South Korea is now allowing visa-free entry through Yangyang International Airport from the new Clark International Airport (CRK). And passengers from CRK will soon have a direct flight to Yangyang International Airport (YNY).
South Korean low cost airline, Fly Gangwon, will be operating these flights starting June 25. Clark is Fly Gangwon’s first Philippine destination and only operates in CRK.
Travelers arriving through Yangyang International airport can visit Gangwon and Seoul City center for up to 15 days under the Visa Waiver Program with restrictions and must travel in groups of minimum of 5 or travel with 15 passengers for a cheaper package through a designated travel agency.
Filipino interest over Korean culture has evidently soared in recent years and South Korea has risen as a dream tourism destination for many Filipinos. Flying through Yangyang International Airport (YNY) will provide Filipinos the opportunity to experience the South Korean countryside with Naksan Beach just a stone throw’s away and to experience the bustling city life through a direct access to Incheon.
This is part of a visa-waiver program, which was reinstated after being suspended for more than two years because of the pandemic. Now that COVID-19 cases are dropping in South Korea, the country has decided to relax its border restrictions by exempting fully vaccinated visitors from mandatory quarantine starting June 1, 2022.
According to the Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD), which manages and operates the revitalized Clark International Airport, the New Terminal is more than ready to welcome the influx of passengers. Travel restrictions not just in Korea but also in other countries have been easing up.
Passengers from North Luzon, Metro Manila, and other areas may access the airport through available Point-to-Point arrangements and other transport alternatives.
The innovative terminal also allows passengers the peace of mind with its contactless systems. Self-check-in kiosks and self-service baggage counters are what passengers can expect at the new terminal.
