When searching for the best airfare from Canada or the USA to Asian destinations, travelers often face numerous challenges. These include complex routing options with multiple connections, seasonal price fluctuations, and opaque pricing structures. Finding deals and discounts requires extensive research across various booking platforms, adding to the time and effort needed. Currency exchange rates and the overall distance can also impact the final cost and convenience of the journey.

One advantageous strategy travelers consider is breaking their journey halfway with a layover in cities like Paris or Seoul. This approach not only breaks up long flights but also helps mitigate jetlag by allowing passengers to rest and adjust to time zone differences before continuing their journey. This can lead to a more comfortable and enjoyable travel experience overall.

Our teams, "Smile of Asia" (in Seoul) and "Smile of Europe" (in Paris), are prepared to welcome you, assist with your layover, and ensure you a smooth travel experience. Please feel free to contact us if you would like us to arrange this travel option for you. We look forward to assisting you!

Smile of Asia - We ARE Different!

We are not a mass group travel service operator. We cover the territories that we personally know best. We go beyond the capitals and larger cities in each country and venture into the countryside. We show you cultural, historical, natural, musical, and culinary varieties of every region we visit. We want you to know the people, feel the new sites, and make memories for lifetime. ASIA is coming alive as one of the world’s most desirable travel destinations. Today, many tour operators offer a wide range of travel programs. Many, however, do not deliver what we are able to: a great mix of activities along with off-the-beaten-path experiences—something only a small group can do. Because we serve only small groups, we are creating and delivering a very personal approach to your travel experience. We carefully design each tour with passion and love and diligently select our voyages with our travelers in mind. We proudly operate each of our tours personally; no subcontractors. We are constantly creating special experiences for our travelers, and often going beyond the itinerary. We excel in covering territories that we know well, and therefore we are able to show our travellers places that deviate from conventional travel companies offerings. We therefore aim for your ability to explore and understand the local life, culture and heritage in every region and country we visit. We want it to touch your heart!

Dirk Van der Stockt
