My husband finally got his greencard and is flying to Korea for the first time! In this Korea vlog, I wanted to share with our first time flying to Seoul, Korea together and riding on Hawaiian Airlines Business Class. I booked our Business Class flights using my Alaska Airlines Atmos points (credit card points) and it was such a great decision. I'm so excited to create this Korea vlog series where I can share everything to do in Korea! Also showing you how to get a t-money card in Korea and public transportation from Incheon Airport to Seoul! ♡Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayaleex3/ ♡TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayaleex3 ☆My Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mayaleex3?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_JT9S0VGBWNTWWMXDVA06 🇰🇷Get my 7-day Korea itinerary: https://mayaleex3.gumroad.com/l/puxkq 🇯🇵Get my 4-day Hokkaido, Japan itinerary here: https://mayaleex3.gumroad.com/l/lelrg 🇯🇵Get my 7-day Japan itinerary here: https://mayaleex3.gumroad.com/l/kbfwp ☆Free 63 credits on Classpass for different workout classes: https://classpass.com/refer/EVA2NVKA28 ☆Get 80,000 points by signing up for the AMEX Platinum card: https://americanexpress.com/en-us/referral/platinum-card?ref=MAYALatn2&XL=MIANS ☆Earn 60,000 bonus points with the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card: https://www.referyourchasecard.com/19q/9XHUX0QJ9A ☆BILT rewards card for paying rent: https://www.biltrewards.com/card/referral/5JO1-7KN0 ✉ Business inquiries: mayaleex3@gmail.com

About This Video

We’re not in Korea just yet at the start of this vlog—we’re in Seattle, because I found a Hawaiian Airlines Business Class seat for $1,200 (and the second seat was 75,000 points), which felt like such a win. This trip is extra special because my husband just got his green card, so this is his first time flying internationally and landing in Seoul. I also share a little pro tip from the airport: some airlines (like Alaska) have a baggage timing guarantee—if your luggage doesn’t come out in time, you can get compensation. On the flight, I walk you through what Business Class was like for us, what we ate (I chose the Korean meal—chicken bulgogi, seaweed soup, purple rice, banchan—and later jajangmyeon with rolled egg), and how we tried to rest after being up since 4:30 a.m. Once we land at Incheon, I show how we navigated as true first-timers: following signs, downloading Naver Map, taking the all-stop train, and buying/recharging a T-money card (cash only at the machine). We end the night cold, tired, and hungry—warming up with a late meal, a convenience store run, and my husband’s first banana milk—before kicking off this Korea vlog series.
