[Research] Airlines and Travel Sites

So, obviously, I'm the kind of person who does A LOT of research before trips and such. Because of that, I'm already researching how much it's going to cost for plane tickets, kind of luggage who be best to buy, baggage allowances, and what type of stuff that you should definitely take to Seoul. Trust me when I say I've watched a lot of YouTube videos. lol

There are two good student discount travel sites that you should check out when you're deciding your flight abroad. STAtravel.com and StudentUniverse.com

These two websites are like other travel websites, but they discount the flights for students. STA Travel is my preference as they have "Exclusive Deals", that discount the flights even more. However, they don't tell you the airline that has the itinerary for the price until you book the tickets. For example, when I first checked the site, they had an "Exclusive Deal" for a 14h 50m one-way flight from DFW to ICN for $808.20. American Airlines had that exact flight for $1001.20.

For myself, it would be cheaper if I drove to Dallas, Texas to take my flight from DFW. However, since I don't really want to do that, I'm going to bite the bullet and pay to fly from Wichita's ICT. I also chose to go with American Airlines so that I won't have to change carriers and their baggage allowance for international flights is quite reasonable. 

American Airlines's baggage allowance for a flight from the United States to South Korea is as follows:
One Personal Item: (purse, laptop bag, backpack, etc.) 36 in/ 91 cm
One Carry-On Bag: 45 in/ 56 cm and it must be within these dimensions:
length: 22 in/56 cm; width: 14 in/36cm; height: 9 in/23 cm
Two Checked Bags: 62 in/158 cm; 50 lbs/23 kgs

Because Fall 2014 is so far away, it's hard to research how much a round-trip flight will accurately cost. However, I decided to research how much it will cost for a one-way flight until it's possible. For a one-way flight from ICT to ICN, it costs $1004.20 through American Airlines. I think I may just do a one-way flight anyways because I don't really know when the Spring semester ends and dorm move-out date is. Also, I'm not planning to visit home during the winter break and just stay in Seoul.

  1. For the cheapest airfare, Delta Airlines is the best choice. It is the second-largest airline and is among the top airlines of the United States from the point of the schedule passengers it carries as well as revenue passenger-kilometers flown, and the size of its fleet. Delta Airlines headquarters are located at Atlanta, Georgia. Before we learn the secrets of booking a delta flight ticket, take a look at the main reasons that many people choose to travel with this company.
