Returning from Japan to transfer to Incheon Airport, I was not allowed to leave the airport. The hotel was booked the night before and I could not check in. South Korea's policy has changed. After asking carefully, only those with passports from Australia, the United States, Canada, and one country, I forgot which country, can leave the airport without a visa. I used to use my connecting flight to visit Seoul without a visa, but the policy changed after the epidemic. Although I booked a hotel, I couldn't leave the airport or check in. After many negotiations with Ctrip, the hotel owner didn't agree to cancel the reservation and refund the money. There was no tension at the Korean hotel. Everyone got off the plane anyway, judging that it would be better to book a hotel after we could get out of the airport. Or prepare a Korean visa in advance. Otherwise, it would be a waste. I spent an unforgettable night at Incheon Airport.
