New Airline Brings Cheaper Vancouver–Seoul Flights This Summer
Travelers looking for affordable flights to Asia have a new reason to celebrate. T’way Air, a South Korean low-cost carrier, is launching nonstop service between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Seoul’s Incheon International Airport (ICN) starting July 12, running through October 18.
Four Weekly Flights and Lower Fares
T’way Air will operate four flights each week—on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Outbound flights depart Seoul at 9:05 p.m. and arrive in Vancouver at 3:25 p.m. local time. Return flights leave Vancouver at 5:25 p.m. and land in Seoul at 9:35 p.m. the next day.
With summer fares starting $50 to $100 lower than current competitors, T’way Air is set to shake up the Vancouver–Seoul route, where Air Canada and Korean Air have long dominated with higher prices.
Business Class Comfort at Budget Prices
T’way Air’s Airbus A330-300 features 347 seats, including 12 flat-bed Business Saver seats. Business travelers can expect adjustable headrests, extra legroom, personal power outlets, and individual reading lights. All passengers receive complimentary meals—two in Business Saver and one in Economy.
Growing Demand and Community Connections
This new route comes as demand for affordable, long-haul travel between North America and Asia-Pacific rises. Vancouver is home to Canada’s second-largest Korean community, with 93% living in the city. The addition of T’way Air brings the total weekly Vancouver–Seoul flights to 47, making travel more accessible for both families and tourists.
What Travelers Should Know
As a low-cost carrier, T’way Air offers great deals but may have stricter booking rules, especially for lower fare classes. Always check the fare details before booking your trip.
With T’way Air’s new nonstop service, flying from Vancouver to Seoul just got easier—and more affordable—than ever before.
