”Guam airfare is 1.82 million won?” ... Next year's mid-autumn celebration 10-day long holiday = Korea

Next year, South Korea's mid-autumn celebration (Chuseok, or mid-autumn festival) will be accompanied by a 10-day "Golden Holiday," and the race to book air tickets is already heating up.
According to the industry on the 21st, next year's mid-autumn celebration holiday will start on October 3rd (Friday), followed by the mid-autumn celebration holiday on the 6th to 8th (Monday to Wednesday), and the 9th.
Including Hangul Day (Thursday), it lasts for a total of seven days. If you use paid leave on the 10th (Friday), you can enjoy a total of 10 days off, including the weekend.
As a result, a race is underway to book flights in advance for next year's mid-autumn celebration holiday.
As soon as reservations for next year's Chuseok holiday tickets were opened 361 days before the departure date, people started lining up to make reservations. As a result, airfare prices to popular resort destinations have risen by 5 to 8 times compared to previous years.
Korean Air's international flights to Hawaii and Guam on October 3 next year have already sold out. Economy class tickets departing the next day cost 1,826,600 won (approximately 190,870 won).
The price of a round-trip ticket to Da Nang, a popular tourist destination in Vietnam, has risen by about eight times.
Airfares to Paris, France and Frankfurt, Germany have doubled. Low-cost airlines are planning to operate flights from the end of March to the end of October next year as soon as December this year.
The new service will be available between now and January next year. However, it is difficult to determine the price yet as ticket prices are heavily influenced by supply and demand. With almost a year left until next year's mid-autumn celebration, the schedule for route operations is still unclear.
The schedule has not been finalized, and various variables, such as travel agency package deals, may affect the schedule. In the industry, there are concerns about long-distance flights to Europe and other areas.
"The aviation industry is particularly susceptible to supply and demand, so we are considering whether to hold a mid-autumn celebration holiday next year," said an airline official.
"During periods of high demand, such as the 2019 Olympics, airlines have no choice but to sell tickets at relatively high fares," he said. "Even if you are unable to purchase a ticket on the reservation start date, the price of the ticket may fall before departure.
"There are cases where the virus spreads, so we recommend that you check it frequently."
