Blog Post #8
This weekend, Dmitri, Ashley and I had a plan in the works to go to Shanghai via air travel. But then, Ashley and I found a flight to Seoul online for $330 for the weekend of July 1, which isn’t too bad of a deal. So we decided we would skip Shanghai and opt for Seoul, since I couldn’t afford both. So, I’m fairly certain Dmitri went to Shanghai this weekend. He is very resourceful and can take care of himself though, so nobody should worry about his safety.
When Ashley and I took a closer look at this flight to Seoul, found on Kayak.com I might add (not some sketchy website or anything), it turns out that Air China lies to Kayak when they post the flights. When re-directed to the Air China website to confirm the flight, it turns out it is actually $550. China Southern does this as well. Also, when working with Expedia, we found that the expensive flights would work fine, but when trying to book the cheapest flight, we would always get an error message. Curious. Well, scratch that plan for now. I would really like to go to Seoul, though, so hopefully we can make it happen.
This weekend we are scheduled to take a field trip to 798, which is the art district in Beijing, and supposedly very ‘hip.’ (according to my 60+ year old boss) we’ll see if he is correct!
