Leave Your Winter Coats with Korean Air

Heading to Australia or an exotic beach in the southern hemisphere, and don’t want to carry your heavy winter coats all the way there and back? Korean Air is now providing a free coat storage service for its passengers leaving Korea for warmer climes such as East Asia, Hawaii, Australia and etc.

The service will be provided for 3 months from December 1, 2010 - February 28, 2011.

During this period, Korean Air passengers can travel light by storing their winter coats for free at Incheon International Airport and collect them upon their return.

The service was first launched by Korean Air in 2008, and has been increasingly popular with our passengers ever since. The average number of 130 passengers who used the service every day in the winter of 2008, increased to 250 in 2009.

This service is available for all passengers travelling internationally from Korea with either Korean Air or a codesharing flight of Korean Air.

Passengers’ coat will be hung on a sturdy plastic hanger wrapped in plastic sheet during storage.

To store the coat, passengers simply show their boarding pass at Hanjin Cargo counter located in Area A of the passenger terminal on the third floor of Incheon International Airport. To retrieve the coat after their return, they only need to show the storage receipt at the same counter.

The coat storage service is available from 4:30am - 9pm every day. A passenger can store one coat for five days for free. After that free period, a surcharge of KRW2,500 per day will apply.
