Happy Friday and Happy New Year to all and sundry! I hope everyone had a good start to 2026? I have been at work all week having got back from the UK on Sunday. It was a decent break, jetlag aside, but we barely saw the sun. I think we maybe had 10 minutes of sunshine during our entire visit.

Have just pulled the trigger on late summer flights to Seoul. My wife's cousin is getting married there in early October. We're flying via DFW with AA on the way out, flying CX to HKG on the last of my Avios, and then coming back with JAL to NRT and then AA to DFW and back to Las Vegas. It's roughly $5k in total for the two of us in PE.

Just need to consider where to stay in Seoul, and what to do when we're there! Any top tips or recommendations would be much appreciated!
