Another cabotage question: I’m looking at flying to Saipan on DL 171 MSP-ICN, overnight ICN and then continue the next morning on a separate ticket via JeJu Air to Saipan. Will this be a problem with the Jeju flight? I think I should be ok since I’m arriving into ICN on Delta equipment but not sure about the separate ticket/overnighting/Jeju Air. The return is also Jeju Air to ICN but then I head to Japan for a few days before returning stateside on DL. There is an earlier flight to Saipan but it arrives 0340 and I’d rather not spend 2 nights in a row sleeping on a plane.
I’ve checked with Delta and they “think” I should be ok, but then I had to explain the cabotage issue to them since they were unaware. I also contacted Jeju Air via chat which wasn’t much help either. Both airlines said I should contact immigration, which I also did and they told me to talk to the airlines! Can someone please help me out of the circular loop I’m stuck in?
