South Korea's budget carrier T'way Air on Wednesday said it will resume from Nov. 28 its flight linking Incheon and Chiang Mai, Thailand, with seven weekly flights.

The route was suspended two years and 10 months ago due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Thailand-bound flight will depart from Incheon International Airport at 8 a.m. and arrive in Chiang Mai International Airport at 12:30 p.m., and that returning to Korea will leave 1:30 p.m. from Chiang Mai and arrive at 8:20 p.m. in Incheon. 

To mark the resumption of the route, T'way Air from Nov. 16-30 offers discount tickets on its website, mobile app and on the web for two weeks.

A one-way fare on the route starts at 306,000 won, but a traveler can get 5% off a roundtrip ticket using the code 'ICNCNX' when booking online.
