Korean Air: common questions
Does Korean Air charge for checked bags?
Korean Air includes at least one checked bag on all fares. Our results show the exact allowance for the fare you choose.
Can I bring a carry-on on Korean Air's cheapest fare?
Yes. Korean Air's Economy Saver fare includes a personal item and a full-size carry-on bag, but seat selection costs extra and the fare cannot be changed.
Can I change or cancel a Korean Air ticket?
Every booking on Air1 Tickets can be cancelled free within 24 hours (for flights 7+ days out). After that, Economy Saver fares cannot be changed, while Economy Flex fares allow changes with no change fee (you pay any fare difference). Refundable fares return the full amount.
How do I check in for a Korean Air flight?
Check in online or in the Korean Air app from 24 hours before departure using the airline confirmation code on your Air1 Tickets e-ticket. Your Air1 reference is for managing the booking with us; the airline code (six characters) is what Korean Air needs.
