First experience with Gangwon Airlines in South Korea

South Korea’s Gangwon Airlines resumed flying at the end of last year. It seems that not many friends know about this airline. The rich man will introduce it a little bit. South Korea’s Gangwon Airlines (Fly Gangwon) is a Korean regional airline. It was established in 2016 and is headquartered in Gangwon. Road to Xiangyang County. Gangwon Airlines is mainly engaged in domestic routes in Korea. Recently, it also provides services to foreign countries such as Yangyang in South Korea to Taoyuan in Taiwan, Narita in Japan, Hanoi in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam and other major cities in Asia.

Update 2023/6/1: Jiangyuan Airlines has currently grounded its flights to Taipei, and it is uncertain when flights will resume.

The time booked by the rich wife is from April 3rd to April 9th, which is during the Qingming holiday. The price is NT$7,282 for adults and NT$6,040 for children. The fare includes 15 kg of checked luggage. The flight time is not a red-eye flight. It takes off from Taoyuan Airport at 12:55 noon and lands at Xiangyang Airport at 4:25 pm. The rich man thinks the price is quite affordable.

The e-ticket confirmation letter received after successful booking (title is플라이강원), there are a lot of unintelligible Korean (laughs).

Arrived at waiting area B9 according to the scheduled time, it seems that there are very few people taking Gangwon Air today.

The type of aircraft flying from Taoyuan to Xiangyang is an Airbus A330 large aircraft.

Each row of Economy Class has 8 seats (2 + 4 + 2).

The rich man thinks that the distance between the seats is quite wide. The standard height of the rich man is 166 cm. When he sits, his knees are about 15 cm away from the seat in front of him. It is quite spacious and comfortable to sit on.

It's a pity that the screen on the back of the seat is blocked by an iron plate, and the entertainment facilities on the plane are not yet open for use.

The "Passenger Entry Declaration Form" issued by the flight attendants on the plane is in the "Korean" version, which is completely incomprehensible (laughs), but because there are very few passengers on Gangwon Air, the flight attendants are very patient for each passenger. Explained and assisted in filling out, hoo ~ finally finished it, but in fact there is an English version near the luggage carousel at the airport, and the rich man got the Vietnamese version when he was in a hurry (laughs).

The first time I took Gangwon Airlines, I took a photo to commemorate the ticket.

experience

There are very few passengers on Gangwon Air. This round-trip flight only has about 30% passengers, which is quite a lot of empty seats. Friends who like Korea can give them a lot of support and don’t let them lose money. There are currently no duty-free items to buy on the plane, so you can take a good rest and prepare for a good sprint after getting off the plane (laughs).

In fact, the most fearful thing about flying this type of low-cost airline is the temporary flight change. Once the hotel and itinerary are changed, it will be very troublesome. The rich man also experienced this feeling this time, so he spent some time before departure.
