Dan & I flew from Seoul, South Korea to Tokyo, Japan last December on Asiana Airlines, our first flight on this carrier. Since we flew on Asiana Airlines, our Priority Pass permitted us entry into the Asiana Business Lounge, which was super nice and an unexpected treat before our flight. Note that we visited pre-COVID-19, and I am not certain of the Asiana Lounge’s current operations.

Seoul is the capital of South Korea, the lower portion of the Korean peninsula (the upper portion being North Korea). Seoul is a huge city located in the northwest part of South Korea on the Han River. I have been wanting to visit Seoul for a few years, and Dan and I finally pulled the trigger and visited for six days in November as part of a Seoul/Tokyo trip over our Thanksgiving holiday. I had a bit of a difficult planning our trip and figuring out what to see and eat, so here are the highlights of our trip, as two thirty-something American travelers who are certainly not experts on Korea! We loved our time, found Seoul to be a surprising budget destination, and we absolutely need to go back for the cherry blossoms!
