Great news if Korea is on your travel hit list this year, because one of South Korea’s top budget airlines, Jeju Air, has just launched a new direct flight route from Singapore to Seoul’s Incheon International Airport. While there’s already no shortage of non-stop budget flights between the two locations – namely via Scoot and T'way Air – this new addition by Jeju Air provides K-crazy Singaporeans even more options to choose from, and is set to give its competitors a good run for their money.

Prior to this, there was only one non-stop service operating between Singapore and Korea via Jeju Air – from Changi Airport to Gimhae International Airport in Busan. While Busan is also a highly popular travel destination, its Korea’s capital that draws in the largest crowds, thanks to its array of cute cafés, amazing street eats, cosmetic stores and – dare we say – oppa sightings.
