Ulsan Flights!


We will be organizing flights through Flight Centre, and working to keep the costs down on your flight. In most cases, the flights are right around $1000, but depending on where you are flying from, it could be as high as $1300. It really depends. However, to get the $1000 reimbursed, it is important that you let us arrange the flight booking and then forward you the details to confirm and pay. This is important for record keeping purposes for the Korean Ministry and we also have a special arrangement with Flight Centre that will get you the best prices on flights. The Korean Ministry has strict and finicky regulations about reimbursement, as the flight has to have a specific path (ie -- stopover in Japan or direct to Pusan) in order for the max amount to be refunded. So, it is really important that you let us get the flights organized. We want you to get your money back!

When possible, we will try to get more than one Pegasus Teacher on the same flight, when teachers are leaving from the same gateway. We want you to make friends so that you can share this exciting experience!

We also recommend that you do not get a roundtrip ticket so that you can capitalize on the contract-end bonuses. So, the flights we are organizing are one-way.

To help get things moving, please email Tracy (see email below) with the location from which you will be leaving for Korea. Also, specify whether you want to be leaving early. Otherwise, we will be coordinating for your arrival on August 27th, when the majority of the Ministry teachers will be arriving in Korea and beginning training. (There will be buses waiting for all you eager teachers at the airport). If you plan to arrive early, you will be responsible for your accommodation until the 27th, and we will have to make special transportation arrangements for you on the 27th.
