Flight route information

Cathay Pacific offers flights to Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN) from Melbourne Airport (MEL), with a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from MEL to ICN take around 14 hours, including the layover, and bring you to Terminal 1 in Seoul.

A brief introduction to Seoul

The largest city in South Korea, Seoul is a treasure trove of wondrous experiences for those who visit as it boasts ancient palaces, intriguing museums, and an appetising culinary scene.

We recommend starting your trip with a visit to Seoul’s Five Grand Palaces - Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung, Gyeongbokgung, and Gyeonghuigung. Spread across the Jongno and Jung districts, these historic monuments were built over 700 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty and offer a captivating insight into the history of South Korea. Near Gyeongbokgung Palace, you can find the ancient and quaint village of Bukchon Hanok, which dates back more than six centuries and features winding alleys and traditional Korean houses.

Seoul is also home to a renowned dining scene with plenty of tasty delicacies. Be sure to sample local favourites such as stir-fried seafood, ‘kimbap’ rice rolls, and ‘bulgogi’ (marinated beef barbeque). ‘Hoeddeok’ - a sweet and syrupy pancake dessert that is especially popular in the winter - is another must-try dish.
