Air Seoul, a South Korean low-cost carrier, has introduced an unlimited flight pass for domestic flights, called Mint Pass, which sells for 199,000 won (US$179.60). The pass allows passengers to book an unlimited number of the carrier’s domestic flights within a five-month span. Air Seoul is the only domestic carrier to offer such a pass. The carrier had sold unlimited flight passes for international flights prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The carrier said the pass will be available on the South Korean online shopping site 11th Street from Thursday to May 5. The carrier is also selling a 6-trip pass for 99,000 won (US$89.30) and a 10-trip pass for 149,000 (US$134.50). All of these passes can be used to book domestic flights on Mondays to Thursdays, excluding holidays and peak season.

Air Seoul said, “With the unlimited Mint Pass, passengers can board planes like getting on taxis. The pass is particularly useful for frequent domestic flyers and golfers who enjoy playing a round on weekdays.”
