Cheap weekend getaways to Korea's most popular island herald a great start to the lunar new year. Consider this a timely addendum to our article on how to travel to Jeju Island on a dime.
As a special lunar new year sale, Korean budget carrier Jeju Air announced today that it will be offering flights from major Korean cities to Jeju Island for ₩10,000 (approximately US$8) each.
The sale is in commemoration of the airline’s seventh anniversary.

The event will run from February 1-7 and will apply to flights from Gimpo, Busan, Cheongju.

The airline’s "1+1 event," offers two flights for ₩29,000.
Tickets can be bought online from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. every day until January 13 and applies to Busan-Jeju and Gimpo-Jeju routes.
