Daily flights from Niigata Airport to Seoul Incheon from June!

For those of us living in areas outside big airport hubs like Tokyo or Osaka, international travel can sometimes feel a little limited. Because of that, I was pretty excited to see news this week that Korean Air will increase its service between Niigata and Seoul to daily flights from June! I think it's a great thing for both the foreign community in Japan and locals alike.

It's been quite a while since the last time I visited Korea, but with more connectivity I'm hoping to change that!

Currently, flights between Niigata Airport and Incheon International Airport operate three times a week, but from June 1st the route will expand to seven round trips weekly. I'm genuinely contemplating a Seoul trip if the prices aren't crazy to do some K-Beauty shopping and enjoying the food and culture of the city!

If you live in an area outside Tokyo/Osaka, does your regional airport offer much in the way of international flights?
