Welcome to Korea.
Since Incheon Airport is larger than Gimpo Airport, most users are likely to use Incheon Airport.
However, since Incheon Airport and Seoul are quite a distance, it is good to know how to get there.
Korea is a very convenient country for transportation. Let's move to Seoul conveniently at a cheaper price.
We summarized 3 methods in total. The three methods below are sufficient.
The recommended method is Airport Railroad and Airport Bus.
Both methods are comfortable and the price is reasonable.
At Incheon Airport, there is no need to worry because almost all signs are written in English, Japanese, and Chinese.
Just look at the vehicles below and choose which ones to ride.
1. Taxi : This is a convenient but expensive method. Korean taxi drivers often cheat on foreigners. In Korea, public transportation is developed. So taxis should be thought of as a last resort. Learn to use public transportation quickly.
2. AREX (airport railroad) : This is a convenient and 45-minute arrival without traffic jams. It is convenient when going to Seoul Station and Hongdae. Additional transportation is required when going to other regions.
3. Airport bus (limousine bus) : This is a highly recommended method. It is cheaper than a taxi and stops at major hotels and landmarks. There is the inconvenience of getting off and walking to your home or accommodation.
How to take a taxi
When you leave the airport, there are signs here and there so you can easily find them.
Orange Taxi : Just a regular taxi. It is recommended to take a taxi. It is in the 8C-5C area.
Deluxe taxi : More expensive than a regular taxi. Knights with no accidents drive. The seat is wider (high-end car)
Van taxi : This is a good taxi for group travel. But the price is very expensive.
International Taxi : This is a taxi for foreigners. However, if you can speak only destination in English or korean, you can take a regular taxi.
It costs about 50,000 to 80,000 won on a regular taxi basis. It takes about 1 ~ 2 hours.
There is a 20% surcharge between 0 am and 4 am.
How to take the AREX (airport railroad) train
It is convenient to use the Airport Railroad if it overlaps with the Airport Railroad Line.
If it is not an airport rail line, you should go to Seoul Station, the starting point of the airport railroad. Seoul has many subways. You can go to Seoul Station by transferring the subway. However, it is difficult to move around with a large carrier. If it is difficult to get to Seoul Station, take the airport bus.
The advantage of the airport railroad is that it is cheap and moves quickly.
The disadvantage is that you have to transfer to the place where you take the airport railroad.
Follow the signs to the airport railroad.
Direct train : It takes 43 minutes. It goes without stopping to Seoul Station.
Local train : 58 minutes. There are several stops. Representative stops are Gimpo Airport, Hongik University Station, and Seoul Station (end point).
Regular train :
4,150 won, 58 minutes
Direct train :
9,000 won, 43 minutes

How to take the airport bus (limousine bus)
This is the most recommended method. You can go to many places without changing in the middle.
Airport buses can conveniently check bus routes using a smartphone app. I will deal with this separately.
Prices vary slightly depending on the distance.
Normally, an airport bus means an ordinary airport bus.
It's a bit different, but there is also a Korean Air Carl Limousine. The advantage is that you arrive a little faster because there are fewer stops. The price is a bit more expensive. It will be annoying to meticulously look at discounts. It's enough to know just the general airport bus.
