Day 1
Flight from Gimpo to Jeju

Gimpo International Airport

Airport
🔸️Ask your hotel in or around Seoul to provide hotel cab to Gimpo airport since flights to Jeju are very early in the morning. And kakao taxis might delay.
🔸️Also, flight bookings were tedious as international cards were not getting accepted.
🔸️Also, some people might face issue of names mismatching flight booking and that on your passport (if you have a middle name) - korean flight booking websites jumble up formal names ( happened to a friend)
