You only go through Customs when you enter or leave a country (many countries do not have Customs screening for departing passengers, and a few do not have Passport Control for departing passengers).

If your airline has an “International Check-In Desk” in Seattle then use it as your itinerary includes international flights. Don’t spend time looking for the “International Desk” as most airlines in the USA no longer have separate check-in areas for international and domestic passengers.

Same with security – unlikely for there to be separate international and domestic check-in areas. However, your international itinerary MAY result in more scrutiny, so be at the airport two (2) full hours before your first flight.

You will check your bags to your destination (Mongola). Make sure the airline agent puts the right 3-letter codes for your trip on the bags for eaxample, San Francisco is SFO, Seoul (Inchon Airport) is ICN, and Ulan Bator (Chinggis Khaan Airport) is ULN.

You may or may not have to go through security when you change planes in SFO. The airline can tell you.

Assuming you are just changing planes in Seoul, you should not have to go through security or Passport Control & Customs there. Just follow the signs to the termainl/gate for your next flight. Ask an airline employees for directions/help if you are not certain what to do.

You may have to collect a boarding pass in Seoul from the airline you are flying to Mongolia. If so, just ask for directions from the airline staff that meet your SFO-ICN flight in Seoul.

At your destination,you normally exit the aircraft, go through Passport Control, collect your bags, and then go through Customs.

I have a friend in Seoul. And I am from St. Louis. I send her presents all the time. Everytime it is different. Sometimes it takes 2 to 3 weeks. I guess it depends on the weight of the package. My packages are usually not more than 7 pounds. Send it tomorrow, and probably it might arrive on time.

Yes, this is a good deal, although it appears to be going up, as lowest fares now for two passengers is $1652. I would suggest looking at the flexi fare options, so that booking now and then finding you need to tweak or cancel later could be well worth the extra $50-150.

Yes, it does appear to be non-stop or direct (any stops will no cause a change in aircraft).

Yes, you will go through USA Immigration and Customs at San Francisco.

The US suspended the Transit program after 9/11 and now everyone who arrives at a US airport has to go through the whole process as though they were entering the USA. There are a couple of exceptions, but they don’t involve San Francisco or Denver.

Note that taking a domestic flight (SFO to DEN) would make entering the USA necessary even if the Transit program was still in effect. That type itinerary would have the same requirementin almost every country..
