    One warning if you book with a travel website! If there is an issue with your flight, the airline will not help you if you booked your ticket with a third-party travel site. The airline will refer you back to the travel site for assistance. If you're in a foreign country, it may be harder to contact the travel site due to the time difference. Pay the extra cost and book directly with the airline! I had a nightmare experience and I will never book through a travel site again. The few dollars I saved booking through a travel site was not worth the headache I faced when something went wrong.

    Thanks, man. I'm wrapping up a long stay in Antioquia, Colombia, and it's time to head back home. This really helped me find the most affordable option (though the budget airline I chose to take is.. awful. We all know who I'm talking about), so I'd like to thank you. Keep doing these kinds of things; it's very helpful.

    Change of subject. Have you ever flown with Korean Airlines? How big is the underseat space

    • @ProjectUntethered
      @ProjectUntethered  10 місяців тому

      Hmm...possibly, but I can't really remember. I asked Gemini and this is what it said 🤓:
      The under-seat storage space on Korean Airplanes varies depending on the aircraft type and the specific seat.
      In general, the space is around 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) high, 16 to 18 inches (40 to 45 cm) wide, and 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) deep. However, it is always best to check the seat map for the specific flight you are interested in to get the most accurate information.
      Here are some links to the seat maps of Korean Air's most popular aircraft:

      It is important to note that the space under the seat in front of you may be occupied by the life vest or other safety equipment. You should also be aware that some airlines may not allow you to store certain items under the seat, such as fragile items or large electronics.

    I'd prefer not to fly with Norse, Play. While their base fares are inexpensive, once you factor in additional costs like luggage, carry-on, and seat selection, the total expense ends up being comparable to a full-service airline.

      I've found it works better with some airlines than others. Seems to work more often in Latin America. It also seems to work more often when you're searching for a domestic flight outside of your country. For example, searching for a local flight between 2 Colombian cities while inside the US. This is the example I showed on the screen, but this is only helpful in certain situations. Also make sure to clear your cookies/cache before switching the VPN to a different country!
