I'm heading over to Japan for the weekend, having purchased my ticket directly online from Asiana Airlines. They screwed me earlier this year when I thought I'd purchased a ticket online to Phuket, Thailand. I'd even printed out supposed "boarding passes". But when I got to the airport I was informed that I hadn't paid for my ticket and that my reservation had been cancelled. But hey, there was still room on the plane and I could go--just so long as I would oblige to grab my ankles and let Asiana have their way with me to the tune of a few hundred extra dollars. I had no choice!
After that incident it was of little surprise when booking this ticket to Japan that Asiana popped the question about with whom I like sex (see the photo). Choices? Men or women. Sorry bisexual folks.
UPDATE: All flights out of Korea are now subject to the inane requirement that all liquids in carry-on luggage be in containers no larger than 100ml and all placed together in a separate clear plastic bag. What's to stop someone from concealing larger amounts of liquid on their person?
UPDATE 2: Same crazy liquid rules apply to all flights leaving Japan. A note about the Duty Free shopping in Fukuoka, unless you're looking to buy a bottle of whiskey, scotch, or sake then you're going to be very disappointed. Fukuoka's airport has the worst liquor selection I've ever seen. I should have bought a bottle to bring back at a supermarket downtown, because even there the prices are half of what they ask in Korea.
Expedia took my booking for a flight to Thailand, then a week later I realised they hadn't taken the money, I called up and the flight had been canceled.
Maybe I hadn't ticked the "Inform me if my whole holiday plans are ruined" box? Sometimes these things are hard to see on the form.
I hope Asiana was a gentle lover.
