  • I want to visit the Pocheon Art Valley; which airport in South Korea is best?

    You have two options when flying from Manchester – you could fly into Incheon, which is the main airport in Seoul. Alternatively you could fly into Gimpo, which is also in Seoul, but has fewer flight options from Manchester. You would then need to hire a car to drive the 54 miles to Pocheon Art Valley.

  • What’s the best way of getting into central Seoul from Incheon International Airport (INC)?

    The easiest way of getting from Incheon into the city centre is to take the Airport Railroad Express train. This service runs directly from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 to Seoul Station.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight from Manchester to South Korea

  • South Korea has several international airports, but the main airport is Incheon International Airport (INC) just outside Seoul. This arrival airport is a good base from which to explore the north of the country. If you fly to Gimpo International Airport (GMP) in Seoul, you will have to make at least two stops.
  • Getting to the airport for your flight from Manchester to South Korea is easy. Just take a train from Manchester Piccadilly Station to the airport. The journey takes around 20 minutes and the station is centrally located in the airport. On the moving walkways it will take less than 15 minutes to get from the station to the terminal.
  • If you hire a car, please note that under Korean law it is mandatory to use a car seat for children under the age of 6. Check with your car hire company whether they have child seats as you may need to travel with your own.
  • If you don’t want to be stressed for time when catching your flight from Manchester to South Korea, take advantage of the Security FastTrack. This service is bookable up to an hour before your departure. This allows you to go through security via a dedicated lane and costs in the region of £5.00.
  • If you are travelling to INC with babies you’ll be happy to know that there are Baby Care and Nursing rooms located in all the terminals, with some located conveniently near Arrivals and at the check-in zones. These rooms contain space to change nappies and feed your baby in peace.

Flight on time, landed well ahead of schedule. Attendants were excellent and responsive

The crew was friendly, and the flight landed on time

Rude Iberia security crew at the Madrid terminal. No Iberia officials to be found to redress complaints at the gate. No supervisors. Nothing for processing upgrades at the gate Iberia app did not work to let me upgrade my options to higher classes. No water was offered on a hot day in Madrid. Madrid airport air conditioning was so weak that people were sweating. Never book on any airlines that codeshare with Iberia.

On a more than 8 hours flight was only one meal included, which I have never experienced before. Always two meals on the overseas flight. It was very weird.

Great if not for the boarding by bus at Heathrow terminal 3. Medieval disappointing time-consuming and very hard on handicapped flyers. It was awful

Positive: It was refreshingly easy and polite check-in and boarding staff. Flight was on time and Helsinki is a very well-signposted airport. Shopping was nice as well. Flight was not full and I had lots of space in economy. Flight was perfectly on time. Negative: Food and drink not very good, but that it is normal on any airline. Didn't expect anything else.

Business seating is soooo uncomfortable. You can sit straight up or lay down. You need pillows behind you because the back doesn’t lay down. Those are need to “prop” you up. The chair has no padding whatsoever. Food was gross. I’ve eaten on Finnair before and the food was exceptional. This time it gave 2 people in our party diarrhea. It was the chicken dish. I took 2 bites and didn’t eat anything more. The flight attendants were nice. You needed an additional lounge in Terminal D at DFW Airport. After waiting 40 minutes to enter, we finally gave up and went to a bar across from the club doors. I’m unsure if I’ll ever book a Finnair flight again.

It was a good flight, very comfortable seats for sleeping in business class. Probably the most comfortable business class seat I've ever had (20+ times in business class on various airlines). Service was good, but the only downside is my screen didn't work and it had to be reset multiple times to get it to shut off. I had to block my eyes because the screen was white almost the entire flight and I wore an eye mask when I slept. But when eating and reading in my seat, my eyes hurt because the only way to turn the screen off was reset it and the screen would only be off for a few minutes at a time.

Everything was wonderful! AirBus seats are more comfortable to sleep in as compared to the Boeing planes.

All reviews good because...flight from BWI to London ,economy seats was miserable. I usually book 1,step up from economy but this would have added 1500 bucks 1 way. Bit the bullet and upgraded for retun flight, otherwise all ratings would have been rock bottom.

Excellent experience with business class area. Staff was attentive and food was amazing. Only one bathroom for business class which was logistically difficult for the staff while preparing meals. Need to offer fluids with meals. I did not get enough water to drink. But overall I rate it 5 star.

Flight got cancelled for good (apparently due to jet fuel concerns), and we had to re-book to Hannover, Germany instead.

Food could of been a bit more premium, but everything was excellent. LOVED the innovative boarding drinks and terrific service!

Very bad boarding staff. I was flying business. We were stashed in a bus as much as it could be filled with business then economy passengers. By the time we have reached the plane we have waithed 10 more minutes inside the bus mext to the plane because of some documental work in the plane. I guess TGS -Turkish Airlines Ground Services forgot yo radio the plane if it was ready.

The seats seems abit small and the reclining is too much, the seat in front of me came back too much and made it uncomfortable for me.

Staff could have been friendlier and offered drinks more often

They have adopted a crazy "no paper boarding passes at all cost policy". We spent half an our at the checkin stall – my elderly mother and her grandchildren were flying. She had no phone reception for some reason (besides being an inexperienced smartphone user), the kids had dumbphones, And they still won't issue a paper boarding pass. We had to do a lengthy dance with getting the boarding pass SMS on my phone and transferring them to her phone via WiFi. This was horrible, honestly. I can't imagine how they could manage it without me being there. Trees (and airline profits) should be less important than people.

