General tips

♥︎ Stay at Seogwipo city instead of Jeju city... most attractions are there
♥︎ Take an airport shuttle to your hotel
♥︎ Kakao taxis are comfy and reasonable for all local destinations and day trips
♥︎ Carry comfy shoes for a lot of trekking, hiking
♥︎ Try the famous black pork (local bbq restaurants) and orange 🍊..famous of jeju

Day 1

Flight from Gimpo to Jeju
1

Gimpo International Airport

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)
