QUOTE(mamasos @ Aug 2 2016, 10:25 AM) 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). Does that applicable even to those home stay or Airbnb type? I would wish to consider but currently from jeju air, the flight on day after is costlier, n it's cheaper than other airlines ad Is jeju 3d2n sufficient? Or 4d3n better? |

1) I would take the 1pm flight. 2) For storing luggage, may I suggest other option coz I wouldn't bother as I find it quite troublesome to store and retrieve it later. For me, I usually bring a 21'' or 22'' (maximum size for cabin baggage) then break out my 2 foldable zipper shopping bags for my loots, this way you don't have to pay for check in luggage for KL-SEOUL. For jeju, most korean airlines should allow 10-15kg carry on baggage. 3) SIXT car rental approx RM100/day. Remember you need to get an international driving license from JPJ for RM150. Take note that all car rentals open at 0800 if you wish to return to seoul in the morning. 4) Try budget airlines like Eastarjet, Jejuair. If you book early you can get below RM200 return per pax. 5) I'm gonna be staying at 2 hotels in jeju. Hotel Tong Jeju (seogwipo), Yellow Guesthouse (jeju city). 24 guesthouse premier seoul (seoul station). All 3 hotels are below RM200/night. I'd much prefer to stay near seoul station because of the AREX and not switch to subway to myeongdong etc consider we will be dragging our luggage. |

QUOTE(luminaryxi @ Aug 2 2016, 09:53 AM) 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 i didn't mention on the jeju as i'm not sure whether you plan to self drive or hired a taxi. if you hired a taxi, the person will bring you around to where you plan to go and even recommend you places. so you don't need to worry on this.for the city tour bus, i already mentioned i won't recommend but all depends on the individual. some people enjoyed taking the tour bus. for the wifi thingy, it depends on whether you want or not. of cause it would be more convenience to have it. some people don't bother to online during travel and use the wifi only after they back to their hotel/guesthouse room. most of the tourist places, they know to speak in english & mandarin. so do not worry else you can seek the help from the tourist information center. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « better for you to stay 1 night before depart to jeju. i suggest you stay at least 2 days in seoul before heading to jeju. you can leave your luggage in the hotel/guesthouse in seoul so you don't worry to tag along all those stuffs. more convenience that way. no really specific which airline to jeu is the best la.. but eastar is the cheapest but you need to always check on their promotions online. so many accommondation in jeju & seoul. you can search online to check which one meet your budget. you can go to take the booklet anytime but during weekday will be better. they only open on selected saturday if i'm not mistaken.
