seoul korea republic

Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines is selling discounted tickets for business class flights from Budapest, Prague, and Warsaw to Seoul. Prices now start at only €1,110. There’s daily availability throughout 2021.

Info

Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.

A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.

Your trip will always include one layover. Stops in Istanbul have the advantage of visiting one of the best lounges in the world. Turkish Airlines schedules Boeing 777 aircraft on the long haul segments. These feature a 2-3-2 seating pattern with lie-flat-seats up front.

Warning

We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.

Search & Book

The fare rules for this deal state that it will remain bookable until January 15, 2021. They also state that your trip needs to begin after April 1, 2021. During the summer vacation, however, the price increases by roughly €40. The minimum stay requirement is of merely 2 days (or a Sunday).

In order to find the connections that work best for you, we recommend using our flight search above, which will redirect you to Turkish Airlines’ website. For longer trips, check Google Flights (instructions).

Flights to Seoul

Flights to Korea are unfortunately not as cheap as to China or Southeast Asia, but there are – especially if you are flexible – some bargains that are definitely worth it.

For flights to Seoul, one should usually be prepared to pay between 400€ and 500€ for a good deal. Often there are also bargains in Business Class, especially from LOT.

You should avoid the school holidays, especially the summer holidays. During this period, airfares quickly rise to more than 700€ and partly reach heights of up to 1.000€ for a direct flight in economy. Good deals are not to be expected during this period.
