Jeju Air, Flight Ticket Open Run... "870,000 People Flock on First Day of Jjim Special Offer"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Jeju Air's ultra-discounted airfare promotion, 'JJIM Special,' is gaining great popularity by stimulating revenge travel demand.

According to Jeju Air on the 11th, about 870,000 people flocked to the 'JJIM Special' that started at 10 a.m. on the 9th, and more than 60,000 tickets were sold on the first day alone.

This is about 4.5 times the number of visitors on the first day of the second JJIM Special held in May 2020 right after COVID-19, which had about 194,000 visitors. In particular, around 10 a.m. when the JJIM Special booking opened, customers trying to purchase tickets crowded the Jeju Air website and mobile app and web, causing access delays for a certain period.

Jeju Air cited the stimulation of customers' travel psychology, which had been suppressed due to COVID-19, as the main reason for the popularity of the 'JJIM Special.' The tickets sold through this JJIM promotion are valid for boarding from October 30 this year to March 25 next year. Although it is burdensome to travel immediately due to the recent resurgence of COVID-19, it has stimulated expectations that air travel will be possible soon.

Meanwhile, the 'JJIM Special' tickets, available until 5 p.m. on the 15th, cover six domestic routes and 23 international routes including Japan and Southeast Asia, and can be used from October 30 this year to March 25 next year based on the boarding date.

The total fare may vary slightly depending on the booking date and exchange rate fluctuations. It may close early depending on the reservation status. Tickets can only be purchased on the Jeju Air website, mobile app, or mobile web.
