whoa.. you bought so much not afraid being tax once reach Msia

yea i seldom buy from airport duty free but i saw lotsa tourists buy especially PRC cause they have more discounts

i get to know because previously my friends and i queue behind few koreans (different lane) and it took so long for them to check compare non citizen. so my friends and i wonder what the officer check. then we saw on the screen got those images. from before surgery to the latest image. if one done many surgeries, hence it will show up more image.. i saw before some got 2 pages so i guess this checking only applies to koreans. also i wonder how is the person going to return back to the home country if he/she go to korea for cosmetic surgery? 2 different faces in the passport

Never got taxed before.. I put inside luggage along with clothes, and not like it's expensive enough to be taxed anyway~
The PRC are doing round trips every day.
Some of them their job is to board a flight to Korea carry the things then go back on the next flight.
On China airlines, their cabin luggage is unlimited as long as you can carry them

perhaps it depends on people and the officer on duty cause i saw people being taxed for purchasing lots of stuffs from lotte mart that packed on carton boxes

didn't know about the china airlines baggage policy if i'm from neighboring countries, i will travel often too

Today is 중복. Ate 탕 for dinner. Dog meat.

Hi all, im heading to jeju this coming september, i will be reaching jeju airport in the evening, n booked the car on next day.

My plan is actually to settle down in a hotel on the day of arrival at downtown jeju, n subsequent get the car from the car rental company(hertz) which is situated near Jeju Airport.

Is this arrangement recon? Would it be troublesome/exp to travel (by taxi or bus) to the car rental place from downtown jeju?

Your advice is much appreciated.

Did you check the price at SIXT? If i were you, i wouldn't go through all that trouble to get the car the nx day especially when SIXT is really cheap.

Does express bus terminal underground mall is the cheaper n bestest place for shopping? Or myeodong/hongdae area better? hunting for shoes. not branded. Any recommend? 😁

actually the places u mentioned all also got la..but for shoes i personally feel hongdae has slightly more.

Hi guys, am still reading the posts , need abit of time. Meantime, please comment on my itinerary. Going on October 14 (Friday). So far, only booked Jeju flight ticket. Apologies for obvious need for spoon feed.

Taking shuttle bus to Everland (i know the crowd will be crazy on weekend) from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station. Will miss the fireworks coz need to catch the bus back. Bus departs at 6pm.

sorry will upload a better pic

I will be going to Korea for two weeks for honeymoon. Should I rent a mobile wifi or a sim card, or purchase a sim card? Which would be a better choice?

take the train. it's much more cheaper.

have you checked the price? For me mobile wifi is slightly cheaper thats why i go for it. Plus i don't call..i just need data..

how many person in your trip? i personally prefer driving but some people want less hassle and opt for hiring the taxi. it's not convenient to take bus in jeju.. distance from 1 attractions to another is not near.

it depends. don't get the cheapest. get the one you like and suits you. mostly shoes sold there is made in china la..

i prefer eggs. but if you travel alone then get the sim card

read my comments in red above.

Yes, mobile wifi is cheaper. But I am not sure if I need to make any phone call a not, when the problem is I can't speak Korean language

Not traveling alone, as mentioned honeymoon, for sure is with my wife.

thanks for the tips

Hi yvonne, u didnt comment on my jeju itinerary. back to the city tour, it is preferable to walk and take subway rather than take the bus? Do we really need wifi there ie to use translation or what not

Guys,

Planning to go for S.Korea on Nov....already bought tickets...its for honeymoon anyway...
will be a midnight flight on 8th Nov, reach there 7am 9th Nov.
my return flight is 19th Nov 4pm

A few things in mind that is troubling now....would be great if you guys can help advise...

1) I plan to have a domestic trip to Jeju as well....thinking of if can just fly to there on 9th after reach Incheon. The concern is the time required to get from Incheon to Gimpo, with all the stuffs u need to do (custom clearance, get WIFI/EGsim, T-money, etc), then transit to Gimpo, and drop luggage at some storage/deposit service (they do have in Gimpo airport right?), then check-in for domestic....what is the best time i should pick for the Jeju flight? lets assume if my flight may be delay n reach on 8am, what is the buffer i required to get to Gimpo and ready without too rush? 12pm?

2) If going Jeju, for sure i prefer to dump half of my luggage at somewhere without carrying to Jeju for nothing. I was told there is 1 luggage counter somewhere in Gimpo? is it true? if yes, how much the cost for a 24/28" luggage? i plan to make it 9-12 if possible.

3) Any recommendation for car rental if i wish to opt for self-drive there? if with smaller luggage, i guess A-seg car good enough?

4) what is the best airline to look for? Jeju Air? Air Busan?

5) Any recommended accommodation in Jeju/Seoul? I yet to book any? is AirBnB legal there?

6) Is it got free gift/coupon booklet to giveaway from KTO in KL? Do i need anything/document to get it? Since i going November, what is the best time to go to their office to redeem?

Thanks for any help. TQ

Suggest you to spend one night in seoul, and flight to jeju the following day. One stone kill 2 birds, you no need have to worry about flight delay and you can keep your luggage at the hotel too(FOC).
