Lufthansa Premium Economy to Seoul, South Korea for €689 from Budapest

Lufthansa Premium Economy Class Boeing 747-8i

Lufthansa is once again offering premium economy tickets from Budapest to Seoul starting at HUF 268,600 (~€680). Contrary to the previous offers, the route only requires a stop in Frankfurt. Unfortunately, that also means that options with mini-stopovers in Tokyo are limited.

In Lufthansa’s premium economy, 2 x 23 kg baggage allowance and more comfortable seats with additional space are included. For more information, see our premium economy comparison.

    what is the max stopover in tokyo?

  2. Waslow says:

    hi, can you for example take this flight, but instead of Sould finish the trip in Tokyo and a week later to fly back and simply resume the flight from Tokyo?

    • Felix says:

      Hi Waslow! That is not possible. If you don’t fly a single segment, all consecutive segments will be voided. So if you don’t board the flight to Seoul, all other flights will be cancelled.
