World's worst airline' launches world's worst booking site
North Korean Air Koryo's online booking fails to take off (www.cnngo.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I see they have 12 business class seats and 164 economy. It seems in the DRPK at least 12 comrades are more equal than other comrades
Looks like a normal North Korean operation. I'm sure they think it is great! LOL
The bulkhead behind the two flight attendants looks like particle board.
As I understand it, North Korean people are not allowed to leave the country - so is it possible for an ordinary citizen to book a flight out of N. Korea?
No, it's not. However, anyone who doesn't have the permits to travel would simply not book a ticket since they would just be stopped at the airport and not allowed to board. The small amount of people who are allowed to leave the country would probably find the site a big improvement over having to go to the Air Koryo office in Pyongyang to arrange their travel, assuming it works. It can also be used by the handful of N. Koreans on long term assignments in other countries (mostly in China and Russia) book tickets to return home.
If you want to visit N. Korea, your best bet is to either go through Koryo Tours (who handles booking a ticket on Air Koryo for you) or go to the N. Korean consulate in Shenyang, plop down a few thousand USD and say you want to go to N. Korea and they're generally willing to oblige.
