Budapest-Seoul direct flights resume three times a week

From 27 March, LOT flights between Budapest and Seoul will resume three times a week, says Airportal.hu.

From the start of the summer schedule, the Polish airline’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft will operate flights from Budapest to Seoul on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Flights will take off from Ferihegy at 12:25 local time and arrive in the South Korean capital at 6:05am the following morning.

Return flights depart from Incheon International Airport at 7:40 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and land at Ferihegy at 13:25.

The scheduled flight time to Seoul is 10 hours 40 minutes and two hours more on the return journey.

This restores the pre-epidemic schedule and, more importantly, the route will again be operated by a Budapest-based Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.

According to the data uploaded to the booking system,

the airline plans to operate three flights per week until the end of the summer schedule, with two flights per week currently scheduled for the winter season.

As you know, the Polish airline launched

its three-times-weekly direct service between Budapest and Seoul in September 2019.

Following the outbreak of the coronavirus in March 2020, LOT suspended the flight, but from 20 July 2020 it was restarted with a Warsaw-based aircraft once a week, and has since then been operating a stable service on Mondays.
