We just found this iCheap Deal on Orbitz – Search here!

Korean Air is shuttling North American fliers through its Incheon hub (Seoul) to Manila on the cheap these days. They’ve been competing with EVA, Asiana and China Airlines for the lowest fares on this popular LAX to MNL route.

There is not mention of this deal in the “Hot Deals” section of Korean Air’s website, except for their LAX to Tokyo ($630) and LAX to Sao Paulo ($769) deals.

We’re seeing other popular US departure cities, including Seattle (SEA), Las Vegas (LAS) and San Francisco (SFO) in the mid-$700′s to Manila.

We found this fare with Korean Air on Orbtiz…

Finally, some love for Manila. You would think that Northwest Airlines would be spotlighting this deal on their site, but it’s flying under the jet stream. We couldn’t find any mention of it.

The same price applies from LAX, in addition to SFO. Due to the unannounced nature of this “deal”, we don’t know the details, only that we’re seeing low rates for late May and June. So, expect fares to climb in July.

Rarely do we see good fares to The Philippines, which is unfortunate because of the large amount of expatriates living in the States who frequently make the trip. It’s usually Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore and Bangkok dominating the deals to Asia. So, this is rare opportunity. Up next, maybe some love for Seoul?
