Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s main international hub and typically handles most long-haul and European carriers, including full-service airlines and many low-cost operators. It sits about 20 km east of the city center; taxis usually take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, while the suburban train and metro connect the airport to central Athens in roughly 40 minutes — fares can be in the mid-range for city transit. Buses to central stops are a cheaper option but can be slower. Pros: modern facilities, wide airline choice and frequent connections; cons: travel time into the center can stretch during peak road congestion and some services may be busier and pricier than regional airports.
Seoul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the primary long-haul hub, handling most international carriers and premium full-service airlines; it can feel more spacious and modern but is located about 48 km west of downtown and typically requires 45–70 minutes by express train or 60–90 minutes by car depending on traffic. Train fares run roughly in a mid-range band while airport limousine buses and taxis offer alternatives at higher cost. Gimpo (GMP) acts as a closer, compact gateway for domestic flights and short-haul regional routes, sitting roughly 15 km from the city center and reachable in 20–40 minutes by subway or 20–40 minutes by car. Subway and local buses are economical; taxis are quicker but pricier. Pros: Incheon is well-equipped for long-haul comfort and transfers; Gimpo is convenient for fast city access. Cons: Incheon’s distance can add travel time and cost, while Gimpo has fewer international options and can be busier during peak commuter periods.
