Star Alliance member Lufthansa currently offers attractive business class tickets from Birmingham, Edinburg, Glasgow, and Manchester, selling roundtrips to Seoul for as low as £1,004 (~€1,155). These flights include a layover in Munich or Frankfurt. There’s almost daily availability until December.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
- Birmingham: £1,004 (~€1,155)
- Manchester: £1,010 (~€1,162)
- Glasgow: £1,013 (~€1,165)
- Edinburgh: £1,068 (~€1,229)
Flights from London are sadly not available at a discounted price. All possible connections feature a short-haul flight in Lufthansa’s European Business Class, which is basically their economy hard product with a blocked middle seat and better catering. Flights from Munich to Seoul are operated using an Airbus A350, featuring a 2-2-2 seating configuration in business class. A comprehensive review of Lufthansa’s business class can be found here:
