When this route gets cheap.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 15.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under Lufthansa, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $573 for 7,925 km each way, that works out to about $36 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Of the 14 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bucharest, this is the cheapest right now — 12% under the next one, New York. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 39 routes of similar length we watch out of Seoul, where the middle fare is $651. We have 2 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage. Fare history here is still too short to name a cheap season. The best time to be in Bucharest: May–Jun · Sep–Oct.
We are still collecting this route's months — 2 months of cached prices so far, too few to chart.

Good to know
SEL → OTP, answered.
How far in advance should I book SEL → Bucharest?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. Our guide Why flight prices change covers the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Seoul to Bucharest?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Lufthansa. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 23 August). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
