Visits Busan Korea 2014 - Departing from KLIA2 to Gimhae

Our visits to Busan Korea on the 28-31 August 2014, a 4 Days 3 Nights holidays journey started very early in the morning as my flight is at 8.30am from Kuala Lumpur to Busan (arrive at 3.45pm). It was a 6 hours flight with AirAsia X. We headed to the new KLIA2 on a Thursday morning in good traffic - that's because it was around 5.00am.

KLIA2
A very big airport for the budget airlines. Too big until tired of walking from one point to another. No doubt, it is much better and portrait a better image of Malaysia as compared to LCCT. However, you decide yourself on its practicality of having a big airport as a travelers....

My advise to you at KLIA2, be ready to keep walking!

Knowing that 6 hours flight was quite long, more room leg is a must. Hence, we got ourselves 'Hot Seats' which promised to have more space.

However, I have learned a lesson from this. Never book a hot seat that is in the middle of the aircraft as people will not bother about the 'no crossing' sign and keep walking across in front of you. If you want a hot seat, make sure you choose the seats on the side.

Gimhae International Airport Busan
Finally, we landed safefly at the Gimhae International Airport at 3.10pm. Weather was cloudy but the feeling was great! The airport is quite small and only a few counter at the immigration checkpoint. It took us about 20 mins to get out from there. Meanwhile, some screening were in place due to Ebola outbreak.

From the airport, we need to get to Soemyeon, the new downtown of Busan. To do so, we need to walk out from the main entrance of the airport (same floor from the arrivals) and turn to the right. There is a bus station there - #2 is for the bus heading to our destination. The fare for the bus - 6,000won per person.

We got down at the bus stop just right in from of the Lotte Hotel, it is the 2nd stop after the bus left the airport.

Okay, we didn't booked to stay in Lotte Hotel but we are staying around here. The Uniqstay hostel is located behind the Lotte Hotel. So, we need to walk for about 3 minutes to the hostel.
