About This Route
Seoul blends royal palaces, hyper-modern districts, and a nonstop food and café culture into one dynamic capital. Spring blossoms and crisp autumn foliage are the peak times to go.
Seoul's Incheon Airport is a long nonstop from New York at roughly fourteen and a half hours, with Korean Air and Asiana flying the route from JFK. Incheon consistently ranks among the world's best-connected hubs, making onward travel across Asia easy. Fares generally soften in April, May and October, outside the summer and holiday peaks. South Korea requires most US visitors to hold a valid K-ETA travel authorization, so confirm the current requirement before you fly. Seoul sits about thirteen hours ahead of New York, so expect real jet lag. It's still worth comparing JFK and EWR pricing on this route.
Pro tip: Book 3-6 weeks in advance for the best deals. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically the cheapest days to fly on this route. Avoid traveling during peak periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break for lower fares.
