The airport is located 52km (32 miles) from Seoul at 2850 Unseo-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon City 400-700. It is connected to seoul via the Seoul International Airport Expressway (you pay tolls for it) It is the Main Gateway to South Korea and the Main Hubs of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines and since 2001 has replaced the old gimpo airport (which is now a domestic airport) as the flagship airport of south korea. The terminal has 44 boarding ports (all of which can accommodate the new Airbus 380), 50 customs inspection ports, 2 biological quarantine counters, 6 stationary and 14 portable passenger quarantine counters, 120 arrival passport inspection counters, 8 arrival security ports, 28 departure security ports, 252 check in counters, and 120 departure passport inspection counters.

Regular, deluxe and jumbo taxis (for up to nine people) can be hired at the airport (journey time to central Seoul - 50 minutes). Taxi stands are situated at the Arrivals floor exit (airport taxis costs about 55,000 won one way to seoul including toll fee!)

Our family had a lay-over enroute to Manila, Philippines and I must say that this has been the cleanest airport I have ever been in, not to mention the BIGGEST.
Anyone who has been here I'm sure will attest that if you're a person that loves to shop, then this is the airport for you. Many, Many, MANY stores in this aiport make this almost like a gigantic shopping mall....However, keep in mind the exchange rate US vs. Korea....expensive!!!

I flew with Korean airways into Incheon and would like to say that they were attentive, pleasant and very efficient. I would not hesitate to use them again. I have now travelled on many airlines (all in economy unfortunately) and would place this airline at the top of the pile from my experience.

Nearly all international flights to Seoul land at the Incheon International Airport which is located west of Seoul. Korea has two major airlines which use this airport as a hub. These are Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. Both airlines provide decent service at the best prices to travel to Asia from North America. I give the nod to Asiana as the slightly better airline due to its quality of service.

To get to Seoul you can take a taxi (around W40000/60000 regular/deluxe), or one of the various shuttle buses (60 minutes plus, W8000-12000). There are two main varieties of shuttle bus: one operated by Korean Airlines which services major hotels directly, the other being part of Seoul's public transport system and going to various points in the city. Consult the big maps to figure out which route best suits your needs; you can then find the shuttles outside 1st floor arrivals. It is about one hour to Seoul.

A train link to the airport is under construction. Continual delays have pushed back the scheduled opening of the section between the airport and Gimpo to March 2007, the final stretch to Seoul Station projected to open by 2010.
