Singapore Airlines $499 to Seoul is Competitively Priced

I compared the Singapore Airlines ticket price from San Francisco to Seoul, South Korea to ticket prices available on other airlines. This deal is the lowest price ticket for nonstop flights.

China Eastern will fly you SFO to Seoul GMP for $428, but that fare requires an overnight and change of airport in Shanghai. The $499 Singapore fare for nonstop flights between San Francisco and Seoul Inchon ICN is the real deal.

Singapore Airlines $699 to Singapore has miles competition from United/ANA

The deal to Singapore at $699 round trip is less competitive, given the alternative of flying United and ANA via Japan to Singapore for about $60 to $70 more. Singapore Airlines $699 fares are a one-stop routing SFO-ICN-SIN.
