Flying on the World's Busiest Route - Korean Air and Jin Air

I traveled to South Korea and flew between Seoul Gimpo and Jeju. There are about 155 daily flights, with over 40,000 passengers flying on this route each day which makes it the world's busiest air route.
My flight from Seoul to Jeju is operated by Jin Air B777-200. The staff at Jin Air wear jeans as the uniform. The flight time to Jeju was 50 minutes with the 390-seater B777. Once I landed in Jeju, I visited the island and tasted the famous Korean BBQ. I also did some plane-spotting in Jeju.
On the way back from Jeju to Seoul, I flew on Korean Air's new A220. It has all economy seating in a 2-3 configuration. Find out more from my video on why Seoul to Jeju is the world's busiest air route by far?

For the sake of your subscribers and viewers, you may want to create a short video letting them know of the issue at hand. Once such a video shows up, if they are smart enough, they will stop. Also, your viewers will know not to fall for such scam.

GMP - CJU is just like a bus route operated by planes. Actually, more frequent flights than most of the bus routes.

I spent 9 months in 1999 working in Korea. The first few months, the flights from L.A. landed at Gimpo. Then the new airport in Inchon opened and took over the international flights from Gimpo. Really happy to see that Gimpo has been modernized and is as busy as ever. I flew once per week between Seoul and Yosu, on the southern tip of Korea. Never got to Jeju (too much work). I loved my time in Korea. Wonderful people and food. Thanks for the video.

As a Korean Air maintenance technician, I'm really glad that you introduced our country's airports and airlines. In fact, 'Jin Air' is short version of 'Hanjin Airlines' which is affiliate of Hanjin Group in Korea (with Korean air).

[@kychoi2653]

Jin means originally 'progress'.. 進. and Hanjin(韓進) is the parent company name of Korean Air (大韓航空). Jin Air is a sibling LCC(Low Cost Carrier) of Korean Air. Because Korea's most representative alcoholic beverage soju brand, is 'Jinro眞(真)露' and its 'Jin' is from 'truth真' and every Korean adult knows that fact, so usually Koreans think of 'truth' when they hear 'Jin'. But in Chinese airports the name is shown as 真航空, So, I think that they have changed the Chinese name for marketing because every Korean thinks it is from 真 and it has more metaphysical meaning.

Just went in July on KAL. I could not believe how busy both GMP and Jeju were. Yet security and checkin are very efficient.

Flew Korean Air once on a leg from Seattle to Seoul. Flew on the 777-3 was amazing!! Korea is so cool I love the layout of Incheon

Living the life, Sam. I love it, keep it going

[@Haengbokkable]

Thanks Sam, the video is amazing. I like the combination between airlines and tourism review. I live in Korea for many years and I m still impressed with the accuracy of the domestic flights. Airports are very organized and systematic, passengers are very disciplined lead necessarily to high end service quality. Great nation, great Korea. Thanks again for the beautiful moments you shared from Jeju.

Great video, Sam. Juju is great, especially the resort areas on the southern coast. I’m glad to see Gimpo has been renovated. Last time I flew out of there was in 2001 when ICN was under construction and it looked nothing like this..

[@farangtravels3956]

155 flights everyday? That's crazy 😱😱

[@User-dkfjwkzvfrj]

It is only applicable to or from Seoul. There are even more flights if you include departures from other major Korean cities (Busan, Cheongju, Daegu, Gwangju).

[@connie0613]

Lolll! America is 29th on the list LAX JFK

[@farangtravels3956]

@@User-dkfjwkzvfrj Amazing 👍

[@grandmaster1984]

​@@connie0613 The US has the most flights and passengers though. Difference is that the US has numerous major cities whereas countries in Asia such as South Korea only have 1 or 2 major financial hubs; as a result, passenger traffic is going to be mainly between those two cities, whereas the US has it all spread out.

There are 3 airports around Seoul. ICN serves mainly for international flights, GMP serves mainly for domestic flights and some short haul international flights to China/Japan/Taiwan, and SSN is a military airport that serves head of state and diplomats.

[@YukiTora23]

SSN's "Seoul airport" is actually almost a nickname, because it won't be open to civilian as an airport unless there comes a big event like Olympics, World cups.
