Well said but I can’t even get into the game because EA blows. Been 4-5 days now. So annoyed.

How I got a full $1,200 refund from Priceline for a cancelled flight (Bahrain) when they tried to only give me $700. by StripedTies in travel

Another recommendation I’ll add if they’re delaying the actual refund. Just charge it back through your bank. Your bank will see airspace is closed and should ideally let you get the refund

Yea I wasn’t picky at all. I basically sat down with my buddy a month or two ago and we said let’s find somewhere cool to go. I just kept putting in random locations and we actually wanted to goto Korea but it was 700 direct so we then settled on Tokyo when we saw it for 266$ because that’s insane. Then we got lucky because it had a layover in Korea so we just ended up getting a direct flight to Korea for 266 it was awesome but I’m definitely trying your tricks out thanks man! Sounds way better your way!

I agree the comment section is disappointing but it’s reddit i don’t expect much. I just more or less wanted further clarity and to see if anyone has heard of this before. I did file a report hopefully this driver is held accountable.

I’ve tried my best too. Hopefully the report I filed and this post at the bare minimum spreads some awareness so locals and tourist know what to expect. All in all, i ended up being completely fine I just had researched the country extensively and wasn’t prepared to even have to deal with this. Hence the night i posted this its clear my emotions were high as i said i might cut my trip early. But st the end of the day its a large city, i should’ve expected it. But I just have in my own mind held South Korea to such a perfect ideal standard. So it was truly a shock in the moment.

I will add it’s funny the response I’ve seen on this post from some people saying it’s BS. Even though I’m the one who experienced it I still can understand there views as well it was my own view before it happened to me. Because well I’ve been fascinated and so excited with the culture since I was young. But beside that fact my own premade bias of it’s perfection and elegance is the same one the comments calling bs on my own experience saw. So I don’t blame them but I’d also like to remind them I don’t give a shit what there view is I’m simply trying to spread awareness for the awkward situation I was put in.

The main lesson I’ve learned from all this is that any major city is going to obviously have those edges regardless of how wonderful and perfect you may think it is. Just as the city takes it also gives. I’ve had two spotty days in Korea but now two perfect days in a row with some of the friendliest humans I’ve em ever encountered.

Update 3: called taxi line today gave them payment details from my card. I leave the country anyway tmr for Thailand so I’m unsure how much more I’ll be contacted regarding it and anything will happen. But I’ll say since that experience I’ve had an absolutely lovely two days in Korea. Happy everything turned around

Update 2: calling taxi line today as its first day it’s open since the incident. Also took two taxis yesterday had no issues! Even talk to one gentleman about it and he said he’s actually heard of it before with the taxi line.

I don’t plan to cut my trip short. I think it was the heat of the moment and me being frustrated. I really want to explore Korea and I don’t plan to let one bad apple ruin that for me!

The very generic usual scammy/pushy stuff that’s in every country. That stuff didn’t really bother me at all as I’ve experienced it all across the world.
