I asked this in the airfare thread but maybe some local experts would have additional suggestions too:mobby_6kl posted:What are the cheapest routes between Korea and Japan? I want to visit both on one trip and thought there'd be something on a short flight like between like Busan and let's say Hiroshima but I'm not seeing anything. Are there some secret lowcost airlines that aren't available to the dirty foreigners or something?

A ferry could work too, 3.5 hours is fine, though it limits the itinerary somewhat. I would've wanted to visit both Busan and Fukuoka anyway though. A return trip is at least 24,000JPY though with fees and taxes so not much better than planes. Not the end of the world, I guess I'm just spoiled by European LCCs.Toxic Mental posted:Be careful taking that ferry, you might get off in Fukuoka and have a stark realization how much nicer it is than Seoul and then spend the rest of your life there. I know I did.

Bugblatter posted:The ferries can be canceled if seas are too choppy, so it's a little bit of a risk. All in all not worth it IMO. How many days would you suggest spending in Seoul (including for day trips like DMZ or whatever) on a first trip? As I probably mentioned before, I'd be splitting 3 weeks between Korea and Japan and was planning roughly 7/14 split. I have some vouchers for accomodation that I have to use until EOY so I'd just book something now. E: lol can't book poo poo now because Saudia canceled the flights with no replacement, apparently I have to wait for the new schedule due in January

Ehh I don't know  I've spent a week in NYC before (twice, years apart) but I travel to the US semi-regularly so it's easier to justify. I think I'd like to see more of Korea - several cities/town, some nature stuff. For example in Taiwan I visited Taipei, Taichung, Khaosing, Haulien, but also Taroko and Kenting parks, and Green Island. I had more time though so obviously something would have to be sacrificed. If I can extend the trip for free once they publish the new schedule maybe I could just work remotely from Seoul for a week while exploring the city, which would make things a lot easier of course.

I just saw Korea requires their own stupid K-ETA thing. Is everyone going to require this poo poo now? It's basically a visa that's only a bit less anoying to get
