Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Feb is the cheapest for SEL → JED. Best time to be there: Nov–Mar.
Fares bottom out in February around $652 and peak in May near $944 — a $292 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 15.5 hours outbound, on a 9-night trip — ticketed under Air India, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $652 for 8,386 km each way, that works out to about $39 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 11 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Jeddah, this fare ranks 5th — 52% above the $430 from New York. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 44 routes of similar length we watch out of Seoul, where the middle fare is $681.

How far in advance should I book SEL → Jeddah?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Feb comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Seoul to Jeddah?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air India. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). 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.
