This is a review of:
Air Busan BX8809 / OZ8809 (Air Busan is part of Asiana)
On 2024-10-02
From GMP Seoul Gimpo airport
To PUS Busan Gimhae airport

It's a 10:00 to 11:00 flight, only one hour, so I paid cash for economy class. To be exact, I paid ₩43600, which equates AUD $47.5 / USD 31.82 / 29,35 € , and it comes with 15 kg checked bag.

Can you imagine QF or VA charging us $50 for a one hour journey? 😂

Here it is, just landed, rolling to our gate to offload the passengers, then do the BX8809 to take me to Busan.

This is an A321-200

This is 3-3 seat layout.

I'm 170 cm, and it feels roomy, for my legs, and my feet. It feels very good for a low cost airline, even maybe better than many full service airline.

The seat had sufficient lumbar support, enough padding, much better than Jetstar and VA.

It left on time and arrived on time.

There was no inflight service, just sit down, shut up, and hang tight. Guess this is what happens on an one hour journey.

I'm happy to do this again at under AUD 50 especially with checked bag included.

Actually, the reason that this airline maybe useful, is that they also fly internationally, so someone could get a reward seat to somewhere in Asia, then fly Air Busan to Korea cheaply.
