Book Your Ticket on Korean Air

1. Book your ticket online at Korean Air's Web site (see Resources below). The Web site has good English translations and easy-to-follow directions. You can even check-in online and save time at the airport. Or, you can call them on their toll free reservations line: 800-438-5000

2. Choose which class you'd like to travel. Economy class is the cheapest, and still comfortable; but the 2006 Travel Choice Awards awarded Korean Air the best "First/Business Class Airline."

3. Book your ticket through a travel agent. Your personal travel agent will be very familiar with the airline. Major online travel agencies also cater to Korean Air and can find the best deals for you.

Choose a Destination for Your Korean Air Flight

1. Fly to or from South Korea and most of the world's major cities. If you're flying into Korea, most likely you'll be arriving at Gimpo International Airport.

2. Fly domestically to elsewhere in South Korea. There are 14 different Korean destinations to choose from.

Choose a Departure City for Your Korean Air Flight

1. Take a flight from most of the world's major cities. Korean Air does not offer services to or from Africa or South America, but major international airports in most other regions will have Korean Air available.

2. Fly from Korea. Gimpo International Airport is the main hub of Korean Air. Most international flights will leave from there. Departing from most other Korean cities will limit you to only domestic flights.

Tips & Warnings

• Korean Air suggests you arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to your departure time to avoid any trouble.

• Take advantage of Korean Air's 2-time award winning in-flight catering.

• Check out Korean Air's very good mileage program, Skypass.

• Check out Asiana Airlines, Korean Air's main rival in domestic and international flights. By comparing prices, you'll find the best deal. Both airlines have an English Web site.

• The check-in counter for a flight to or from North America will close 60 minutes prior to the flight's departure time.

• For an economy class ticket, 2 pieces of baggage 23 kilograms (50 pounds) or less will be permitted without any charge. Baggage in excess of this amount will be subject to fees. Business- and first-class tickets have larger limits.
