hmm not sure this is good info to share or not, it was encountered from my trip

about Olleh Egg one:
AFAIK you know the battery maybe can lasts for 10 hours but not all people have time to chill out and have time put the egg to charge lol.

last time the egg kena something and the whole device keep blinking with red light.
we tried reset with the only button that people told us and it is no use at all.

but finally after approach someone who know english and he made the call to the Egg rent service line, he just detach the Egg cover and remove the battery and put it back lol!

yea that is the point. if your Wifi Egg thingy is not working but still have battery power, remove the battery and put it back.

the device we used is middle one

Any sharing is good sharing. Thank you ^^

My understanding for SK mifi rental.... can someone confirm these?

unlimited data
can be connected for more than 3 devices (we are a group of 4)
nationwide coverage (jeju too right?)
they accept credit card for deposit (don't want to be bringing 200k back to msia lol)

Is the return progress fast and swift? We will arrive at incheon at 7am via AREX, flight is at 9.35

Thanks for the reassurance except for the last part where you got me like icon_question.gif
No choice because the first Arex train runs at 6am... Do you have any suggestions? What about taxi? How much will it costs me though?

usually i will take cab cause i have lotsa stuffs to bring back to M'sia.. unless you have less stuffs but if you are going with few friends, you can share among them. overall it's still worth than taking arex and less hassle. where do you stay? some guesthouse do provide taxi service

24 guesthouse premier seoul station @ seoul station. Any idea taxi fare around how much?

other options is take the airport limo bus but you need to check the timetable. unsure about the taxi fare. you can ask your guesthouse to help you book. might be cheaper
*
First bus at 0535 takes 60m~70mins so we will arrive at airport same time as Arex.
thanks for the reply. will take everything into consideration!

Now all new Mifi units have LTE + 4G hybrid, so it works every where.
Can consider olleh.

Online reservation then you get free device rental.

Time is okay, as long as you take the first train of the day. Queue won't take more than 20 minutes normally.

I ran to the gate with the staff before rolleyes.gif , 2 hours is enough time
*
u mean kt olleh right? it was my first choice until i read the deposit must be paid in cash so im getting SK.
SK also free device rental now.

2hours will rush die us haha. we usually try to be at the airport 3hours+ before flight just in case.

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.

dinozilla

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.

Can consider Wiyo too.

Wiyo - RM12/day excluding RM200 refundable deposit
Travel Recommend - RM13/day, no need deposit if book online.

for me i think jeongsanrail bike & samcheok railbike were far more nicer. more local go and less tourist as it's quite far. if really you want to compare gangchon or gapyeong rail bike. i will choose gangchon. view are better however nearer to seoul is gapyeong rail bike. gangchon rail bike lotsa people because due to running man tv show went there before  laugh.gif
*
The two other rail bikes too far away don't have time to travel there. Was hoping gapyeong nicer view coz we'll be stopping there to go to nami so might as well and if we have extra time we will try to cover petite france as well. runningman isn't nice anymore after the PD left sad.gif

Hi all,

Any one face any problem with car rental at jeju  with malaysian driving license (I have international driving permit). Read from other forum and learn that they dont accept international driving permit issued by some country. Not sure about malaysian.

Sorry I do not have much time to search more info, as I am going day after tomorrow... sweating when i read that.
*
No problem I think. A lot of Malaysians go jeju self drive also, if got problem already will see ppl post here. Don't worry lah. have fun!

koonghx Since we are all very new to this I think most would prefer option 2 for now but if only we have roaming (I usually don't) otherwise wouldn't be able to get the TAC to the transfer on the spot.

If you could give the rate you said then yes it is a very good deal for us and yes obviously better than any money changer in KL.

Question is can you meet whenever (say, 11am, 3pm, 9pm?) or wherever (only hongdae station? hw bt hotspot like seoul station/myeongdong station?)
