Incheon International Airport

Incheon International Airport is about 48 km west of central Seoul, on Yeongjong Island in the city of Incheon. The AREX express train reaches Seoul Station in about 43 minutes from Terminal 1 and 51 minutes from Terminal 2. A taxi takes about 45 minutes to an hour without heavy traffic, and limousine buses take about 1.5 hours.

No. Incheon International Airport is in the separate city of Incheon, on reclaimed land between Yeongjong and Yongyu islands west of Seoul. It is the main international airport for the Seoul area. Seoul's other airport, Gimpo, lies within the city and mainly handles domestic flights and short international routes.

Incheon International Airport has two passenger terminals. Terminal 1 has a main building and a separate concourse reached by an underground shuttle train. Terminal 2 opened in 2018 and was expanded in 2024. The terminals are several kilometres apart and are linked by a free shuttle bus and by the AREX airport railroad.

Korean Air uses Terminal 2, together with Asiana Airlines, Jin Air, Air Busan and Air Seoul, and partners such as Delta, Air France and KLM. Asiana moved to Terminal 2 on 14 January 2026. Most other foreign airlines and Jeju Air use Terminal 1. Codeshare flights may use the operating airline's terminal, so check your e-ticket.

A free shuttle bus leaves from gate 8 on the third floor of Terminal 1, about every 7 minutes at busy times and up to every 20 minutes late at night, and takes about 16 minutes to reach Terminal 2. AREX trains also stop at both terminal stations, so you can ride one stop between them.

AREX trains leave from the Transportation Center connected to each terminal. The express train runs non-stop to Seoul Station in about 43 minutes from Terminal 1 and 51 minutes from Terminal 2. The all-stop train takes about 59 and 66 minutes and stops at Gimpo Airport and Hongik University, with links to several Seoul metro lines.

Taxi stands are just outside the arrivals areas of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, with separate lines for regular and deluxe taxis. Use the official stands and ignore anyone inside the hall offering rides. The drive to central Seoul takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic and your destination.

Yes. Kakao T works for foreign visitors who sign up with an email address and an international phone number, and it accepts foreign cards. Uber operates in Seoul through Uber Taxi and also takes foreign cards. Drivers pick up at the taxi stands outside arrivals, and both apps help if you do not speak Korean.

Visa-exempt travelers need a K-ETA before departure unless their country is on the temporary exemption list, which runs through 31 December 2026 and covers 22 countries and territories, including the US, the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, France and Germany. Travelers without a K-ETA complete the e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before landing.

Yes. Airport limousine buses run from stops outside the arrivals halls to hotels, districts and stations across Seoul and nearby cities. Ticket counters are in the arrivals areas. The trip to central Seoul takes about 1.5 hours depending on traffic. Buses avoid changes with luggage but are slower than the AREX train.

Seoul uses Korea Standard Time, UTC+9, all year, with no daylight saving time. The currency is the South Korean won, and foreign credit cards are widely accepted. Summers are hot and humid with a rainy season, while winters are cold and dry, so check the season before you pack.

Incheon International Airport handled 74.07 million passengers in 2025, its highest annual total since opening in 2001. It is run by Incheon International Airport Corporation and has four runways after the Phase 4 expansion finished in 2024. Japan, Southeast Asia and China accounted for most of its passenger traffic in 2025.
