Luxury hotel: Grand Josun Busan. Basket B: Higher restaurant spend; same hotel and transport.

Budget base is Busan Station; mid/luxury bases are Haeundae. No beach-swimming guarantee in January.
Not included: All flights and positioning legs, Visas, Insurance, Shopping, Unlisted excursions, Late-night disruption, Ski/beach equipment, Private guides unless listed
Reference exchange rates dated 2026-09-30: 1 USD = 1,360 KRW. Your card rate at payment may differ.
Practical notes
Gimhae airport is west of the main visitor coast. Allow approximately 60–100 minutes to Haeundae, longer with traffic. The taxi model uses an allowance above the airport’s older published example, not a guaranteed meter total. Check sauces, stocks and kitchen handling when seeking halal food.
Limits of these examples
Dated editorial estimate for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven calendar days, six nights, fourteen person-days. Flights, visas, insurance, shopping and unlisted excursions are excluded. Hotel room category, board and cancellation conditions were not fully exposed. The model deliberately purchases meals outside the hotel; no hotel-meal inclusion or verified room-only product is claimed. Supplier tax fields are reconstructed, not a final invoice. Named tariffs are dated benchmarks; editorial allowances are expressly identified. No bookings were made. Reprice the actual dates, party and room configuration; these figures must not become unqualified annual calculator defaults. Airport taxis and city transport use editorial allowances; the Beach Train all-stops pass uses the displayed KRW16000 adult tariff. No Sky Capsule or other paid attractions included. Budget base is Busan Station; mid/luxury bases are Haeundae. No beach-swimming guarantee in January.
