Korean Air - Changing air fare?

I am making a trip to Myanmar, however as I was about to check out through KOREAN Airlines, I noticed a disclaimer that the airfare can change due to the exchange rate that may fluctuate between now & my flight. hmmm?

Has anyone ever flown Korean air and was charged more due to a change in currency exchange? I'm booking from SFO, and it's in USD.

    Airfare is not confirmed until you are booked. Until that time the airfare can change.

    Now, with this airline the airfare is actually in South Korean Won. So if for example the fare was 500,000 Won at today's exchange rate you would be paying about $440 USD. But now if you actually book it today to lock in the 500,000 fare, if they don't charge your card for another 2 weeks you will actually pay the same fare in won, but in USD you are subject to the current exchange rate at that time.

    If the currency is fairly stable the difference should be minimal. If the currency is volatile you may have a bigger difference.
