Advantages: Quiet and well run Disadvantages: Quite far out of Seoul City
comfortable, but for people with a lot of luggage, a taxi is better.
The fare for the bus is about 6000Won, which is about 5US$. The bus routes operate from various 4 and 5 star hotels in the city or from Gimpo Airport, for those connceting from domestic to International flights, and takes from 45mins-2 hours depending on the traffic.
A taxi ( make sure you get a regular and not a deluxe!) takes a similar amount of time, but costs up to 65000Won or 50US$ You also have to pay the toll on the airport freeway- the driver asked us for the toll at the toll booth!
In the airport everything is still shiny and new, with a lot of signage and security guards around.
Airport tax is 15000W for non-Korean passport holders (they pay 25000Won inc tourism incentive tax!) and needs to be paid at a seperate booth, located in a few locations thoughout ...

Checked-in bags arrive quickly on the baggage carousel. On a recent flight from London, my bag was there before I had made it through immigration, so I could simply pick up the bag ...
Advantages: Well signposted in Korean and English, a good sized airport Disadvantages: A very long 36 kilometres from Seoul, with little convenient public transport
, cabbage preserved in red chilli paste. It can be good or, well, less good...) for all my friends and relatives, regardless of whether they are partial to fermented vegetables or not. Time will tell whether I keep my friends.
******TRANSPORT LINKS*******
By 2010 there should be a reasonable public transport link from the Airport to Seoul, in the form of The Incheon International Airport Railroad. Unfortunately that was no good for me in May 2006 which meant I was at the mercy of the other options.
You could get the free shuttle bus ( if you can catch one of the ten that run every day) to Airport Town Square, a brand new town a few kilometers from the actual airport consisting of restaurants, shops, hotels and residential accommodation. Or you could get a taxi into Incheon itself. In fact you could get a bus into Incheon for only 5000 ...
