Airline and stopovers
You'll travel with Sichuan Airlines. Your outbound flight includes one stopover (not direct), so expect an intermediate stop before reaching Incheon. It's standard on Asian routes from Europe and gives you a chance to rest before the final leg.
Best time to visit
South Korea has a continental climate: cold, dry winters and mild springs and autumns. The example trip is mid-December (winter), with low temperatures. If you prefer comfort, aim for spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October). Prices shift with the season, so choose based on your cold tolerance.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Incheon Airport (ICN), 60 km from Seoul. The capital is vibrant: temples, historic palaces, modern districts like Gangnam, world-class food and nightlife. Plan ahead, explore museums, markets and ancient heritage. Seoul deserves at least a week to make the most of it.
