New budget travel options in Korea

Those vagabonders funding their travels by working abroad in Korea, or those simply traveling through the country, will be happy to hear of Air Asia’s new service to Korea. Korea has rested infuriatingly outside of the budget travel loop for quite some time. However, in November of last year, Air Asia began offering flights from Seoul to Kuala Lumpur for around US$300 round trip. This opens up a lot of options for travelers, as Kuala Lumpur is a major travel hub in Asia and it’s easy to book cheap continuing flights to just about everywhere from there. Over the last few months the Air Asia service has grown to include flights from the Korean capital to Bali and Jakarta in Indonesia. Finally, leaving Korea no longer means dropping an easy $1,000. Get out there and start taking advantage of these deals!
