from €1,783 return with Lufthansa
A strong Business Class fare from Gothenburg to Seoul with Lufthansa, with just one connection in Munich each way.
The lowest fares I found through Skyscanner Sweden start at around €1,783, with the main OTA options clustered in a very tight €1,783-€1,790 range. Lufthansa itself was around €1,889 return in the same comparison.
The 2 Feb - 19 Feb 2027 itinerary is the reference for this deal and gives you 16 nights in South Korea. The outbound overnight is spent on the aircraft, so I do not count that as a night at the destination.
For this deal, the booking links below use the Swedish Skyscanner flow. Flightnetwork completes the booking in SEK, so check the final SEK total and your card's foreign-exchange conditions before payment.
Lufthansa's Business Light fare includes 1 x 32 kg checked baggage, 2 x 8 kg carry-on bags, one personal item, lounge access, Security Fast Lane and priority boarding. The main compromise is the long-haul A350 cabin, which is shown in Lufthansa's older 2-2-2 fully-flat Business Class layout rather than a newer 1-2-1 product.
Swedish booking flow: payment in SEK
Lufthansa direct: about €1,889
Gothenburg 12:25 → Munich 14:15
Lufthansa LH2429
1h50 connection in Munich
Munich 16:05 → Seoul 11:15+1
Lufthansa LH718 · Airbus A350
Total journey time: approximately 14h50.
The timing is one of the strongest parts of the deal: a comfortable midday departure from Gothenburg, a short connection in Munich and arrival in Seoul in the late morning.
Seoul 13:30 → Munich 18:45
Lufthansa LH719 · Airbus A350
2h40 connection in Munich
Munich 21:25 → Gothenburg 23:20
Lufthansa LH2432
Total journey time: approximately 17h50.
Again, the schedule is sensible: no overnight airport connection and a late-evening arrival back in Gothenburg rather than an inconvenient early-morning finish.
A simple visual of the itinerary. Munich is the only connection in each direction.

The OTA fares were tightly grouped, starting at around €1,783 and ranging to approximately €1,790 in the Skyscanner Sweden comparison.
Lufthansa itself was around €1,889. For this deal, the links below use Skyscanner Sweden, and Flightnetwork completes the Swedish booking flow with payment in SEK.
Prices are shown in euros in the Skyscanner comparison, but the Flightnetwork Swedish booking flow can charge in SEK. Always check the final SEK amount, card exchange rate and booking conditions before payment.
The reference itinerary works very well in both directions.
You leave Gothenburg at 12:25, connect for only 1h50 in Munich and arrive in Seoul at 11:15 the following morning.
The return also avoids awkward overnight airport waits: Seoul departure is at 13:30, the Munich connection is 2h40, and you are back in Gothenburg at 23:20.
The long-haul Munich-Seoul sectors are operated by the Airbus A350, but the seat map for this itinerary shows Lufthansa's older 2-2-2 Business Class configuration.
The seats are still fully flat, but this is clearly less competitive than a modern 1-2-1 cabin because not every passenger has direct aisle access and privacy is more limited.
The other weakness is availability: all six combinations I found are in January and February, when Seoul is in its cold winter period. Business Light is also non-refundable; the Lufthansa fare screen showed rebooking at SEK 5,512 per passenger plus fare difference.
This is the booking route used for the deal.
The Skyscanner Sweden comparison showed OTA fares tightly grouped between around €1,783 and €1,790, with Flightnetwork among the booking options used for this deal.
Flightnetwork's Swedish booking flow uses SEK, so compare the final SEK total before paying.
Lufthansa was around €100 more than Flightnetwork in the reference comparison.
If you prefer having the operating airline issue and service the ticket directly, the premium is not unreasonable.
The cheapest Lufthansa fare shown is Business Light: non-refundable, but with lounge access, fast track, priority boarding and the full baggage allowance listed above.
I found 6 combinations, all in January and February 2027. The trip lengths are good, but the narrow winter-only availability is one of the main reasons I would keep this deal below a 9.0 Dino Score.
A strong Lufthansa Business Class fare with clean one-stop routing, excellent timings, lounge access, 32 kg checked baggage and useful 11-16 night stays in South Korea. The older 2-2-2 long-haul cabin and winter-only availability are meaningful compromises, so I would deliberately keep this one below 9.0.

New communityThe reference 2 February - 19 February 2027 itinerary gives you 16 actual nights in South Korea. You depart Gothenburg on 2 February, but that first night is spent on the aircraft, so the hotel stay starts after arrival in Seoul on 3 February.
Seoul can easily fill a week, but with 16 nights available I would not spend the entire trip in the capital. For a first visit, my sweet spot would be 5 nights in Seoul, then use the remaining time for another part of Korea — or even a short Japan extension if you are comfortable adding another border crossing.
With 16 nights on the ground, I would treat Seoul as the main city stop rather than the entire holiday. Five nights gives a very good first visit while still leaving enough time for Busan, Gyeongju, Jeju or a short international extension.
Enough for the headline sights, one traditional area, Myeongdong, a modern neighbourhood and a couple of strong food evenings.
My preferred option. It gives you several full sightseeing days plus time for Seoul's food, cafés, markets and nightlife without rushing.
Best if Seoul is the main focus of the trip or if you want to add a day trip and still have time for neighbourhoods beyond the classic first-visit circuit.
Seoul is huge, so the best neighbourhood depends on what you want from the trip. For a first visit, I would prioritise a well-connected area over saving a small amount on a hotel far from the places you plan to explore.
I would build the stay around different parts of the city rather than crossing Seoul repeatedly. A five-night visit gives enough time to combine the historic centre with food, shopping and a couple of modern neighbourhoods.
Start with Gyeongbokgung, the historic Jongno area and Bukchon, then continue toward Insadong or Ikseondong.
Combine central shopping and street food with Namsan and one of Seoul's classic city-view experiences.
Use an afternoon and evening for cafés, restaurants, shopping, music and the livelier side of Seoul.
Spend another day around Gangnam, COEX or another modern district to see a completely different side of the capital.
With 16 nights in total, this fare is ideal for turning Seoul into the start of a wider trip. I would strongly consider at least one or two additional destinations rather than staying in the capital for the entire holiday.
Dino Korea-only idea for the 16-night stay: 5 nights Seoul + 2 nights Gyeongju + 4 nights Busan + 4 nights Jeju + 1 final night Seoul. This uses all 16 nights and gives you a buffer in Seoul before the Lufthansa flight home. Dino Korea + Japan idea: 5 nights Seoul + 2 nights Gyeongju + 4 nights Busan + 3 nights Fukuoka + 2 final nights Seoul. Because Japan would be a separate international side trip, check passport / entry rules and leave a comfortable buffer before the long-haul return.A few useful extras that can make the journey easier, particularly when travelling with restrictive cabin-bag fares, arriving late or needing mobile data as soon as you land.
