Cheap flights from Manchester to Seoul

November is the cheapest month shown, and fares are listed for every month of the year. Prices usually climb around school holidays and Christmas, so the months either side of those peaks are worth comparing.

Weekday departures can cost less than weekend ones, and an early or late flight can change the fare. Because the route always connects, leave enough time between flights and check whether your connection is protected by one ticket.

The mix on this route runs from large network carriers to regional and connecting partners, and no airline flies it nonstop, so every itinerary connects. Hainan Airlines, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Juneyao Airlines, Nordic Regional Airlines, Aer Lingus, Turkish Airlines, Air France, Finnair and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines all appear on the route.

What you get for the fare changes by ticket: some include checked baggage and meals, others charge extra. A single ticket usually protects the connection, while separate tickets leave you to solve a missed flight yourself. Check the fare rules before you pay.

You may land at either Gimpo International or Incheon International, so check the airport name before you plan the rest of the trip. Incheon is the long-haul gateway and sits further from central Seoul, while Gimpo is closer in.

Airport rail, buses and taxis are the usual ways into town, and the right choice depends on your luggage and arrival time. Watch for an airport or terminal change if your connection continues, and allow time for immigration and baggage collection.
