Fly Into a Regional Airport, Save Up to 240,000 Won - Airport Corp Launches Coupons for Chinese and Japanese Travelers

Korea Airports Corporation, with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, has launched three promotions to draw foreign tourists to regional Korea (Asia Economy Daily). The centerpiece is airfare discounts: from September 7 to November 6, Japanese travelers can get up to about 240,000 won off per person on all Japan routes to Gimpo, Gimhae, Jeju, Cheongju and Daegu via Trip.com's Japan page, while Chinese travelers get coupons worth up to about 210,000 won through Ctrip, timed to the National Day holiday rush.

The package also promotes filming locations of the Pohang-shot drama 'Spring Fever' on TripAdvisor Japan and supports domestic routes tied to the Yeosu World Island Exhibition. If you are planning a trip from China or Japan, the takeaway is simple: **check the platform's coupons before you pay for your flight.** Choosing a regional-airport direct flight over Incheon saves you the discount - and the transfer time through Seoul on top of it.
