Bamboo Travel Welcomes Virgin Seoul Flights Announcement

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - April 24, 2025 - PRLog -- Asia specialist Bamboo Travel has welcomed Virgin Atlantic's announcement, that it is to commence a daily direct service from London Heathrow (LHR) to Seoul, from 29th March 2026.

Comments Robin Ball, Director of Bamboo Travel: "The Virgin announcement is great news for South Korea, which is one of our fastest growing destinations, thanks in part to the explosion in Korean cultural scene.

"We offer lots of different experiences in Korea, from guided hikes in Seoraksan National Park or climbing Mount Halla, to visits to street food markets or even learning to dance like a K-Popstar!

"One of our more unusual experiences, is a guided tour of the de-militarised zone (DMZ) on the border with North Korea."

Bamboo Travel offers a choice of six different itineraries to Korea, from 11 to 16 days in duration, plus a two-week trip combining South Korea with Japan.

Highlights of South Korea: 11 days from £3775 pp

The 11-day Highlights of South Korea is a compact itinerary which serves as a comprehensive introduction to the Land of Morning Calm; the private tour begins in the buzzing capital Seoul and finishes in the southern second city of Busan.

En route you will experience a quieter, more traditional side of the country in Andong, and spend a couple of days exploring in depth Gyeongju – the 'Museum without walls'.  The holiday – which is ideal in September or October – costs from £3775 pp (two sharing).  This includes flights with Virgin Atlantic, all transportation on a private basis, eight nights' B&B, activities/entrance fees, and a guide.

Adventure Korea: 12 nights from £4620 per person

The 12-night Adventure Korea (https://bambootravel.co.uk/tours/adventure-korea) takes in some of the country's most exciting landscapes, and has plenty of opportunities for outdoor activity, depending on personal preference, and can be adjusted to suit those who wish to explore at a more sedate, or action-packed pace.

There are still a wide variety of excursions included, meaning there is no missing out on Korea's array of cultural and historical treasures.  Beginning in the capital Seoul, the itinerary passes along the rugged east coast through the Seoraksan National Park.  Next, head south with three nights to discover volcanic Jeju island, followed by two nights in Busan and a stay in a Buddhist temple.  The holiday costs from £4620 per person (two sharing) which includes flights with Virgin Atlantic,  all transportation, activities/sightseeing/entrance fees and guides.
