Seoul flights bookend the night
On the Korean open-data timetable updated 20 August 2026, Jeju Air leaves Incheon at 21:30 and the return reaches Incheon at 07:50, so the Bohol arrival is after midnight and the departure is early morning.
Use the Panglao pin, not Tagbilaran
Airline flights left the city airport on 28 November 2018. A navigation pin for Tagbilaran Airport (RPVT) drops you at the closed field, about 13.5 km from this runway.
Do not plan a meal around a lounge
No Priority Pass, LoungeKey or DragonPass lounge is published here, and the operator has not posted a shop-by-shop food list.
