That must have been in the 90s. I've been in Korea for 22 years 
now (lost my military discount on tickets long ago) and ticket 
prices right now are the highest I've ever seen them. I'm looking 
at $2400 for a round-trip to Atlanta next month and am seriously 
considering a flight with three layovers instead. Three years ago 
the same flight at the same time of year cost me $1600. I haven't 
looked into prices to Seattle yet as my schedule likely isn't 
going to allow a trip to DConf (unless I get extremely lucky).
