Low Fares Flights in The Far East

    I'll be in Japan/Korea/China next spring and I'm looking into booking to go from Tokyo/Osaka to Seoul. I've found a few cheap airlines (Jeju, EastarJet and Peach). They all seem to only allow booking of cheap fares for flights within the next ~ 4 months.

    Is this normal for the region? Does anyone know of an alternative I could book now (while I have the cash :P)?

    I'll be in Hong Kong (among other places) and was looking at crossing into Shenzhen in mainland China. Presumably I'll be free to move about by myself while there, or does anyone know if I need to be part of a guided tour?

    I flew from Osaka Kansai airport to Seoul last November with Peach Airlines . I noticed the exact thing. What I did was set up an 'Alert' email on Skyscanner that contacts you as soon as the price changes. I had to wait a few months but I eventually got an email when the cheap flights became available and I booked straight away.

    Would recommend Peach, they are fine to fly with. Kind of an Asian Ryanair so to speak.

    You'll be fine on your own - it's not North Korea. Getting your China visa sorted takes a little planning but then you're free to do what you want.*
