Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew ICN to LAX last month. Incheon security is super strict with liquids — every bottle gets pulled out and scanned. Make sure all your toiletries are under 100ml and in a clear bag, otherwise they will get tossed no questions asked.
Booked Economy Standard and they weighed my carry-on at the gate in Seoul. Mine was 11.3kg and they made me move stuff to my checked bag. The 10kg limit is enforced, not just a suggestion. Personal item weight counts toward that total too.
Policies may vary by specific route or airport. Always check your booking confirmation or the official Air Premia website for the most up-to-date information before your trip.