I was asked window seat on check in in Dar-es-Salaam. The person on the deck told me "yes, no problem", but gave me 10e and 25b seats! Better just to say "no"

Turkish Airlines inflight crew was very good, however the ground crew was not very helpful. I had booked a wheelchair for my mother from Islamabad and she received the service there, but then there was no chair on arrival at Istanbul. The wheelchair crew said that they declined to take any person without a reservation and declined to help with the arrangement of a reservation. I had to use the airport buggy system to transport my mother who has limited mobility and needs a wheelchair. It was very disappointing and I hope they can provide manual wheelchair access to the public by a need basis, as sometimes there is a mix up or technical fault in the completion of the process, as it was in our case. Also, there can be an emergent need for passengers if they have illnesses like hypertension or diabetes. My mother has both hypertension and diabetes and has residual weakness after a stroke, therefore, she needs assistance. I hope that this text will be taken seriously and the administration makes the necessary changes. Thanks.

Bad sitting every flight not good experience with food either

Basic flight. Great for something under two hours. Seats were a bit dated and uncomfortable

Flight was cancelled without notice or any reason given. I found out coincidentally when i was checking the baggage allowance on the app, When contacting the airline, the only option peresented to us meant we lost a day of our weekend getaway. Had a lot of contact with airline prior to flight, trying to get them to resolve the issue. We could have traveled the first stretch ourselves but the airline refused to accommodate this. The airline outright refused to be forthcoming in agreeing to alternatives that would let ut keep the date we had booked, and so a third of our holiday effectively vanished. This meant a lot of hassle, changing hotel nights, activities etc. Furthermore and after the flight, customer service refused to answer our complaint unless we used their very restrictive online form, which gave us no chance to properly explain what our issues were. They have of course denied our complaint, and so i have to bring the matter further. If you have an alternative airline to use, please do. SAS treats its customers as a necessary evil.

I feel the service staff do not treat American customers well. I also feel there may be discrimination against minorities.

Yes avoid JFK airport at all costs. A horror to navigate.

Nothing to answer your questions appropriately. It was just a 2hrs flight from London Heathrow and we were served a cup of tea only. So the questions about food aren't relevant and also, there's no entertainment on these short haul flights. Overall, the flight ✈️ was okay.

The connection time from the flight to Stockholm and the flight out of Stockholm was too short. Due to a knee injury, I almost missed the second flight. From deplaning at E5 to boarding at F69 takes more than 40 minutes.

Cancelled flight, wasn't refunded paid selected seats. Poor customer service. Called airline and they didn't realize the flight was cancelled until several hours after the email notice was sent.

It wasn't an AeroMexico connect but SAS, I dunno where that AeroMexico info came from. A word to the wise - do NOT get an international connecting flight into Eurooe at Copenhagen that has less than an hour layover between flights, or you'll never make it. You'll need to go thru immigration at the airport before catching your next flight, which takes some time, and then it could be a good half hour walk or more over to your next gate. Kayak lined up flights for us with only a 45-minute layover and it was literally impossible to make the nect flight ... I figured if their robots thought it woukd work it should be ok, but don't trust the robots! Had to wait for the next plane to make it to our destination.

Excellent crew members, but my seat and food wasn’t the best

All went smoothly. That's what I want on a long flight.

i have book the flight with baggage. and i have paid $800.00 for the baggage. when i contacted to JUSTFLY Costumer Service they told me that my baggage was included in the booking. then why i have to pay. i am going to file a complain against it. $800.00 is not at all small amount

They lost the baggage and said it was deleted from the system. I had baggage tag so was able to file the complaint but there was no PIR number and update so far

Very disappointed to not have lounge access The shorter flight seats were uncomfortable

I booked tickets for a family of five and specifically paid extra to select our seats together. We spent nearly $1,000 extra (around $100 per seat) for extra legroom so we could sit near each other. However, despite paying for this, we ended up being separated on the flight. This caused a major issue for our family because my parents do not speak English and rely on me to translate and assist them during the journey. I do not understand why Etihad changed our reserved seats without explanation. I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I expect the airline to do better, and I am requesting a full refund for the seat selection fees we paid.

Limit the number of usage of wine or please arrange our seats. The passenger was drunk on this flight and not on Thiruvananthapuram to Abudhabi.

1 hour delay meant missed my connecting flight and 1st day of holiday

Early arrival. Good boarding. Deplaning this flight is very slow both coming and going. Baggage arrived quickly for Pearson

Ethiad wanted to charge me $1100 for 2 checked bags on a ticket that was $550. Nother the airline or airfare assist was willing to help before arriving at the airport. All parties said it was the other responsibility to help. Never flying ethiad or using kayak again.

Good service. But on flight to Kochi no entertainment except in app. And no working outlets to charge phone.

It was great! Kept the time. Provided what was promised

Boarding was very good, crew attentive and friendly, seat size comfy, screen size nice. However, the seatbelt segment with the buckle is extremely short, which made fastening the seatbelt very complicated. Moreover, the bluetooth pairing of the audio system didn't work. It was not possible to have proper audio. The flight info software didn't work, too.

Everything was great…Flight Attendants were specially friendly and helpful.

Flight map did not work. Crew was great, food was good, plane took off on time and landed early. That's all I can ask.

Service and food were excellent. Incredibly friendly and competent staff. Flight was delayed over and hour and I had to run between terminals to get my connecting flight.

Paid for exit row at the back of the plane. Window seat with lots of leg space. Food was inedible (as usual). Brought my own.

Efficiency of staff, and comfort and cleanliness of aircraft was all great. Maybe a hot drink without payment at that time in the morning would be good!

very small seats screen did not work . I could not watch anything for 9 hours

The plane was late (as was my flight out from Birmingham the day before)

The flight was delayed by an hour. Made the connection uncomfortably tight.

The row of seats were so cramped it was difficult to get in and out of your seat. I even upgraded. A long flight and sad accommodations 😵‍💫 the shorter flight was very comfortable and the seating was spacious
