By Flight from Seoul / Busan
It's only in Korean and I'm afraid you need a Korean friend to assist you for booking the ticket. It's a budget flight like AirAsia.

Great info on Korea.
I'm planning to go Seoul/Busan/Jeju next year. Well, I know you never been to Jeju. Do you have any friends been there? I would like to know the passenger fare? I googled but i couldn;t find any correct answer.
TQ!
Most of my friends who had been to Jeju went with tour groups so the fare was included in the total package.
But, I will try to find the info from my Korean friends. ^^
I would to ask your opinion. Which is the best way to travel to Jeju? By KTX/Ferry via Mokpo or flight? Im a budget traveller.
Here is my tentative schedule:
1st day: Go to busan by KTX (getting 5days pass). 2nights stay.
3rd day: Jeju. Take KTX- Daejeon-Seodaejeon-mokpo. From mokpo, taking ferry to Jeju. 2nights stay.
5th-10thday: Seoul. 5nights stay
I am hoping using KTX will minimise the travel time between cities. But on the 3rd day, im abit sceptical about the interchange between daejeon-seodeajeon and hoping can catch the 9am ferry from mokpo to jeju.
Is it practical to do this way? I hope you can shed some lights on this.
Big thanks!
Sorry for the late reply.
I've never been to Jeju actually and no experience of taking the ferry to Jeju either.
Althought the KTX Pass for 5 days is much cheaper from taking domestic flight to Jeju but you will lose out on travelling time.
Busan to Jeju by flight takes less than 1 hour but your journey from Daejeon to Jeju by KTX and ferry will take almost half a day.
Maybe you need to reconsider?
Yeap i can consider your idea. thats the thing, we're on budget. most probably will go by land.
now, i just need to figure out the ferry fare only.
Happy New Year to you!
Syukur sesangat jumpe blog you ni, banyak info :)
Do you know pasal accommodation budget kat Jeju? And servis for luggage locker ade x kt airport? Plan nk tggal je luggage kt Seoul masa pg jeju...
Thankss
I haven't had the the chance to travel to Jeju yet. but as far as I know of there are budget accommodation around.
Every airport has luggage locker but the rate is pretty expensive. I think mebi you can leave it at the guesthouse in Seoul instead. it's normally free if you plan to stay at the same guesthouse after u return from Jeju.
i nak tanye boleh ke kite book eastarjet to jeju?the fare cost is much more cheaper than jeju air.i've tried but not working.
what kind of issue that you encountered?
how to go to nami island from Jenju island. i plan to take flight to jeju island. after that, i plan to go to nami island.
i am not sure what is the best decision? should i fly back to seoul and take the bus tour from seoul to nami? or i can go straight to nami from jeju island?
No other way to Nami Island except
Jeju Island to Incheon airport - by flight
Then go to Nami Island by train or bus
It's all stated in Yeha's website.
