South Korea – Jeju Island
May 2, 2019 – May 30, 2019
Day 1 – Seoul
May 3, 2019
We had booked a plane for the wrong date to Jeju Island. Therefore, we used the subway to travel from the Incheon Airport to the Domestic Gimpo Airport and tried to ask all the different agencies to see if they had any open seats for a flight to Jeju. Every single agency said that the next opening was probably the next day, so my older sister arranged with her boyfriend to choose a time and agency for the departure the next day.
The next opening for a flight to Jeju was planned for May 4th at 8:30 pm—where check-in began at 6:30 pm and boarding time began at 7:15 pm. As such, we stayed at the LOTTE Hotel across the street from the International GIMPO Airport, which had a mall connected to it, after we left the airport.
Day 0 – Flight Columbus -> Detroit -> Seoul
The Delta Airplane that will fly from Detroit to Seoul-Incheon Airport. Boarding time began at 1:00 pm Eastern Pacific Time – New York, and departed at 1:55 pm (same time zone) for a twelve and a half hour flight.

The flight arrived at Seoul’s Incheon Airport on May 3rd, 2019 at 4:25 pm (South Korean Time). Supposedly there is a lot of air pollution, so face masks are suggested; however, the face mask I had was difficult to breathe in so I took it off.
