Airline Promotions to Korea - Singapore to Seoul / Busan (Autumn 2013)

[Note: For Autumn 2015 travel deals, please refer to this page.]

The autumn season is soon to arrive again... other than spring, autumn is the next best time to visit the land of the morning calm.  Enjoy the beauty of the autumn leaves, the gentle cool breeze and the occasional chilly nights.  Savour hotpots, BBQs or fried chicken with beer.  Have a leisure stroll in the parks, palaces, university campuses or even the street of gangnam.  Have a sip of coffee at the theme cafes or some soju in the tentage street stalls.  Shop at the Dongdaemun wholesale centre, fashionable downtown Myeongdong or check out the Namdaemun traditional market.  There's just so much to do and never enough time.

Some airlines have started marketing and giving promotional airfares to the early birds.  Visit or subscribe to my blog to receive updates on airfare promotions.

Koufu
Get 5% rebate from the Singapore Food Festival (SFF) 2013 Nets Flashpay card or the McDonald's Flashpay card.  You can get these cards from the Transit Link office at MRT stations.  Because these are limited edition cards, there are separate charges to get these cards.  The promotion using the SFF card and McDonald's card is valid till June 2014 and March 2014 respectively.  A minimum monthly spent of $30 is required before you can enjoy the 5% rebate and the maximum rebate is capped at $10 per month.  Other than Koufu, the rebates can also be earned at selected merchants. Details are available from the Nets website.
