Here is a list of websites that I use to get inspiration. Hope it is useful to you as it has been for me. All websites stated on this page are sites that I have used. If you have any other highlights or must-have tips of your own that you'll like to share, please leave a comment below.
💙 Reviews / Ideas / Research / Resources 💙
- TripAdvisor - The reviews and forums are pretty useful.
- Korea Tourism Board - The suggestions and information is astounding; extremely useful. You should check out their Facebook as well.
- Visit Seoul - A much simpler site with introductions on Seoul and South Korea. Navigation is a breeze as it is separated into different categories like attractions, planning your trip, dining, accommodation (you can even reserve accommodations though the site).
- Expedia Travelblog – A global travel resource powered by a community of local experts providing unrivaled local knowledge and deals
- Kojects - tries to help keep more people informed of the various construction and urban development projects around Seoul and the rest of South Korea, focusing on public transport and public infrastructure.
- From Incheon Airport to Seoul / Myeongdong - The modes of transferring from Incheon Airport to Seoul, more specifically to Myeongdong
- Interactive Subway Map
💘 Airlines 💘
The average ticket to Seoul cost about S$900++ and above for direct flights. I am not much of a stop-over person, the faster you can get to your destination, the faster you can start your day. Of course, there is a price to pay for that convenience, but sometimes (if not most of the time) it is worth it.- Asiana - Air fares tend to be slight cheaper than Korean Air starting at about S$900. However, the website is only optimized for Internet Explorer so that's not so great for users of other browsers.
- Korean Air - Good to check out and there might be offers as well.
- Singapore Airlines - If you have confirmed your flight dates and are pretty sure there will be no changes to those dates, buying the tickets a couple of months before can save you a lot especially if they have special on going promotions. Though the tickets tend to be on the pricier side, it is worth the money for those long international flights.
- Domestic Flights to Jeju from Incheon Airport - If you are planning to head to Jeju island from Seoul and wondering how to get there, then this is for you.
- Expedia - if there are no ongoing promotions, you might want to search for slightly cheaper flights.
💛 Sites for accommodation/flights and comparison 💛
- Hotellook – Provides a good overview of all accommodation rates from booking sites like Booking.com, Expedia.com etc… Great resource for a quick comparison of the various rates across the web for hotels and picking out the cheapest one.
- Zuji - Gives a good overview view and estimate of air flight rates as well as accommodation. The results can be used to be compared with those from HotelsCombined in your decision making process.
- AirBnB - If you want accommodation a little more affordable or be able to blend in more with the locals, AirBnB is a good place to start. Here's a list of AirBnBs that I enjoy my stays:
