    What could possibly go wrong when taking advantage of a North Korean pricing error… :)

      Dunno how they get a rating really. They have 10 aircraft (all Russian, thanks to US and EU sanctions). There should be a minimum 20 in a fleet before they can be rated.

      NK should really take to heart a very recent talk, at TED.com, on which countries do the most good, & how it can really help their economy grow, ie, having a reputation in the world for not doing silly stuff.

    To enter North Korea you will need to be apart of an arranged tour package

    If you are apart from your arranged tour package, you will most likely be detained by the North Korea Government and charged with espionage.

  • GnarlyKnuckles on 04/07/2014 - 03:59

    "Price error fares" my arse… what you have here is 'replacement citizen recruitment', KJ(x) style…

    Is there any process to obtain their visa?
    Or just on arrival at the airport

    • INFIDEL on 04/07/2014 - 08:56

      Love to see you try that. You need to book tour first, usually with airfare arranged. So this is pretty pointless deal.
      Plus you first need a Visa for China. Had Chinese officials at Consulate in Brisbane shout at me & border officials threaten me.
      Don't forget to take a nice big camera so you get shouted at. Have fun ;-)

      • Dr Techno on 04/07/2014 - 09:49

        I think you will be donating that nice big camera to the dear leader >_<

      • ryu on 04/07/2014 - 11:45

    • jeffr on 05/07/2014 - 17:55

      Hi North Korea used to have an embassy in Australia but I understand it is now closed.

      Last time I visited there, there was an option to arrive one day earlier in Beijing, arrange for Visa there and then fly out to Pyongyang the next day.

      I would expect that the tour company will assist in arranging visas.

      The other condition for my trip was that the tour had to be paid in CASH in Euros or USD in Pyongyang. You will need to check the conditions of the tour.

      Another important point about traveling to DRPK is that sometimes the tours to certain locations are cancelled without notice. I was supposed to see Arirang and after I booked it was cancelled.
