If you really want to be a good kid send them 20k UR points each so they can fly business. Then in a few months have them each get the 30k points Freedom card to pay you back, that's if they don't have 20k in their UA accounts anyway. Once they get to ICN have them drive, train, bus or whatever to Busan. I think you can fly Asiana from ICN/GMP to CJU and from there to PUS, but really it's not worth it. It's more hassle to get to Gimpo than to hop on highway 1 and drive there in maybe 4 hours. I've done it probably 15-20 times and it's not bad at all.
