When to fly to Seoul

Seollal (Korean Lunar New Year) falls on 7 February 2027, with public holidays from 6 to 9 February: trains and domestic flights are very busy and some shops close. Chuseok (14–16 September 2027) is similar. Cherry blossom season (early April) and autumn colour (October to early November) are the most popular, and priciest, times to visit. December–February is cold but usually cheaper outside Christmas and Seollal. Korean Air's seasonal Melbourne flights run from 18 December 2026 to 14 March 2027. SA school holidays run 12 Dec 2026 – 27 Jan 2027.

Baggage on this route

Allowances depend on the airline and the fare you choose. Low-cost carriers only include the bags you pay for, which matters if you travel with a lot of luggage.

Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)

Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.

Arriving at Incheon International Airport (Seoul) (ICN)

  • Korean Air uses Terminal 2; most other airlines, including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Malaysia Airlines, use Terminal 1. A free shuttle links the two, but check your terminal before you fly.
  • The AREX Express train reaches Seoul Station in about 45–50 minutes; the all-stop train is cheaper and a little slower. Airport limousine buses go to most hotel areas, and a taxi to central Seoul takes about an hour.
  • Entry: Australians can visit for up to 90 days without a visa. Korea has waived the K-ETA (electronic travel authorisation) for Australians until 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027 you may need one unless the waiver is extended, so we check before you travel. Apply only at the official site, k-eta.go.kr: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/asia/south-korea-republic-korea
