VANCOUVER, BC, May 27, 2025 /CNW/ -- T'way Air, South Korea's leading low-cost carrier, will inaugurate its first North American destination with direct service between Seoul and Vancouver on July 12, 2025. Operating four times weekly – Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays – the new flights meet growing demand for affordable, long-haul travel across key Asia-Pacific and North American markets.
The outbound flight departs Incheon International Airport at 9:05 p.m. KST and arrives at Vancouver International Airport at 3:25 p.m. PDT. The return flight leaves Vancouver at 5:25 p.m. PDT and lands in Seoul at 9:35 p.m. KST the following day. Tickets are now available on the T'way Air website.

T'way Air will deploy its A330-300 aircraft, offering 12 flat-bed seats in Business Saver class with adjustable headrests, extra legroom, personal power outlets and individual reading lights. All passengers receive complimentary meals: two in Business Saver and one in Economy.
