Travel alert! Seoul is opening its doors, and we are sprinting towards it. Before you grab the first flight to Seoul, take a step back and make sure all the preparations are set.

But, no worries, we got your back! This is a brief travel checklist you can use to help with your preparations for Seoul.

Before you hop on the first plane out, check the latest entry requirements below. If you need more information, refer to our Traveloka Travel Info & Requirements.

Flying time from Kuala Lumpur to Seoul will take around six hours or so if you take direct flights to Incheon International Airport (ICN). It can reach up to 20 hours if you are taking transit flights (don’t take transit flights, why are you torturing yourself?).

Some airlines offer flight tickets from MYR 900+ to MYR 4,000+, but the gap depends on whether you take direct flights or transit flights (again, stay away from transit flights). That’s the beauty of Traveloka; you can simply compare your prices simultaneously.
