Day and a half stop over, what actually happens???

On our return trip,(see previous post) we are stopping over in Seoul for a day and a half. I have read elsewhere, conflicting reports of awful journeys to and from the hotel, and rubbish accommodation on this stop over. Is this true?

Will I need to have vast sums of ';indigenous'; money aboout my person to cover any unforseen eventualities that may happen, and is there time to actually see anything during this episode? has anyone else experienced this with Asiana Airlines, apparently you can take hand luggage.regards

Awful, it isn%26#39;t.

If you get taken into Seoul itself, which is likely, there are things to do and see, before you head back to the airport.

You will need what appears to be vast sums, since the normal bigest note is 10,000 Won (about UK拢5). Don%26#39;t change any cash here in UK- it%26#39;s a rip-off. Change at the airport in Incheon, or even your hotel.

Ask when you check in for your return flight about what to do at Incheon and ask for your baggage to be checked through. Then only take your hand baggage and make sure you have what you need in it.

The worst experience I had was a strike in Sydney delaying baggage loading, meaning we were 5 hours late into Incheon. Hence we went to Hotel June (near airport) as opposed to Royal Hotel in Seoul. An Ok though not brilliant experience. It snowed and we werre glad to get back to the airport.

In Seoul, if at Royal, go see Cheongye stream, visit a palace and have a meal out. Cost about 50,000Won for two max. Credit cards work if you%26#39;re chicken and try a western chain restaurant.

The hotel WILL feed you, but don%26#39;t expect great food.
