Lufthansa passengers can now conveniently check in for their flights at the Seoul Station City-Airport Terminal. They can check in their bags directly to their final destination and complete immigration procedures before arriving at the airport.
The German airline's first service from Frankfurt to Seoul flew on October 31st, 1984, with a stop in Anchorage, Alaska. This inaugural flight, aboard a B747, made Seoul the 128th city in Lufthansa’s global network. Seven years later, Lufthansa began flying directly from Germany to South Korea, further enhancing connectivity between the two countries.
From its modest beginnings with a stopover in Alaska, Lufthansa's presence on the Korean peninsula has grown significantly. For the first time outside of Europe, a partnership with Korean rail provider KTX offers an intermodal (Rail & Air) sustainable transport solution for passengers in Korea.
With this partnership, Lufthansa passengers can now travel to and from Seoul-Incheon International Airport (ICN) to eight KTX destinations nationwide, including Busan, Dongdaegu, Gwangju, Ulsan, Pohang, Yeosu, Mokpo, and Jinju, on one ticket. Passengers using our Rail & Air solution with KTX, as well as all passengers taking the AREX Airport Railroad Express from Seoul Station to Incheon International Airport, can now enjoy a seamless travel experience with Lufthansa. They have the convenience of obtaining their boarding passes, checking their bags at Seoul Station City-Airport Terminal, and completing immigration procedures before reaching the airport.
Lufthansa is the only foreign airline offering such services to passengers in Korea, making it a truly unique service launching today. Having recently announced 17 weekly frequencies between Europe and Korea, as well as the first direct connection between Seoul and Zurich, this new check-in facility at Seoul Station City-Airport Terminal represents Lufthansa Group’s commitment to Korea.
