SkyTeam member SAS is selling cheap tickets to Seoul, starting at only €479. Unlike most of their sales, this one is available from multiple non-Scandinavian countries. Luggage is not included, but the surcharge of €100 is relatively fair. SkyTeam frequent flyers get the luggage for free. Departures are scattered between May and June, and from October to December.

First, you’ll always fly to Copenhagen. From there, SAS uses an Airbus A350 for its flights to Seoul. The flight takes 11 hours to Seoul and 14 hours on the way back.
Some EU citizens can enter South Korea visa-free and stay for up to 90 days until the end of 2026. Please check if you have to register via K-ETA before starting your trip.

Editor’s Note: Not only do I personally love South Korea, but I also find it great that this SAS deal is available from eight non-Scandinavian countries, unlike most other SAS deals.
