Has anyone seen my suitcase.....
Advantages: Well signposted in Korean and English, a good sized airport Disadvantages: A very long 36 kilometres from Seoul, with little convenient public transport
*****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 ...

Disneyland Korean Style

...Metro Line
Open 9.30-23.00
Lotte is a major Korean company which has stores, beverage and food businesses and Lotte World combines their central Seoul Department Store with an indoor and outdoor theme park and other facilities such as an ice rink, bowling alley and hotel.
It is definitely worth a visit if you have free time in Seoul. I am sure Disney Land/World has better rides but even though Lotte World is a rip-off copy it has a charm all of ... ...20,000 won
Night Admission (after 5pm): ADULT 21,000 won JUNIOR 18,000 won CHILDREN 16,000 won
2,000 won for the ice-rink
Don't expect to find a MacDonalds in the park. This is LOTTE World so eat before you enter or face the cardboard Lotteria Burgers found all over Seoul. ...

Former intl airport now domestic only
Advantages: Small, easy to navigate, short check-in times Disadvantages: It helps to speak Korean
Kimpo, or Gimpo, is the old gateway to South Korea's capital city, Seoul. Since March 2001 the new airport at Incheon has opened, providing international travellers with a modern, sophisticated airport capable of serving the needs of the most demanding traveller.
That leaves Gimpo as the main domestic terminal. It is not a bad airport as a simple domestic terminal. Because so few domestic travellers check their bags in, the baggage handling works ... ...landing.
Check-in is also fast, with no silly 1-hour-before restrictions, though there is a Won 3000 (£1.50) departure tax payable in cash.
To give an idea of timing, my flight from London was scheduled to arrive at Incheon just before 5pm, and despite landing a few minutes late, I managed to get to Gimpo on the regular shuttle bus (Won 4000) in time to check in for the 7 pm flight to Busan. Not something I'd like to repeat too often, but it shows ...

Changdeokgung Palace
Advantages: Very nice garden , worth visiting Disadvantages: No
...Gyeongbukgung Palace in 1405. Changdeokgung Palace. The palace served as a home and resting place for previous royals. The World Cultural Heritage Committee designated Changdeokgung Palace as a World Cultural Heritage in December of 1997 in Napoli, Italy. The most beautiful time to see the garden is during the fall when the autumn foliage is at its fullest peak and the leaves start to fall.
When visiting the palace, you need to be accompanied by ... ...wander around freely. They have tours in various languages: Korean, Japanese, Chinese,English, I would highly recommend you check the time for the tours beforehand. We joined a tour which took about one and a half hours to walk around to all the major sites within the palace. It was a nice walk and the scenery was beautiful. I went there in the summer and the air was fresh with the smell of trees nearby. At the entrance, there is a souvenir shop. ...
