SkyTeam partners KLM and Air France are selling cheap flights to South Korea from Germany, Hungary, Denmark, and the Czech Republic. Prices start at merely €386. Luggage, however, is only included for status holders. Otherwise, you can select the fare that includes luggage for a surcharge of roughly €80.
We strongly recommend booking directly on KLM’s website so that you can communicate directly with the airline in the event of irregularities. There, all tickets departing by June 30 can even be canceled free of charge. However, it may take a few weeks for the refund to be processed. Alternatively, you can rebook without having to pay a rebooking fee, but still having to pay a possible price difference.
Our calendar shows all available dates and can redirect you to KLM’s booking site:
- Hamburg: €386
