Saipan–Three charter flights from South Korea are scheduled to arrive on Saipan during the Chuseok holiday next month, the Marianas Visitors Authority announced today.
Operated by Jeju Air, the outbound flights from Busan are scheduled for Oct. 2, 5, and 8, while the return flights from Saipan will depart on Oct. 6, 9, and 12.
The flights are expected to bring an estimated 510 additional visitors to the islands during the holiday.
Busan, Korea’s second largest city and a major coastal hub in the southeast, is well known for its beaches and international accessibility.
Chuseok, which means “Autumn Eve” in Korean, is a Thanksgiving holiday marking the harvest festival that lasts for three days straight, from Oct. 5 to 8.
In addition, passengers will also be able to get the most out of their visit with the help of the updated Marianas Guidebook launched on Sept. 18 by the tourism office in Korea.
The guidebook introduces major attractions and hidden gems across Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, along with recommendations for marine sports, adventure activities, culinary experiences, and more.
“We are pleased with the partnership of Jeju Air and Hana Tour in organizing these three extra flights during Chuseok, and we look forward to warmly welcoming our visitors from the Busan region,” said Jamika R. Taijeron, MVA managing director.
“At the same time, we’re excited to begin distribution of our updated Marianas Guidebook, designed to help Korean travelers plan their itineraries with ease and discover the many charms of the Marianas, whether that be our pristine natural environment, a wide range of outdoor activities, or world-class resorts," she added.
The Busan charter flights are an exclusive product offered through Hana Tour, designed as a package that includes flights, hotel accommodation and guided tours.
