One-Way Fares by Route
The routes and one-way fares included in this sale are listed below. All fares are one-way from Japan and are shown as totals that include fuel surcharges and taxes.
To Busan
- Shizuoka to Busan: ¥14,750
- Sapporo (New Chitose) to Busan: ¥16,350
- Tokyo (Narita) to Busan: ¥17,660
The cheapest route is from Shizuoka, at under ¥15,000. For travelers in Shizuoka Prefecture and nearby areas with easy access to Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport, this is a good chance for a quick trip to Korea. Fares from Sapporo (New Chitose) and Tokyo (Narita) are ¥16,350 and ¥17,660. That is ¥1,600 and ¥2,910 more than the Shizuoka fare, respectively. Travelers from Hokkaido or the Tokyo area can still reach Busan within this price range, with fuel surcharges and taxes included.
To Seoul (Incheon)
- Tokyo (Narita) to Seoul (Incheon): ¥19,360
For Seoul, the sale includes only one route: Tokyo (Narita), at ¥19,360 one-way. That is ¥1,700 more than the Narita–Busan fare (¥17,660), but still under ¥20,000 with fuel surcharges and taxes included. It is worth comparing as one option for flying from the Tokyo area to Seoul.
What the Fare Includes and Excludes
These sale fares include fuel surcharges and taxes. On international flights, these costs are often added on top of the base fare. Here, the displayed price works directly as a guide to the ticket cost, which keeps things simple.
On the other hand, checked baggage is not included. If you plan to check a suitcase, you will need to pay a separate baggage fee. On trips to Korea, luggage often grows on the way home because of souvenirs. Even if carry-on is enough for the outbound flight, you may need checked baggage for the return. Before booking, check the baggage rules and additional fees on the official website and compare the total cost.
Coupon for Up to ¥4,000 Off Add-On Service Bundles
Alongside the sale, Air Busan is distributing a coupon for up to ¥4,000 off add-on service bundles. Checked baggage is not included in the fare. If you plan to check bags, review the bundle contents (such as whether checked baggage is included) together with the coupon terms. The discount is stated as up to ¥4,000, so the actual amount may vary depending on the bundle and conditions. For details on how to get the coupon, its terms of use and its validity, please check the latest information on Air Busan’s official website.
Check the Booking and Travel Periods
The sale runs for one week, from October 1 to October 7. As of this article’s publication on October 5, only three days remain. The travel period is October 1 to December 31, but dates that have already passed cannot be booked. In practice, the sale covers flights from the booking date through the end of the year.
The travel period includes the autumn travel season, the Christmas season in December and the year-end holidays. Demand tends to rise toward the end of the year, so if you have specific dates in mind, check seat availability early. Also note that sale fares may not be available on every flight or date. Shifting your dates slightly when searching may help you find them.
Things to Check Before Booking
- The listed fares are one-way from Japan. If you plan a round trip, check the return fare separately.
- Sale fares may have limited seats. Some dates may not be offered or may sell out early.
- When booking, check the fare rules, such as whether changes and refunds are allowed and what fees apply.
- Check the latest entry requirements for Korea before you travel.
Who This Sale Is Best For
- Travelers in Shizuoka and nearby areas considering Busan as a nearby overseas destination
- Travelers from Hokkaido or the Tokyo area looking for Busan flights priced with fuel surcharges included
- Those who can travel light with carry-on baggage only
- Anyone planning a short trip to Korea between autumn and the end of the year
