It’s the holiday season. Travel surprise, surprise. This episode is a ‘hot tip for air travel during the vacation season’ that you must know. Travel is what makes you comfortable when you know it. Memorize it.
1. Going to Japan? Hold the window seat on the right
One of Jin Air’s ‘smart travel tips’ recently released. It’s a good tip for your seat. Seats in high demand should be preempted in advance. These days, front seats and emergency exit seats are provided for an additional fee. There can be no trick. However, depending on the country you go to, there is a strange point where you can secure the right to view the scenery.
A typical example is Japan, where Koreans flock. For routes from Korea to Japan, you must preempt the right-hand window seat based on the flight direction. Reason? It’s because it’s a good view restaurant. Sitting here is advantageous for appreciating the coastline of the Japanese archipelago and Mount Fuji.
The return flight? It’s the other way around. Passengers sitting in the window seat on the left can see the dizzying scenery through the window.
Advance seat reservations can be made comfortably through mobile or website.
2. If I do this, it comes out quickly?
One thing I always hope for. pick up one’s luggage quickly. Of course, these days, it’s also quick, if you pay an extra fee. What if it’s just a normal case?
In this case, there is a way that recently emerged. It is highly reliable because it is a “honey tip” to find luggage quickly released by airport staff. Method? Simple. All you need to do is put a “fragile” sticker on your luggage, which means, “Please be careful with handling it because it is fragile.”
Foreign media such as Britain’s Daily Mail recently reported that an airport employee in the U.S. recently expressed his opinion through “Quora,” a sharing platform that provides knowledge and question and answer services, saying, “Most of the luggage with handling stickers is loaded on top of the luggage pile, so it is likely to be unloaded first when it arrives.”
Regular luggage is piled up in order on the cart. On the other hand, luggage that is at risk of damage is often loaded later than other luggage and on top. Of course, it means that it can be the first order when unloading after arrival. Katy Nastro, an airline industry official who delivers airline ticket pricing strategies and travel tips, also said, “In some cases, if you attach special tags such as handling precautions to your luggage, the system automatically classifies them first.”
In addition, it is better to remove or organize existing baggage tags to reduce confusion, and there is also a way to adjust the check-in time.
3. When is the cheapest flight ticket
The skill to buy a ticket that everyone is worried about. Let’s memorize it first. The reservation is on Sunday and the departure is on Thursday.
You can trust the results of the “2025 Air Hacks 2025” prepared by online travel agency Expedia and airline ticketing transaction company ARC based on big data on ticket sales. First of all, Friday is the most expensive as of the reservation date. On the other hand, if you book on Sunday, you can save up to 13% more money than on Friday.
Why is Friday’s reservation the most expensive? It’s simple. This is because prices tend to rise as ticket searches increase ahead of the weekend.
It is also worth paying attention to the difference in ticket prices depending on the day of departure. The conclusion of the report is as follows. That Thursday departures are the cheapest, and Sunday departures are the most expensive. Naturally, it is explained that the cost can be reduced by up to 8% just by choosing the day of departure well.
If you want to enjoy a leisurely trip? There’s a way for this, too. The conclusion is that Tuesday’s departure with relatively low crowds is ideal.
In fact, Tuesday was the quietest day of the week as of the departure date revealed in big data on ticket sales from January to October last year. In other words, if you prioritize prices, it may be a wise strategy to start on Thursday or Tuesday if you want to avoid congestion.
4. Tips for saving 100,000 won on package tours in Southeast Asia
If it’s a Southeast Asian package, there’s a tip to save about 100,000 won. As expected, it’s simple. You only need to change the day of departure. To tell you the conclusion, the departure between Sunday and Tuesday will be up to 100,000 won cheaper than other days of the same pattern.
Of course, there is a reason. Most Southeast Asian package travel patterns range from 3 nights and 5 days to 3 nights and 4 days. It is mostly Wednesday and Thursday departures. The price rises when demand is concentrated. Even if you look at the website of a travel agency, it is the same pattern and course, but Wednesday’s departure product is more than 100,000 won more expensive than the departure product between Sunday and Tuesday.
There is also a way to memorize things. It’s called the ‘Ilhwa’ formula. If you memorize the Southeast Asian package tour as ‘Ilhwa’, it can be a tip.
5. Safety check by country?
You have to do this and go. The Philippines is the most frequent place for gun accidents targeting Koreans these days. If you travel to the Philippines, of course, you must check the safety of each country and leave.
There is a way to find out the safety of each country in just one second. You can access the overseas safety travel site (0404.go.kr ) operated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. When the search box appears, enter the name of the country you are going to and it’s over. A map of each country appears, and warning lights appear by color. You can think of a traffic light for color. There is nothing difficult about it. It is easy to think that blue and yellow can travel, and red and black cannot travel. You should never go to a no-travel zone. Oh, I almost forgot. a red comb. Red combs are drawn in the Middle East, including Ukraine and Russia, where war is raging, as well as Iran and Israel. It can be regarded as a special alert. Again, consider it a travel ban.
