Kimpo was the former Premier Airport Hub of Seoul until 2001 when Incheon Airport took over and nowadays it is used mailny for domestic flights and few international flights to Japan. the airport is located at 274 Gwahae-dong, Ganseo-gu, Seoul and is also connected to incheon via a railway. I have found some of my old pictures of the airport to paste here.

The new electronic seats of Prestige Class are easy to use and are remarkably comfortable providing various positions and customized adjustments. Each seat has a power outlet for laptops and a new Audio & Video on Demand system (AVOD) that is incredible! The sound system is excellent and AVOD offers over 40 feature films, 60 short films, 16 music channels, and 55 music albums. The system is installed in every seat back and allows playback and/or a quick search of music and movies with a “touch screen” feature. Each guest receives a pair of Korean slippers for the flight and rather than a traditional amenity kit, personal items like razor, sleep masks, toothbrush, etc. Korean dishes featured the popular “Bibimbap” offered with minced beef, vegetables, sesame oil and Korean hot pepper paste (which i did not put since it is very Spicy!). Additional Korean fare included Korean style porridge or spiced fish cakes with chili dipping sauce.

 The spacious interior of Incheon Airport. by kdoc13 This is one of the nicest airports I have ever been in! Whether it is the place to get a massage after a long flight, or the bright and open feeling of it, it is just a very friendly airport to fly in and out of, even for kids. There are at least 2 children's areas where kiddies can pass the time, and plenty of places for Duty Free Shopping, so Mom and Dad can take home a bottle of Soju after having to deal with the kids on a long flight....

I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before, but there is no real tip on here about getting to Korea. Most travelers to Korea get there by air and the airport makes your first initial impression of how your trip will be in my opinion. Korea's main international airport is located at Incheon; about an hour west of Seoul. It is quite frankly one of the best airports i have ever had the pleasure of transisting through. It has all the conviences that any major world airport has but they seem to be more logically placed and easier to use than I have found anywhere else. For instance, there are lockers (free for one day use) for transit passengers located right in the transit area. You only have to ask the information desk for a key (which by the way is very multi-lingual). There is a reasonably priced shower and sauna service. There is even a transit hotel right on the 4th floor if you have a long lay over that doesn't give you time visit the city, but still too long to just sit in a terminal seat waiting for your flight.

 The Gobi desert by MEdelmann .... seen from the airplane. After we had heavy turbulances between Beijing and Ulan-Bataar, the sky began to clear up and I had a fantastic sight to the earth. I got up more often and took some pics. And this must be some where over Mongolia. Unfortuneatly I can see no sheeps .... Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

by mke1963 Incheon Airport is very easy on arrivals, with very clear, very obvious signs in Korean and English. The arrivals hall is on the ground floor, and just outside are the bus services to the downtown area. There is no metro to the airport yet. The airport "limousine" (bus) services are frequent and get you downtown quicker than you might expect, especially if you are arriving at the weekend. This is a well-planned, attractive airport!
