As the airfare from Canada to Korea is expected to rise again, the worries of Koreans deepen.<\/p>\n
However, travel agencies and airlines are blaming each other for the reason for the increase, raising questions.<\/p>\n
A travel agency in Toronto announced on the 29th, “The airfare will increase by about $100 from the 29th,” and “If you need to purchase a ticket, please contact us.”<\/p>\n
As a result of Dong-A Ilbo’s contact with several Korean travel agencies, the airfare hike was accepted as a fait accompli.<\/p>\n
Travel agency B said, “The date is not certain, but soon Air Canada’s round-trip airfare will rise by more than $100. Korean Air’s airfare will continue to rise.” I can’t,” he replied.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, an Air Canada official said, “Airfare changes every day, but as a result of checking online, the fare did not increase by 100 dollars.”<\/p>\n
While both travel agencies and airlines pass on the responsibility for raising fares to each other, Koreans complain of great stress at skyrocketing airfare.<\/p>\n
Mr. Park (44), a Korean resident of Toronto who booked a round-trip ticket during the peak season in July, said, “I booked a ticket a month ago, but even with Air Canada, the total fare including two children was close to $10,000.” I want to go to Korea at least once a year, but the airfare, which was around 5,000 dollars for a family of three before the corona virus, has more than doubled at most, which is too much of a burden. The airfare has already skyrocketed, but it was raised once a few days ago because of fuel tax, and when they heard the news that it would rise again this time, all the mothers around them were crying out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, air reservations until the end of this year are mostly out of special seats, and the average round-trip fare per person until the end of this year is around 3,000 dollars. In the case of the off-season from the end of January to February next year, you can make a reservation for $1,599 on Air Canada and $1,774 on Korean Air, but rates may rise significantly over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
