Questions about London to Seoul

Which month is cheapest for London to Seoul?

February is the cheapest of the next 5 months to travel from London to Seoul, at €550.02 for one passenger. Each month is priced on its fifteenth, so the comparison is like for like rather than a mix of weekends and midweek departures.

Who runs services from London to Seoul?

No operator record names London to Seoul directly. Asiana Airlines, British Airways, Korean Air, Virgin Atlantic Airways publish service areas covering both ends and may serve it, so we list them as possible operators rather than confirmed ones.

Is there a direct service from London to Seoul?

Every service we sell from London to Seoul is direct, with around 24 departures a day and a fastest journey of 15h door to door. No connection is needed, so there is no missed connection risk to plan around on this corridor.

Services from London to Seoul by flight leave from London LHR and arrive at Seoul ICN. Allow about 3h 10m in total for reaching the departure terminal and leaving the arrival one, which is already included in every door to door time on this page.

Can I change or refund a ticket from London to Seoul?

0 of the 4 operators we sell from London to Seoul allow a change or a refund. A change on a changeable fare costs €5.00. The operator table on this page names which is which, and the condition is shown again before you pay.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.

Every figure above was computed for London to Seoul on 17 September 2026: 9123 km of route against 8857 km in a straight line, 24 services a day, 4 operators a cheapest fare of €642.06, and 15h door to door on the fastest mode. The return direction is computed separately and its numbers are not these numbers.

Being on the water gives Seoul a set of days out that do not start at a station. We do not sell those either.
