Flight Deals from Austin to Seoul from $660

The route from Austin to Seoul covers about 6,960 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the trip requires a connection.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no direct flights from Austin to Seoul. The shortest connecting routing is on United Airlines via San Francisco, at 17 hours 25 minutes total (3 hours 52 minutes to SFO, a 58-minute layover, then 12 hours 35 minutes to Seoul), with American Airlines via Dallas/Fort Worth close behind at 17 hours 45 minutes.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

From Incheon International Airport (ICN) to central Seoul, the AREX Express train is the fastest option at just 43 minutes from Terminal 1, while the all-stop AREX train takes 59–66 minutes and is the most budget-friendly at ₩4,150–4,750. Airport limousine buses (₩16,000–17,000) offer direct drop-offs at major hotels and areas, and standard taxis cost roughly ₩47,900–66,400 including tolls, with international taxis available for language support. The AREX train, whether express or all-stop, is the most heavily used mode for its speed, reliability, and cost, and ride-share services are limited while car rentals are generally not recommended for city-center trips.

Average fares from Austin to Seoul bottom out around $387 in late January, with January, October, and February the cheapest months overall at $406, $408, and $410 respectively. The most expensive stretch is early July, where average fares climb to $489, and July as a whole is the priciest month at $484.

Methodology

Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.

There are no nonstop overnight flights from Austin to Seoul, but connecting red-eye itineraries are available via the West Coast. United and Asiana operate overnight legs from San Francisco to Seoul departing around 11:20–11:45 PM and landing in the early hours around 4:20–4:25 AM, and Asiana also runs an overnight leg from Los Angeles departing 11:00 PM and arriving around 4:10 AM, each connecting from a United flight out of Austin.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Austin to Seoul has no nonstop service, so travelers connect through US or Canadian gateways. United Airlines offers the fastest routing via San Francisco at 17h 25m, and also connects through Newark. American Airlines routes via Dallas/Fort Worth, Alaska Airlines via Seattle, Asiana Airlines via Los Angeles or San Francisco (often on United or American for the domestic leg), and Air Canada via Toronto. United and American operate the most frequent connections, with around 10 and 14 daily options respectively.

Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, along with licensed taxis, pick up from the dedicated area under the Consolidated Rental Car Facility behind the Red Garage, with typical downtown fares around $30–54 and travel times of 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Driving and parking are also options, with short- and long-term garages and lots available at various price points, and the airport is about a 20-minute drive from downtown. Ride-share or taxi is generally the fastest and most popular choice, while the bus is the most economical.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
