    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.

    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!

  • Incheon International Airport - Seoul
    Incheon International Airport

    All international flights arrive at Incheon International Airport. It is situated in Incheon which is about 50 kilometres from Seoul in western direction. It was openend it 2001 and built on an island. Domenstic flights arrive and depart at the old Gimpo Airport. But some cities (like Busan) can be also reached directly from Incheon Airport. Airport tax is 15.000 won for international flights and 4.000 won for domestic flights. The picture on your left shows the new international airport in Incheon. Thanks to Radio Korea International in Seoul for this postcard! (It is not allowed to take photos of the aiport.)

    Which airline to take to Seoul, South Korea? South Korea has two major airlines ~ Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. Korean Air is with the SkyTeam partnership with Aeromexico, Air France-KLM, Alitalia, Continental Airlines, CSA Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Korean Air and Northwest . Aseanna is with the Star Alliance partnership with L ufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Spanair, TAP and lots more (check StarAlliance We took Korean Air was because it had a code share with Malaysia Airlines. Nice ....

    Seoul's Incheon Airport is one of the few places in the Seoul area which has no metro or rail link, and it is a long way from the city. Taxis are expensive, but there is a good network of express and bus services outside the arrivals terminal. Tickets are available from booths and also from helpers in uniform by most stops. The buses all have clear markings in English. Korean Airlines operate four services and other companies operate a variety of routes. Noticeboards and maps show information clearly in English, Japanese and Chinese and I noticed a leaflet in French. The Koreans know how to satisfy a lot of nations! The buses are clean and the KAL buses have reclining business-class leather seats. The journey into Seoul varies enormously but count on an hour minimum at the weekend to the Dong-hwa area and 90 minutes during the week outside rush hours, perhaps double in the rush hour. Apparently locals use the express bus to the old airport at Gimpo, then the metro. Tickets cost around Won 12,000 single.

  • Taking a flight out of Seoul is like taking a shuttle bus anyway really. It's a no-brainer, the fares are cheap and you can buy the tickets on the spot. Just head for GIMPO Domestic Airport and aim for any ticketing counter. Going by Korean Air is always a cheaper option since this airline is state-owned. If you've got a bit of extra cash, aim for Asiana, the service is better and you can cash in on you star alliance points. Better still, they'll allow you to book your e-tickets online at a discounted price. Here's a sample of their fares(one-way) Seoul->Busan (49,520won) Seoul->Cheju Island (52,960won)

    Incheon airport... pick up an English paperback at the bookshop, get last minute MAC lipstick, it's sunny and modern. Though I feel ashamed that I can't speak Korean, still it is an international airport... but don't be surprised if most of the airport staff DO NOT speak English! Japanese might help you! And I hear Chinese is gaining in popularity now... ;) Use taxis, around $2US from most A-B locations. Again, don't expect the driver to understand English!

    I flew this time from Tokyo to Seoul(Kimpo International Airport) on Northwest Airlines http://www.nwa.com/ The airline offering the cheapest deal at the time I flew was United Airlines Previously I have always flown from Fukuoka, Japan to Seoul on Korean Air The cost from Fukuoka (buying your ticket in Japan) is around 20,000 yen return. From Tokyo my ticket cost 44,000 return but it's possible to get there for around 30,000 yen if you buy your ticket well in advance. *NOTE * Korea's new International Airport at Inchon was opened on March 29,2001. This will probably add another hour to your journey into central Seoul. For more information on the new airport go to Incheon International Airport
