How to get to South Korea from Russia summer-autumn 2022
We have been isolated from many countries for some time. Not all countries have direct flights, but Russians have the opportunity to travel to Korea.
Starting from June 8, 2022, South Korea lifted all restrictions related to COVID-19, introduced the possibility of entering the country with an electronic permit, and completely eliminated quarantine for Russians entering the country.
But what are the possibilities of flying to Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea, now, let's figure it out.
The main flow for treatment to South Korea has always been from the Far Eastern region, and we will mainly focus on them in this article, besides, we will also consider a flight through western Russia, which can be used by both Far Easterners and residents of the Western part.
The main point is that there are no direct flights from Russia at all, and direct flights to Seoul always originate from other countries. These can be (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Turkey, UAE).
We will look at all the pros and cons of the routes available today, and the choice is yours.:
