A same-day Seoul trip: yes or no? Tell us if you've done it
Posts about day-tripping to Seoul from Japan are showing up on social media: fly in on a morning flight, fly home at night. Here is what people usually say about whether it is worth it.
The "yes" camp
- No hotel costs
- With a narrow goal, cosmetics shopping and a good meal are very doable
- Handy for people who cannot stay overnight because of work or family
The "no" camp
- Airport transfers and immigration mean less usable time than you think
- One delayed flight can wreck the whole plan
- Tiredness makes your shopping decisions sloppy
Prep people often mention
- Keep your plan to areas close to the airport or easy to reach
- Check opening hours of the shops you want in advance
- Travel with carry-on only and watch how many liquids you buy
- Treatments or anything needing a booking are best left out of a tight schedule
Have you ever done a day trip to Seoul? Keen to try, or is one night the minimum for you?
