I'm half wondering if this is a mistake fare, because the price is incredible, even with a layover on full service airlines. I've flown both and they're fantastic!
Alliance: OneWorld
Airlines: Japan Airlines or Malaysia Airlines
MEL to Seoul (ICN)
Oct and Nov
I believe it's a website error.
When I click on the price and select time, it brings me to skyscanner.
Nothing is below $600
Same for me…
blast. Was working for me when I posted it (clicking through to skyscanner still had the prices at $236/239). Agree seems to have gone now.
One recent event.
Short memories are the problem.
The problem that you referred to in your original question?
It seems unfair when people hold those events against Malaysian Airlines…they're tragic no doubt, but we still have NO idea what happened with one and the other was shot down by Russian militants who mistook it for a military jet. That could have been any airline and the plane didn't go down due to any fault of Malaysian Airlines
No disagree - they travelled through air space that all other reputable airlines avoided for safety reasons. There were specific directives to avoid it due to potential for violent conflict. But Malaysian did it to save fuel costs, passenger safety be damned. There is no excuse (for malaysian airlines nor Russian backed militia). Sure the malaysian staff are nice but I'd rather management that considers safety above all else. And discounting a flight that disappeared as inconsequential is nutty thinking IMHO…
Fortunately in 2015 MAS reorganised, changed its CEO and was delisted from the Malaysian stock exchange so the Govt could take control and reorganise…which happened.
If they did nothing fair enough…you should move on from MAS bashing.
Lol. Are you kidding mate. What report have you been reading. Many airlines have been flying through that airspace until shit went down. They used Buk 9M38 surface-to-air missile which has a range of upto 46,000 ft. Read some legit investigation report and not some “hear say fake”. As @jayjosepheltics said above, it was a pure misunderstanding.
That's just blatantly untrue. I specifically remember at the time seeing a flight tracking website with a before and after of Ukraine airspace going from covered in jets to literally 0 across the whole country.

Hope you hold Singapore, Etihad, Emirates, Thai & Virgin to the same standard.
@mrkite54: I was responding to wolfshooter, saying that Ukraine had planes all through its airspace before the MH17 incident.
All good and in the end it's a matter of choice. I won't fly malaysian but happy to know it has widespread support.
OMG
Come back bby
Any last minute ticket from SYD to Seoul?
Ahh yes, love me a Korea trip during SWOTVAC, who needs to study anyway ;)
