"Though the global obsession with South Korea's cultural and tangible exports (K-pop, K-beauty, K-dramas) has helped transform Seoul into one of the world's most popular leisure destinations, you should know that belying these of-the-moment pleasures is a layered, complex history stretching over 2,000 years. Because if there's a single destination that embraces dichotomy, it's Seoul. As South Korea's capital and largest city, with 26-plus million people in the metropolitan area,"
"Incheon International Airport serves as the main international airport for South Korea's capital. Modern and efficient, it has plenty of food options, duty-free shops-you'll find all the big brands here, from Gentle Monster to Cartier-and even a spa so you can freshen up before or after a long flight. Major airlines are also making it easier than ever to get to Seoul."
"This year, following its acquisition of Asiana, South Korea's flag carrier Korean Air increased the frequency of routes from high-demand cities such as New York City (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX) to Seoul. After merging with Hawaiian Airlines last year, Alaska Airlines has emerged as the newest premium global airline. It's now offering five weekly nonstop flights to Seoul from its Seattle hub aboard its new Dreamliner 787,"
Seoul combines more than 2,000 years of history with contemporary cultural exports like K-pop, K-beauty, and K-dramas. The metropolitan area exceeds 26 million people across 233 square miles, split north and south by the Han River and divided into 25 distinct districts. Jung-gu includes Gwanghwamun, Myeongdong, and Sindang. Incheon International Airport serves as the primary gateway and offers extensive dining, duty-free shopping with global brands, and spa facilities. Major carriers expanded direct routes: Korean Air increased flights from New York and Los Angeles after acquiring Asiana, and Alaska Airlines now operates five weekly nonstop Seattle–Seoul Dreamliner 787 flights.
