[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Jeju Air announced on the 20th that the number of subscribers to its unlimited sports-related checked baggage services, ‘Sports Membership’ and ‘Golf Membership,’ is rapidly increasing.


The number of Jeju Air Sports Membership members has sharply increased to 3,560, compared to just 84 members in February last year before the full resumption of international flights. The Golf Membership, newly launched on January 16, has also seen a rapid increase with about 400 people joining within a month despite being in its early stages.


With the recent surge in overseas travel demand, many travelers are seeking leisure trips such as golf, scuba diving, and skiing. Jeju Air interprets this as a reason why sports-related membership services are also gaining popularity.


Jeju Air’s Sports Membership and Golf Membership require only an annual fee of 149,000 KRW and 129,000 KRW respectively. They exempt baggage fees for sports equipment such as ski and snowboard gear or golf equipment without any limit on the number of times for one year.

The Golf Membership offers unlimited checked baggage service for golf equipment such as golf caddy bags and Boston bags within a 25kg weight limit.


Meanwhile, Jeju Air is holding the Jeju Air Sports Festival until March 3, offering a 10,000 KRW discount on the annual fees for both Sports Membership and Golf Membership for customers planning overseas leisure trips.


From today until the 24th, a 10,000 KRW discount is available for Sports Membership sign-ups, and from the 27th until March 3, a 10,000 KRW discount is offered on Golf Membership annual fees. Additionally, Jeju Air is the only domestic airline providing a bicycle carrying bag rental service for bicycle travelers. Currently, this service is available only on the Gimpo~Jeju route.
