A combination of Japan’s Obon holidays and a harvest festival, Korea’s Chuseok break has begun and “a record number of travelers flocked to Incheon International Airport on the first day.” On Sunday, 114,746 passengers used the airport to depart, but the new record is expected to be broken again during the remainder of the 10-day Chuseok holiday season. Flights to Japan are especially popular with Korean Air reporting that “99 percent of its tickets to Japan have been booked,” while flights on low-cost carriers were snapped up long ago.
