      TravelerWritten January 2026

      What would be the discount for honeymoon? And another question, can you quote the tour with international flights or can you suggest an airline that can move them from Osaka to Seoul?

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten January 2026

      Honeymooners: Valid for trips taken up to 3 months after the wedding date.

      Alan

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      What airline do you recommend to return them from Osaka to Seoul? Or by which transport do you recommend returning them to Seoul?

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten January 2026

      It depends on your clients' budget:
      Korean Air – Recommended if you prioritize comfort and reliability
      Jeju Air and Peach Aviation usually have the cheapest prices.

      Ferry + train (Osaka → Fukuoka → Busan → train to Seoul):
      There is a ferry from Osaka to Busan, but it can take many hours and is more complicated.
