Incheon International Airport, Seoul (ICN)

As an Australian living in Korea, and traveling around Asia, I have used the old Gimpo International, and the new Inchon International Airports in Seoul, as well as Gimhae Airport in Busan, though that is another posting! Inchon Airport is just over a year and a half old, and it is great. The Korean Government wants to turn Seoul in the transport and logistics hub of North Asia, and the huge new development area that included the airport at Inchon ...
...from Seoul is not as easy as it was when the international terminal was at Gimpo (which is still the domestic airport), with the convenient subway link. There are currently two main options for people without a car in Korea- a taxi or the airport bus. The train link wont open until 2005!

Review of Incheon International Airport, Seoul (ICN)

Review of Incheon International Airport, Seoul (ICN)

*****HISTORY****** The award winning Incheon International Airport, situated on Yeongjong Island to the west of Seoul, is the airport you are most likely to fly into when you are visiting South Korea. Although some of the airport is, to a great extent, a work in progress, the main passenger terminal is fully operational, and has been since 2001 and serves well over 50 international airlines, connecting the far flung corners of the globe. *****FACILITIES******* ...
...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 ...
