Korean Air is offering return flights to Amsterdam, Netherlands for $1144 or Prague, Czech Republic (aka Czechia) for $1168 return in February & March. All flights include bags, meals and seats. What makes this flight great is that you get a free 1 night stay if your connection in Seoul is longer than 6 hours.
Details:
To get the free hotel stopover:
- A passenger with a transit time of 12 hours or longer.
- A passenger with no connecting flight on the same day but the transit time is for 6 hours or longer & less than 12 hours.
- Or the arrival at Seoul is from 24:00 to 03:00 am & the transit time is 6 hours or longer & less than 12 hours.
- A Hotel Day use policy is available during a day transit in Seoul for connections 9 hours or longer & less than 12 hours
- A Lounge Access policy is available during a day transit in Seoul for connections 6 hours or longer & less than 9 hours.
- If you don't qualify for accommodation you can do free day tours
So all depends on the stopover. In this example, the connection time is 6 hours, 55 minutes would only get you a lounged access. This example is a 20 hour stopover which is perfect to check out the Seoul (arrives at 6PM, out at 2PM the next day).
