I am also goin to jeju on end january and thinking to hike hallsan as well with 4 of us. Any idea it half day activities or basically might take whole day? We have 3 nights at jeju before heading to seoul.

if not mistaken it depends on the trail that you will be hiking?

i would like to recommend Come On Guesthouse.
Comfortable, good service and everything is good.
it is quite near to Chungmuro Station Exit 1, and it is in front of convenient mart GS 25.
just need to walk about 100m from Exit 1 to reach the guesthouse and you will pass by 7E too.
and the price wise, it is very affordable for backpackers like us.

and don't forget to go to SulBing or any bingsoo shops there!

Will travel to jeju & seoul on next year april. Wonder usually how is the weather conditions during tat month? Cold, warm or hot?

its spring, its cooling la..but if its end of of april, then it will get SLIGHTLY warmer since its on the transition to summer.

been searching jeju-gimpo flight for jan 26th but seems everything is more than rm100. i took jejuair last year this year wanna try different airlines.

wats the cheapest we can get for this short flight? less rm100 possible?

Cheapest can get is 15,900KRW eastar jet. Jeju Air about 18,000KRW (Both below Rm80)

If you have set a date when you travel, it is not up to you to decide whether you can get cheap fare or not. The fare will not just drop as per your expected price
If you want a cheap fare, you have to travel accomodate to the cheap fare date.

then eastar..

u wont be able to get this price for korean air/asiana

Not sure if you want to risk it but booking in advance does not mean you will get it at a cheaper price (unless it's for peak season like lunar new year, mid autumn or summer/winter holiday periods).

I bought my tickets last thursday and flew in to jeju from gimpo yesterday via tway air for 35k won per way including taxes. Pretty reasonable considering it's the weekend.

Occasionally if i fly on weekdays there are tickets that are priced at 10k for base fare. If you have the flexibility, you may want to consider changing your travel dates to jeju?

Below screenshot is for next week's flight.

Is really depends on luck to get the cheap fare if the travel date was fixed.
Most of the reader here is travel from KL to Incheon then Gimpo to Jeju. If they manage to get cheapest fare to jeju doens't mean they can get the cheap fare from KL to Incheon

Yup i understand. I guess what i was trying to say is that the fares are usually cheaper on weekdays so try to avoid flying gimpo-jeju on weekends eg between thurs-sat if there's flexibility to choose when to go to jeju during your trip in korea.

And also, for those willing to risk it, they might be in luck to get even cheaper tickets to jeju at the last minute as well

Hello guys, I've booked 4pax through airbnb for a trip to Seoul during first week of March.
I know it's gonna be chilly there but how many coats should I pack even?
I will be staying in gangnam.

Plus now efficient will it be if we were to travel to Busan for a day trip? TO think that the KTX ticket is expensive, it doesn't sound promising.

March is already spring. U don't really need winter clothing, maybe just a layer of jacket will do, u can wear thicker inner wear if u are sensitive to cold.

How many up to you la..if u don mind wearing the same one everyday.

Busan for a day, IMPOSSIBLE..first, Busan itself is so huge that u might want to spend at least 4-6 days to explore places around. second, yes the price is expensive. third, to and fro the journey gonna take u at least 6 hours already.

I going to Seoul end of dec, do I need to get a pair of winter shoe?

If yes, where can i get 1?

Thanks

anywhere. online or go place like those shops in mall

Thanks! I thought it was a bit too adventurous anyway.

Haha i wouldn't call this adventurous..i call it impractical.

I think for tourists KTX to Busan is 50,000won one way.

I'm taking from Busan to Seoul and the price one way is 59,800 won/way.

Hey guys, heard ppl advise changing currency in Seoul have better rates...true? They accept Myr or not?
