Shilla hotel for highend and a hanok house for the traditional side.

I'm visiting South Korea next March and I was happy to see how many frequencies there are on KE and BX, almost hourly between GMP and PUS even on a Saturday. I ended up booking KE because they were $124 USD for Business (vs. $75 USD for Coach).

Depending where you need to be but KTX could be more convenient for you. PUS and GMP are pretty far away from the city center.

Well, it's nice to see the mountain landscape once from the air...And GMP is rather convenient to reach by AREX.

True but on the opposite side PUS isn't convenient to anything.

Traveling from Seoul (Myeondong Westin Chosun area) to Busan (Park Hyatt Haeundae beach). What is better mode of transport? KTX or GMP (flying)? I have no access to a car, so will be using taxi or public transit in PUS.

Earlier this year, I took the KTX (as i like bullet trains), but always wondered if flying is more convenient or not.@:-)

Thanks in advance

Will you have many bags?

I'd just take the train and subways to connect to/from them. But with a bit of luggage, that could be difficult.

Either way, by the time you deal with security and stuff, I think the train is a better alternative.

Taxi to Seoul station and have PH Busan waiting for you with their shuttle or hotel car at Busan station. Thats the easiest, least stress free way!

I will only have my carry-on size luggage w/rollers with me on this trek.

I did not know I can use the PH Busan shuttle from that far away? What is the cost of this service, or is it complimentary for the incoming hotel guests (non-status/golds)

Thanks for feedback. Still a few months away the trip, but nice to start planning now for these "minor" issues.

They have a complimentary shuttle from Busan station but you should definitely ask the hotel for the times. It's not a regular, hourly service. [email protected] is their chief concierge and I'm sure she will take care of you for your upcoming stay!

Feel free to ask me questions on the official Park Hyatt Busan thread in the Hyatt forum!
