Flying To Korea Take Two
 

Okay, here we go!!! Last year, I was supposed to fly to Korea but had to cancel due to a death in my family. I signed up to go this year and was selected a few weeks ago as I have a current passport, so I am once again flying to Korea. I leave this Saturday morning. I found this video about long haul flights, and I remember a lot of advice you all shared with me last time. The flight is 15 hours long. I have a neck pillow and compression socks to start with and will dress in some comfy clothes and slip on sketchers. Any other tips are welcome. I will be there for a week of sightseeing and hope to see some cool cars and other things and learn about Korean culture. Thanks for any tips.

2 million mile flyer here!
Get up and walk / stand every few hours!
And if at all possible fly Business or Premium Economy!!!
Oh, and drink heavily!

Ambien

I used to fly JFK>Beijing often, take an Ambien after the meal service... then wake up in Beijing.

Haha, no ambien for me, but I do have some generic unisom that helps me sleep. [emoji42] [emoji23]

I have no control over what seat or section I will have, so I will have to make the best of it.

I used to take eye drops, Systane, in the small break off applicators on the many long haul flights I found myself on:

The have a gel as well.

Then all the regular stuff: eye mask, noise cancelling everything, movies, tooth brush, etc.

Have fun!

All the best for the flight.

But when you get there, get stuck into the Korean BBQ pork.

Edit: Take a Phenergan or two plus a few drinkies and it will bowl you on your arse. Next thing you know you have landed in Korea.

Have fun! I just got back from spending a week there for work. Still had some amazing food and saw a little bit of the country, really enjoyed my time there.

All good stuff, thank y'all!!! [emoji4]

Gopchang is delicious at a Korean bbq.

Safe trip, please post up updates of your travels as Korea is top of my list of places to see

Say 'Hi' to Kim for us. :D

What airline are you flying?

All the guys here are full of siht and gave you bad advice. Here's mine.
find the stewardess with a nice behind (they all are very nice), give it a pinch or slap and point at the dude sitting across the isle from you. Works every time.

Have fun in Korea. I want to go there too.

Will do.

I've flown to and from to the Philippines four times since October.

If they offer sushi on the plane, don't eat it.

Sleep a lot.

Gaegogi and soju

KAL feeds you a lot! Eat in moderation. Ask the flight attendant for sightseeing tips off the beaten path.

Where are you going? Seoul, Busan? The gf is from Haeundae in Busan and says the beaches are beautiful. One of my friends who has a GT2RS was at the Park Hyatt in Busan and was amazed at the amount of supercars roaming the streets.

Will be in Seoul mostly.
