I am flying Asiana Airlines and tried to purchase ticket thru their website but it kept fucking up. Something about a transaction code and my Debit card. It costs 100 dollars less thru the Asiana site but it was giving me issues and just wanted to buy it already.
Purchased thru Onetravel which I used before. I am familiar w/ Onetravel and can navigate the site.

I didn't wanna be on hold for 5 hours w/ asiana trying to find out why my card wasn't working.
It kinda reminded me of when i was buying Forte Insurance and the damn site wouldn't work w/ my card and had to use another card.

I land July 3rd!!! Can't wait. My friggin ticket cost $2,500 omg it pains me to even type this but it is what it is. Money comes and goes right?

these prices are obnoxious

I am aware of the advantages of using the airline as opposed to 3rd party sites but since the website was acting wonky..

Asiana have an office in Phnom Penh, they can assist you with this ordeal.

The price of airline fuel goes up in summer months.. every year before covid...and after.
Nothing new to pay more in the summer.
That idea to go to BKK is worth checking out.
Buy several months in advance. Do not go in summer.
A 2 hour layover can get dicey if your flight is late taking off. Toss in the size of many airports and getting to your connection..
Ugh..glad I am not going back to US 3 times a year anymore...
Waiting for the rainy season...kick back...save money...

Never learned about the concept of hedging? Airlines never pay the spot price.

Prices go up because many people have their (forced) holidays. Not because of fuel prices.

I never flew Asiana and had a question about checked baggAGE size. I never had issue when using Singapore Airlines but the luggage I have is a total size of 164 or something and Asiana lists the below as the requirement
(23kg, sum of three dimensions ~158cm)

Permitted dimensions- Asiana Airlines
Size (sum of three dimensions): Not exceeding A+B+C = 158cm(62 inch) (including handles and wheels)

Regardless of your class, the maximum size per bag is 158cm(62 inch).

Has Asiana ever measured the size of your luggage? are they that strict w/ this stuff? any experience?
I would rather not pay more or worse they won;'t let my luggage go thru

Sometimes it pays to have a long stopover. My last 3 flights have had a 13 hour stopover including the one I'm on now.
Bought a ticket from Australia to PP , Air Asia all the way with a 13 hour stopover, in KL, only to find I cannot transfer at KL, I have to disembark, go through immigration and customs, then check-in again and go through all that shit. That takes 2 hours and if your flight was late or you had bags to pick up it could take much longer. And no, your bags don't go all the way through even though you have one ticket Oz to PP.

About 10 years ago I had the experience of a delay flight on the same route with AA and nearly missed the connecting flight because of a 2 hour stopover.

On all my last 3 trips since covid I have had to disembark at my stopover, twice it was in Singapore, go through immigration and then re check in as I could not go through transfers. Never had that problem pre covid

It's no wonder that tourists numbers are up in each country, but how many are like me, only stay for 10 minutes and leave.

I wonder what that is all about?
Kuala Lumpur is hands down one of the worst airports in the world.

Where have you been booking your tickets from? Are you not getting all boarding passes at check-in? Doesn't make sense especially if you are flying with the same airline all the way

I fly regularly, with multiple transits and different airlines, and never have to go through that hassle because the flights are all made on the same booking, with codeshare/interline baggage agreement airlines. Have transited through KL twice to/from NZ in the past 6 months, Malaysia Airlines all the way, no issues.

Is that one way or round trip?
Either way you got ripped off my man.
Do you use an aggregator like Skyscanner?
I assume your going to the USA?
I just booked a one way flight to jfk in late May on JAL and it cost me all of $680.
You need to shop around methinks.
