York – Manila – New York about $1100 there is a stop over in Vancouver.
I am glad I am able to travel in the ” off Season ” .

Hi Bob -Indeed, the timing of your travel can make a huge difference! In addition to considering the season of your travel, it is also wise to shift a few days and check ticket prices day by day. I have often found that if I check the exact day I want to travel the price might be very high, but just 1 to 3 days later might be half the cost! It is amazing. So, check a week or so worth of days to find the very best price, if you can!
Thanks for your comment, Bob.

If the ticket is such as problem how is the visa status. A big overstay fine is not going to help.

I don’t feel a need to read something into it that he did not say. He didn’t mention anything about overstaying. Perhaps he’s on a 13 a Visa? Or some other type of longer-term pizza. I answered the question that he asked. I didn’t feel the need to speculate about other possible problems.
