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

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?

Thanks all

If I pick on the 9th, currently time slot I pick is jeju air with 12:25pm, then return on 13:05 12th nov
That should give me a full 36hour in jeju
I have no idea how huge my luggage will be yet, as the trip is 9-19/11
I booked Korean air Econ, given 23kg each, which I think a combined luggage weight for me n wife later won't be more than 20kg initially
Worst case scenario, we split two baggage, all bring to jeju as it gives 15kg each lol
Currently
Jeju air : 12:40 - 11:45 : 162000won
Air Busan : 14:45 - 13:05 : 146700won
Eastar jet : 13:05 - 12:50 : 126000won
Which 1 better?

Just wondering
If a night stay in Seoul is made first
What is a good timing for going jeju next day?
Air Busan only has 2-4 per day while eastar n jeju has many
How safe/secure in leaving additional luggage with guesthouse?

I called to Korea plaza just now, they say open on Saturday, didn't mention only selected Saturday

No special fare on 10 Nov....
09:45/10:20/11:10 all 34900W
if leaving morning 10/Nov, how many day best to go for it?
plan to drop return rented car before the full 1 day (say example i rent the car at 12pm 10/Nov
hence i will return to rental company maybe 10am? then check-in at airport by 11am...can take flight maybe 12:50...
i look at 13/Nov...combined fare is 186000won...
jeju air need 228000won ad....

For date I picked
It seems eastar is lowest so far
N best rate is on 9th
Wonder what's the rate for luggage storage at airport?
Eastar rate is 126000 vs 186000 for 9-12 vs 10-13
60000w enough for 4 days storage fee?

guess i need to assess a bit on pro & con for direct depart to jeju vs stay seoul 1 night before go....

after discussion...she thinks that since our luggage usually less than 20kg combined...(not including carry-on)
it is okay we just bring along to Jeju...lol
so its okay to just go on 9th/Nov as that gives us the cheapest fare across few days....
checked and seems easter is giving lowest fare here now...
departure
11:40 takes 28900
13:05 take 25900
is 11:40 giving enough buffer for 7:10 incheon arrival?

will plan to have return flight from Jeju done at 12:50 12/11

Yea, 13:05 might be just relax a bit if reach earlier...explore a bit the airport lol
Tot will be lesser time to go around after reach Jeju...

2yrs ago when I went, was around the best time of recent years, ¥1000 vs MYR30.xx
Now looking at the 39.80, feel scary to go...lol

wiyo got so cheap meh???
the voucher i got from Korea Plaza shows 28/day...

Okay i got my initial plan now....will need some input help to revise...

8 Nov 23:59 depart KLIA
9 Nov 07:10 arrive ICN
planning to depart straight to Jeju so the flight pick will be eastar jet
9 Nov 13:05 depart Gimpo
9 Nov 14:10 arrive Jeju

Jeju plan yet to settle...but will opt for self-drive
Jeju will last until 12 Nov

any suggestion what type of car to rent?
I searched holiday autos, Sixt is shuttle bus to location to rent, Hertz pass to you at airport(costlier, but with additional insurance coverage like theft)
I may carry 2x 24" luggage....is car like Kia Morning able to carry in its luggage compartment?

And is it okay to rent just 1 place in Jeju main town across the days, or better with different places over the nights?

Still need work out entire plan in Jeju

12 Nov 12:50 depart Jeju
12 Nov 13:55 arrive Gimpo

Considering to be based in the same hotel/guesthouse until departure on 19 Nov
Any recommendation?
Excluding 12 Nov and 19 Nov, i will have 13-18 total of full 6 days for Seoul and outer...
Still not yet have full thought on where to cover but i have some key places wish to included:
1) Everland
2) Nami Island
3) Premium Outlet (still deciding...but Icheon is the biggest and furthest i think)

(1) and (3) each can consume a day....that can be 2 days gone...
The remaining 4 would be for Nami + other Seoul spots....yet to spend enough time to compile any Must-go/Can-go....
Any recommend?

Just booked Easter Jet
9/Nov 13:05 to Jeju
12/Nov 12:50 back Seoul

now will be accommodation and transport plan...

any recommendation if all 3 nights in Jeju should i stick in Seogwipo?
or should i have last night at Jeju-si?
I checked from Google map, seems the distance back from Seogwipo to Jeju-si is 1hr 33min....
if i gonna return car and catch for check-in, basically need to wake early n rush to airport ad...
but is it worth to have that night shift to Jeju-si?
or just stick on to the south...lol

and haven decide where to get car...

yvonnesoo any advice?

yvonnesoo, any recommendation for Jeju car rental?
My friend shown me holidays autos (its also shown in LYN ad space lol)
i might aim for Kia Morning (small n sufficient for 2) i guess...
Yet to decide if to bring all luggage to there or keep in airport deposit since we go for 4d3n
