Great news if Korea is on your travel hit list this year, because one of South Korea’s top budget airlines, Jeju Air, has just launched a new direct flight route from Singapore to Seoul’s Incheon International Airport. While there’s already no shortage of non-stop budget flights between the two locations – namely via Scoot and T’way Air – this new addition by Jeju Air provides K-crazy Singaporeans even more options to choose from, and is set to give its competitors a good run for their money.
Prior to this, there was only one non-stop service operating between Singapore and Korea via Jeju Air – from Changi Airport to Gimhae International Airport in Busan. While Busan is also a highly popular travel destination, its Korea’s capital that draws in the largest crowds, thanks to its array of cute cafés, amazing street eats, cosmetic stores and – dare we say – oppa sightings.
The first flight commences on July 25 and Jeju Air is currently running a launch sale till March 31, with prices for trips between July 25 to October 26, 2025. According to a recent Facebook post by Jeju Air’s official account, the total cost of one-way flights starts from $245. So assuming you get to secure the lowest possible prices both ways, you can rejoice in forking out less than $500 ($490, to be exact) for a round trip.
This pricing – under the airline’s Flybag category – includes 10kg cabin baggage allowance and 15kg checked baggage allowance.

Flights operate daily both ways via Boeing 737-800 aircraft, departing from Changi Airport at 2.20am and arriving in Incheon Airport at 10.10am – a total flight timing of almost seven hours. Returning flights embark from Seoul at 8.05pm and land in Singapore at 1.20am, with a slightly shorter flight timing of six hours and 15 minutes.
If you’re a traveller of comfort and can’t stand the thought of being squeezed into a row of three as per the airplane’s configuration for standard seats, make a top-up for Jeju Air’s Business Lite category, where you get wider seats in a two by two arrangement. This also comes with priority boarding, 30kg checked baggage allowance, advance seat selection and an in-flight meal.
