KUL-ICN by Airasia X :: Day 02 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

At 00:30, we boarding. The flight to Incheon, is a big flight. And from Airasia X Company. The seat arrangement is 3-3-3.

Fortunately, there's 1 vacant seat in my row. So, we use 3 seat for 2 people. We hope we can sleep well at night.

I can't sleep. Maybe because too excited. I just sleep for 1 / 2 hours. Besides, the steward and stewardess always walk around to offer some food and beverages.

At 06:00, I buy some Cammomile hot tea for MYR 4 (about IDR 12.340).

We can see sunrise from the plane.

At 08:45, we landing at Seoul-Incheon International Airport.
The first thing to do is, to buy some snack for breakfast. The CU market, has a long queue. We are at CU for almost 20 minutes. We also top-up our T-Money Card with KRW 20.000.

I just know, that if we buy something from CU market, we can't top up our T-Money Card while buy things. So, you can pay your things using your T-Money, or you can separate the bills. But, mostly, not many staff willing to separate your bills. I suggest, just top up more, to pay the things too if you face this situation.

We also decided to rent wifi router. I have contact 4gwifikorea, and they are available near Gate 7 arrival hall.
We rent the wifi 8 days for KRW 29.250 and can be used until 5 device. The customer service can speak English fluently. You need deposit KRW 100.000 and it will back to you when you return the device.

Then we go to out from Gate 7 and looking for airport limousine bus #4001 to Suwon Station.

And the bus park just right in front of the gate. Just approaching the bus and the driver will help you load your baggage to the bus. And get in, and don't forget to tell the driver where do you want to go, and touch your T-Money card inside the bus. Your T-Money card will reduce KRW 12.000 for the journey to Suwon Station.

We ride the bus at 10:10, and it will take about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

I call one of my friend who work in Korea that we are on the way to Suwon because we will meet up at Ivy Stay.

Hunting Flight Ticket :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

Airasia has another Free Seat Promotion, so me and my friend decided to hunting cheap flight. Our destination still South Korea (this is our 2nd trip), and we decided to go at Winter Season.

My 1st trip to Korea at Autumn 2014: https://aawtraveldiary.blogspot.co.id/2014/10/the-journey-begin-magelang-yogyakarta.html

Firstly, we want to go at December 2016 and enjoy Christmas, but we didn't get any cheap flight (even on early month).

So, we decided to hunting for January 2017.

And we got :

*Flight* Yogyakarta JOG to Kuala Lumpur KUL 
               Friday, 6th January 2017 by Airasia at 17:20-20:55
----- Transit at Kuala Lumpur ----
*Flight* Kuala Lumpur KUL to Seoul Incheon ICN 
               Saturday, 7th January 2017 by Airasia at 01:00-08:20

and back with:

*Flight* Seoul Incheon ICN to Kuala Lumpur KUL
               Saturday, 14th January 2017 by Airasia at 15:55-21:40
----- Transit at Kuala Lumpur for 1 night -----
*Flight* Kuala Lumpur KUL - Yogyakarta JOG
               Sunday, 15th January 2017 by Airasia at 09:40-11:15

JOG-KUL Round-way for IDR 645.500/pax
KUL-ICN Round-way for MYR 1.304,16/pax (about IDR 2.122.954/pax)

So, I spend IDR 2.768.454/pax
(without baggage, meal, and seat).

PS: There's no direct flight from Yogyakarta to Seoul, the option is to transit at Kuala Lumpur, or Jakarta. And if I go via Jakarta, I will need domestic flight ticket which more expensive thatn international flight to Kuala Lumpur. So, We decided to transit at Kuala Lumpur (like my 1st trip).

Even I need to transit at Kuala Lumpur, but the ticket has different booking code (because no connecting flight), so that means at Kuala Lumpur, I need to pass the imigration and take my baggage, then 2 hours before flight, I need to check-in again, and pass the imigration again.

If you have situation like this, make sure to spare 4 hours minimum incase there's delay or unexpected situation. And make sure you take the same company flight.

We have not buy any baggage, meal or seat, and we plan to buy them when it's almost departure time.

Don't forget, we bought the ticket for the next 1 year, so it's really cheap, but you have to wait for more than 1 year, even you won't know if you can go or not.

To buy Cheap Ticket, you have to remember. Don't expect cheap ticket at holiday season, and try weekdays if you hardly get cheap ticket on weekend. And when it's time and you can't fly, then there's nothing you can do except let it go.
