Best things to do and see in South Korea

How long does it take to fly to South Korea?

The duration of the flights to South Korea from the United States varies significantly due to the vast size of the United States. There are many US airports to choose from. As for the planes landing in the largest South Korean airport, Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN), flights with departures out of San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) last around 13h. As for trips taking off from both Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Washington D.C. and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York, it takes about 14h and 25min to arrive at the destination in Seoul Incheon International Airport. The other common arrival airports in South Korea are Gimhae International Airport (PUS) in Busan and Jeju International Airport (CJU) on the island of Jeju. However, to get to those airports from the United States, all flights have at least one layover first and it’s generally in the Seoul Incheon International Airport.

Can you get nonstop flights to South Korea from the US?

Yes, there are various nonstop South Korea flights from the United States that run year-round. Korean Air is the main South Korean airline operating flights from the United States. You’ll find direct flights with them from airports like San Francisco International Airport, Seattle/Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Los Angeles International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Dulles International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), and John F. Kennedy International Airport every day of the week, and from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on selected days. Some of these cities have other airlines apart from Korean Air operating direct flights to South Korea. For instance, you can also find tickets from San Francisco International Airport, Seattle/Tacoma International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, and John F. Kennedy Airport with Asiana Airlines. Delta Airlines offers direct routes to Seoul out of Seattle/Tacoma International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW).

What is the best way to travel around South Korea?

The best way of getting around South Korea is by train. They have a very modern and efficient train system. There is a bullet train that connects the two major cities of Seoul and Busan, between the most northern point and the southern point of the country, completing the journey in less than 3h. Within the cities, public transportation is also a simple and convenient way of getting around. There are both metro systems and buses. There are also cheap flights with local airlines like Jeju Air, T’Way Air, and Air Busan for domestic routes between larger cities like Seoul, Busan, and the island of Jeju. If you’re up for an adventure, you can always rent a car directly from the airport you land in from the United States. However, it can be a bit tricky to navigate the roads if you’re not familiar with the driving customs especially within the busier cities like Seoul and Busan.

Does a US citizen need a passport or visa to fly to South Korea?

Yes, you will need a valid US passport to be able to enter South Korea. The passport must coincide with the name on your boarding pass. On top of that, US citizens are required to obtain a visa before flying to South Korea as well. US citizens can get the necessary tourist visa online. You must apply at least 24h before your departure out of the United States and you will need to pay a fee along with your application.
