Q: What is Jin Air?
A: Jin Air is the Low Cost Carrier of Korean Air. The grand flight will commence on July 17th, 2008, between Seoul (GMP) to Jeju Island.
Q: Where do they fly to?
A: Nonstop flights from Gimpo, Seoul to/from Jeju and Pusan. More destinations are planned
Q: How does Jin Air keep the cost down?
A: By allowing customers to completely manage their trip through the website and keeping labor cost to the minimum. Sorry, there is no phone customer service.
Q: Can I obtain mileage by using SkyPass or other Sky Team mileage programs?
A: No, Jin Air will use a credit system (Genie Points) that earns you credit towards future flights, like a Jin Air currency / discount system. Jin Air's points program does not work with SkyPass.
Q: How come everything is in Korean?
A: Because Jin Air currently does not have an English version website because it keeps the operation cost down.

Jin Air- Will Try
I just booked on Christmas Eve trip to Jeju. I will definitly let you guys know how they are. There price do seem a bit cheaper than major ones (About 20-30%). But I hear no seating is designated. First come first serve.

I lookforward to it.
so they only fly between Gimpo and Jeju? :-( just one flight?

Jin means real. It is a Korean word of chinese origin.
So JinAir means a real airline. Not a fake airline.
I think it's more of a spinoff of the parent company, Hanjin Corp. I don't know how they're going to do in comparison to Air Busan since Air Busan flights earn miles on Asiana Club.

Actually in Islam not all Jinn are bad, just like not all humans are bad. Jinn are a creation of God who, like humans, have free will so they can chose to be good or bad. This differentiates them from Angels who do NOT have free will and are created GOOD, so to speak.
Sorry if this is going too far OT...but it is funny because when I saw the thread title that is what I thought too....that it was a reference to Jinn since they are suppose to be able to travel great distances very quickly...

They are ok compared to European LCA. The problem is that they are not really LCA. You'd have to really search hard to get some good prices. But I doubt KOR based LCAs will ever do any seats under $20-30 per one way. (They might for promos but not as often as others)
