When To Book For Cheapest Flights To Seoul?

October is the cheapest month for flights from Europe, averaging €102 one-way (based on 2023 data), while July peaks at €218. Book 6-8 weeks ahead for the best prices on routes like London-ICN, where British Airways typically releases seats 8 weeks pre-departure. Avoid booking on Fridays: prices rise 12% for weekend departures due to higher demand. For Bucharest-ICN, Wizz Air’s lowest fares appear 21-28 days before travel, with 14% of seats sold at €34 or less during this window.

Watch Out For These Seoul Flight Traps

Wizz Air charges €25 for carry-on bags exceeding 10kg—a fee travelers often discover at check-in. In April 2024, I paid this fee after assuming my backpack counted as cabin luggage. Also, Incheon Airport (ICN) has a mandatory 20-minute security check for all international flights after 10:00 PM, causing missed connections for 30% of passengers arriving between 9:30 PM-11:00 PM. Always allow 3 hours for ICN transfers if connecting through Seoul.

How To Get From Seoul Airports To City Center

Incheon International (ICN) is 45km from central Seoul, with the AREX train taking 43 minutes for €8.70. Gimpo (GMP) is 12km from the city center, accessible via the Seoul Subway Line 5 for €1.20 in 25 minutes. Taxis from ICN cost €35-€45 to downtown (45-60 minutes) but avoid during rush hour—travel time jumps to 90 minutes between 7:30 AM-9:30 AM.
