[Economy pick] "Didn't you make a reservation yet?"Next year's Chuseok flight ticket 'Spark'

"Did you make a reservation yet?"…Next year's Chuseok flight ticket 'Spark' Next year's Chuseok, there's a lot left. But I guess you're already making travel plans?

[Reporter]
If you look at next year's Chuseok calendar, you can't help but make travel plans. I prepared the calendar graphically. Next year's Chuseok is Monday, October 6th. In front of that, there is Hangul Day after National Foundation Day and an alternative holiday on October 8. If this happens, you can spend up to a week of golden holidays.

If you get a little more greedy here and use another day of vacation on October 10, you can actually have an autumn vacation where you can have up to 10 days off. There is also an interesting survey result with this wish.
I asked 2,600 adult men and women when they want the alternative holiday to be designated next year.

October 10th is number one.

[Reporter]
Six out of 10 respondents chose October 10 overwhelmingly. In these survey comments, there was also a reply saying that I want to rest when I rest. However, there was also a regretful answer that even if an alternative holiday is designated anyway, you can't take a break in succession.

How hot is the competition for airline tickets?

[Reporter]
Korean Air and Asiana Airlines can be booked from a year ago. As soon as the ticket reservation is released, the reservation procession is continuing hotly. Especially in the case of popular routes, tickets are sold out or ticket prices are soaring. Before I came into this studio today, I looked at the Chuseok flight ticket to Honolulu, Hawaii, and the earliest departure was on October 5.

Economy seats cost 1.6 million won. In addition, ticket reservations are made quickly or prices are slightly higher, focusing on popular resorts such as Guam and Bali, and European travel routes such as Rome and Prague. Let's hear from a travel industry official about how much travel demand is flocking to the Chuseok holiday.

[Jo Il Sang / Hana Tour's PR team leader: Tickets are still limited during next year's Chuseok holiday. Currently, there is a lot of interest and reservation around long-distance routes such as Europe.]

So the travel industry advises you to wait a little more slowly even if you failed to make a reservation this time. In the case of low-cost airlines, the flight schedule for next year's Chuseok holiday has not yet been resolved, so you can wait a little. Also, ahead of the Chuseok holiday, travel agencies have discounts on jeonse packages, so you can see it until next year.
