One prepaid plan covers Incheon arrival, palace visits in Seoul and a few days in Busan, for sightseeing or for visiting family. Save your accommodation address in Korean and English so a driver can find the exact building.

GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE, SEOULKeep your next stop within reach.Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul
01 / AIRPORT TO ACCOMMODATION

Seoul: keep your terminal and station separate.

Before you land at Incheon, note which terminal you arrive at and save your accommodation name in Korean. Both terminals put their railway facilities in a basement-level transportation centre, so check the map for your specific terminal before leaving arrivals.

Open the airport railroad guide to work out your connection, then use data to pull up the onward route and message your host. A station name alone won't fix a meeting point, so agree on an exit number or a nearby building entrance.

For a day at Gyeongbokgung, download the palace visitor information before you leave your room. Keep a saved hotel pin for the way back, and do app downloads on Wi-Fi so a small arrival allowance isn't spent on setup.

Save before you goTerminal map, hotel address in Korean, onward station and the exit you agreed on.

02 / HILLSIDE WALKS

Busan: fix a meeting point before the climb.

Gamcheon Culture Village climbs a hillside with terraced houses, stepped lanes and murals. Check the official tourism listing for the visitor area, then pick a specific entrance or café as your group meeting point.

Save the final walking directions before you set off. A pin can disguise a steep approach, so ask your accommodation about the route if stairs or luggage are a worry, and keep your return stop and hotel address available offline.

One South Korea plan supplies data in both Seoul and Busan wherever the listed network offers coverage. You don't need a separate city eSIM, and a bigger plan won't improve reception indoors or en route.

Save before you goThe village approach, your return stop and a meeting point everyone can spot.
