Editorial snapshot
Busan rewards the traveller who books early for autumn and late for winter. Fares from Tokyo and Shanghai are genuinely affordable, and the city itself costs less per day than almost any comparable coastal destination in Northeast Asia. It suits the curious repeat Korea visitor, the seafood obsessive, and the beach-and-city traveller who wants both without compromise. The one catch: peak summer fares spike hard.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
September is the sweet spot for Busan: the monsoon has cleared, temperatures are crisp, and the Busan International Film Festival adds cultural energy. January and February offer the lowest fares but cold, dry weather. Avoid booking for late July through August without planning well ahead — summer beach season sends prices sharply upward.

Gimhae International Airport serves both domestic and international traffic across two terminals: the domestic terminal handles Korean Air and Asiana's intra-Korea routes, while the international terminal processes arrivals from Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and beyond. The airport is compact and efficiently run, with immigration queues that move faster than at Incheon. English signage is clear throughout, and the duty-free hall on departure is well-stocked with Korean beauty and food products.
