    I finally updated my Airport Guide with some BIG updates! If you have downloaded it in the past, have you found it helpful? I would love to hear your thoughts & I hope you enjoy the updated one! I think I added everything possible this time 🤭 { Check it out here: ko-fi.com/s/360972b2c3

    Just to note that when I filled out my arrival there I didnt need to write in hangul, you can just write the full romanized address of the place youre staying, or if its a hotel you can just write the city and hotel name. Incheon was a breeze, its so nice and efficient how they do things there
  • @JillianPlomin
    Hi Megan! I’m sitting in Korea right now for the first time - your videos and guides have been incredibly helpful in getting thru everything! Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your resources a lot!
  • @candlemcstick4024
    Thank you so much for the guiding vids! Our first time in Seoul now and we really love it, the food, the vibe, etc.
  • You are an ANGEL I was pretty confused about what stuff I need to fill out on board but you came through like the saviour u are
  • @bjmurphy34
    Thanks to this channel, I was over-prepared when I arrived in Korea today. I didn’t need the K-ETA, like Megan said. And they aren’t even checking Q Code anymore. The only things I needed to show were my passport and the arrival card, so it’s still important to know the address and phone number of your hotel.
  • @cynthiaevans6110
    I’m so glad I found your channel! Planning a trip for April’24. I’ll be studying your videos and guides! 🙂
  • @CarVivLie

  • @dennisheijnen6922
    Thank you for this video, I always like to be prepared so videos like these are perfect. Also great to know that it should be easy.
  • @paulele8220
    Oh Thank God, it sounds like they've gone back to how it was before Covid. Last time I went was in 2019, and I have been so worried that it'll be super complicated now, but your video really helped decrease my anxiety. And no customs form! Yay!  Thanks so much for creating such a comprehensive video!
  • I had to come and leave a comment, I went to Seoul during the pandemic for a study abroad so you would think that I wouldn't be nervous to visit Seoul again. Not the case! I get really nervous and this time I am going alone and, I just wanted to say thank you for your video! It has eased my anxiety and helped me to prepare! And of course, I'll be watching more of your videos!!

    Hello Megan. I watched a lot of your videos before taking my trip in May 2023. Thanks for all the directions and advice. The only quirky thing that happened was actually in the US when trying to depart from Logan airport in Boston. Although I had already filled out the K-ETA, and was approved, Logan required I show them a hard copy. Of course, I left the hard copy at home because Korea didn't require it. I did have the screen shot on my phone but what a pain to email it to the luggage supervisor so he could print it off.
