Cheap Business Class Flights to South Korea

A small but densely populated country, South Korea, is located on the southern portion of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. The country is nearly surrounded by water, including the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean to its east and south, and the Yellow Sea to the west. South Korea, which shares a border with North Korea, has a population of more than 50 million people.

Business class flights to South Korea can be booked to arrive at any of the country’s eight international airports. Many corporate travelers who book flights to South Korea from other countries choose to arrive at Incheon International Airport, (ICN), which is located in the country’s capital city, Seoul. The country’s other international airports include Gimpo International Airport (GMP), which also serves Seoul; Jeju International Airport (CJU), located in Jeju; Muan International Airport (MWX), located in Muan; Yangyang International Airport (YNY), located in Yangyang; and Daegu International Airport (TAE), located in Daegu.

Visitors who book tickets to South Korea for business reasons often work in the high-tech industry. For the past three decades, the country has been a global leader in the development of consumer electronics and cellular phones. South Korea’s capital, Seoul, is home to several corporations that specialize in the development and manufacturing of consumer electronics including the Samsung Group, which was founded in the South Korean city of Daegu in 1938. The LG Corporation, formerly known as the Lucky Goldstar Group, is also a South Korean company. LG, which has its headquarters in Seoul, was founded in that city in 1945.

Automobile manufacturing and development is also an important industry in the country, and is one of the top reasons for many travelers booking business class flights to South Korea. The global car and truck manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company is headquartered in Seoul. Hyundai is part owner of the South Korean auto manufacturer Kia Corporation, which also has its main offices in Seoul. 

Other industries that play a large part in South Korea’s economy include biotechnology; aerospace research and development; cyber security; and robotics.

Cheap flights to South Korea are also booked by leisure travelers. Many tourists who come to the country choose to visit South Korea’s larger cities to enjoy their many cultural attractions, shopping opportunities, and traditional cuisine. South Korea’s beaches; the ancient cities of Seoul, Gyeongju, and Buyeo; the country’s mountains; and its surrounding islands are also large draws for tourists.

Many visitors book tickets to South Korea after being inspired by the country’s trendy K Pop music scene and its K Dramas, South Korean-made television series that are popular among East Asian audiences.

First class flights to South Korea are often booked by visitors from nearby China and Japan who come to the country for both business reasons and to vacation.

Sports enthusiasts are also frequent visitors to the country, especially fans of the martial art Tae Kwan Do, which originated in South Korea. Sports such as football (soccer) and baseball are also popular there. The Korea Professional Baseball League includes ten teams. Short track speed skating and figure skating are also popular sports. These sports help increase tourism, brining in flights to South Korea from around the world so spectators can enjoy the competitions.

Traditional South Korean cuisine has become increasingly popular worldwide over the past twenty years and is a major reason for so many business class flights to South Korea. Dishes that were once rarely seen outside of South Korea such as bibimbap, a rice dish served in a sizzling hot stone bowl that can include a variety of vegetables, meats, and eggs, are now available around the world. Other South Korean delicacies that have become common on global menus include kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage dish most often used as a condiment; bulgogi, a marinated beef barbecue dish; and gimbap, a kind of South Korean sushi made with seafood, meats, and vegetables.

Another reason travelers love to book tickets to South Korea is the local beer culture. South Korean beer has also become quite popular outside of the country, especially in nearby Japan and China. South Korea’s largest beer producers include HiteJinro and Oriental Brewery, which together produce nearly all of South Korea’s major beer brands. These include Hite, OB Golden Lager, Max, and Cass, all of which are widely available at restaurants and in stores throughout South Korea.
