Does anyone know if it's possible to withdraw cash from a Visa or Mastercard at an ATM or bank in Korea?

Also, do travel agents/airlines accept foreign credit cards when buying air tickets to travel out of Korea?

Thanks for your help!

Ofcourse, but you must choose the correct ATM. KT Bank or the other main banks will let you withdraw but be careful as I had withdrew too much from my UK Visa card and left me with a small fortune to pay back to the bank.

Where I'm at, there are no ATMs that will take foreign cards, so I have to travel around an hour just to find an ATM that will. You might need to call your bank to let them know you'll be withdrawing money first though.
