I am traveling to Phuket, Thailand from US with a hour and half layover in South Korea.?

Do I need to go through customs in South Korea or my final destination in Phuket ? Will a hour and a half be a long enough lay over to make my Phuket flight ? Do I need to claim my luggage in South Korea and re check it or will it just arrive in Phuket ? We are flying Korean Airlines.


In Seoul you will just follow the signs for transit passengers, no customs required. There is a security check though.

When you initially check in make sure you bags are checked through to your final destination. Then check the claim check the ticket agent gives you and see if it says Phuket on it. If not you must tell the guy to change it to Phuket.

Happy flying.

It should be plenty of time. Since you're flying the same airline all the way to Phuket, you'll receive boarding passes for both your flights when you check in at your departure city. Make sure your luggage is forwarded to Phuket and all you'll need to do is go from the arrivals area to the departure area and find your gate in Korea. You may have to clear security again in Korea, but that's about it. Just ask someone or follow the signs for transit or transfer, and no you don't need to clear customs in Korea as long as you stay within the transit and departure areas. You will definitely need to clear immigration and customs in Phuket though.

As you will be in transit at the airport in South Korea, there will be no need to go through customs there and your luggage will be all the way checked through to Phuket International Airport. Please note that even if you were to fly with a different airline from South Korea to Phuket then your luggage would still be checked all the way through to Phuket, Thailand.

Since you are staying on the same airlines you do not need to do anything. As long as you do not leave the secure area of the airport you do not need to go through customs.

Usually 1 1/2 hours is not enough time to make a connection on international flights, but since this was booked on the same company you should be fine.

Korean Air is a very good company and I enjoy their flights and service.

You won't have to do anything in South Korea. Your luggage will be transferred for you. You will go through customers in Phuket, not South Korea.

Enjoy Thailand and be sure to go for a facial at the mall in patong. It is pure bliss, even for boys.

Also just be sure to keep your witts about you when going in to bars etc. I got caught out and had to pay £ 70 just to get out of a bar. It does not happen alot but sometimes the girls will ak you to by them drinks and when you do they charge you like £20 a drink. So just be careful.

I have made that connection, you are good.

No luggage claim, bags will follow directly to your next flight
