A sharp rise in global oil prices means international fuel surcharges will likely jump two to three times starting April 1. Airlines base fuel surcharges on the date you pay for and issue the ticket, not your travel date. So if you\u2019re flying to Osaka on March 31 or planning a wellness escape to Chiang Mai, Thailand, lock in tickets this month to save a lot.Long-haul flights to Europe or the Americas will be hit hardest. On Korean Air, long-haul fuel surcharges can reach up to 300,000 KRW one way (about $225). That\u2019s roughly 600,000 KRW round-trip per person (about $450). For a family of four, the added fees can top 2,000,000 KRW (around $1,500). That\u2019s why moving up your ticketing can really protect your wallet.Major travel agencies are moving quickly to ease the pinch. Companies like NorangPungseon and Hana Tour are urging customers booked on long-haul package tours departing in April and May to secure tickets this month. Normally people buy tickets closer to departure, but agencies are pulling ticketing forward by two months or more to avoid the upcoming fuel-surcharge shock.Advance ticketing isn\u2019t a perfect fix. Package tours operate as a group, so one person buying a ticket early is nearly impossible. Agencies aim to fill the group quickly and then issue all tickets at once. Before you commit, read the rules on changes and cancellations carefully so fees don\u2019t catch you off guard.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0203\/image-b2fe1b5a-3b2a-4ced-a909-aa92e7a082b9.png\" alt=\"(Photo:\" image generated by generative ai)><figcaption>\n  (Photo: image generated by generative AI)<br \/>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Real-time Popular Articles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Chung-Ang University College of Pharmacy Tops 2nd Medical League<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>2nd Medical Soccer League Kicks Off \u2014 About 500 Future Medical Professionals Compete for School Pride<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>[Analysis] Culture Ministry\u2019s First Emergency Block of Illegal Sites \u2014 Measuring Speed and Effectiveness in Catching &#8216;NewToki&#8217;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel agencies are gearing up for rising fuel surcharges;
