Flying to the UK from South Korea
Korean Air and Asiana Airlines both fly non-stop between Seoul Incheon and Heathrow, alongside British Airways.
Whichever route you take, RushXO tracks your flight in real time — if customs and baggage take longer than expected after a long journey from South Korea, your driver adjusts automatically at no extra charge.
Popular routes for South Korean travellers
- Heathrow to Central London — hotels around Mayfair, Westminster, Kensington and the City.
- Heathrow to your university or business address — ideal for South Korean students and business travellers arriving for meetings, conferences or term start.
- Heathrow to a second UK airport or onward connection — if your trip continues to Manchester, Edinburgh or elsewhere, we can plan the connection with you.
Fares are fixed and confirmed before you fly — no meter, no surge pricing, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Before you fly: visas, currency and practical tips
As a visa-exempt passport holder you will typically need to arrange a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before you fly. Requirements have changed in recent years and vary by nationality, so always check the current rule for South Korea passport holders on the official gov.uk website before you book.
The UK currency is the pound sterling (GBP), not the South Korean Won (KRW). Card payments are accepted almost everywhere in London, but check with your bank about foreign transaction fees, and confirm the current exchange rate closer to your departure date rather than relying on an old figure.
Seoul-Heathrow flights are long overnight services — many South Korean visitors prefer to head straight to their hotel to rest, so let your driver know if you'd like the quietest route rather than the fastest one.
