K-culture, street food, temples & tech — with great fares from the West Coast
South Korea has become one of the hottest destinations in Asia, fueled by K-pop, Korean cuisine, and Seoul's incredible energy. Direct flights from several US cities on Korean Air and Asiana make the journey straightforward. Beyond Seoul, explore ancient temples in Gyeongju, hike in Seoraksan National Park, or enjoy Jeju Island's volcanic landscapes.
January through March and September through November offer the cheapest flights. Cherry blossom season (April) and fall foliage (October) are popular but pricier.
