Prague to Seoul normally runs €600–€1,000 round trip. At €291 on Etihad — a proper full-service Gulf carrier with a well-run Abu Dhabi hub — this is one of the cheapest long-haul fares we've sent.

No checked bag on this fare. Factor that in if you're packing for a week, which most of these date windows suggest. Even with a bag fee added, you're still well under half the normal price for this route.

November and December in Seoul is one of the better times to visit. Autumn foliage in November is exceptional. The palace grounds and Bukhansan National Park turn orange and red in a way that's genuinely worth planning around. December brings the first snow and the city's Christmas markets, which are understated compared to European ones but charming in their own way.

Seoul is also one of the most efficient cities in the world for a first-time visitor. The metro covers everything, the food scene is overwhelming in the best way possible, and a week barely scratches the surface: Gyeongbokgung Palace, the Bukchon Hanok Village, Hongdae, Myeongdong, a day trip to the DMZ if you want the history, and Nami Island if you want to escape the city briefly.

A DMZ tour, a Korean cooking class in a traditional hanok, and a Bukchon neighbourhood walking tour all book out fast in autumn and early winter — worth reserving before you land.
