[06/21/2014 @ 10:32 PM] This fare is still available here: Air Koryo
[06/21/2014 @ 11:33 PM] Reports from that those that have been crazy enough to try to book a ticket – It hangs when you get to the final purchase portion. No dice. 🙁
Please note: This fare is real, but I am being sarcastic about wanting you to book it… humor is a hard thing to convey in text. PS: I am not liable for anything that happens from here on out.
Talk about deal of the century! The Supreme Leader has graced us with an awesome fare to North Korea. The closest I ever got to North Korea was the DMZ sitting on the border between it and South Korea. DMZ means demilitarized zone, which is apparently just another way of saying “militarized out the ass with land-mines too”. If you never want to be heard from again, or want to shoot some hoops with the Dear Leader and Dennis Rodman, flights from Beijing (PEK) to Pyongyang (FNJ) are super-duper cheap right now. Round-trip nonstop flights between both Asian capitals is a whopping zero at the moment.
Some are saying it’s a glitch, but I disagree! It’s obviously a showcase of just how efficient a tyrannical dictatorship can be. Same price for first class or economy. 🙂
