Cheap Flights from Barnaul to Seoul Starting at $342

Barnaul’s airport, Gordeyevka (BAX), functions mainly as a regional gateway rather than a major international hub, typically serving domestic and some seasonal charter flights. Carriers operating here are usually Russian regional airlines and low-cost operators on routes to Moscow, Novosibirsk and nearby cities, so fares can often be more budget-conscious than at larger hubs. The airport lies about 17–20 km northwest of Barnaul city centre; taxis typically take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly the equivalent of a modest local taxi fare, while local buses and marshrutkas (minibuses) connect the airport in about 40–60 minutes for a small fee. Pros: straightforward layout and shorter queues compared with big airports; cons: limited dining and shopping options and fewer direct international connections, which can mean transfers for long-haul travellers.

Seoul is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and typically offering a wider range of lounges, shops and transfer facilities; it lies about 48 km west of downtown Seoul, with express trains and buses taking roughly 45–70 minutes (fares commonly range from moderate to higher depending on service). Gimpo Airport (GMP) is more of a domestic and short-haul gateway that also hosts several low-cost carriers on regional routes; it sits much closer to the city center (around 15 km), reachable in about 20–30 minutes by subway or taxi with generally lower fares. Pros: Incheon is well equipped for international transfers and comfort, while Gimpo is convenient for quick access to Seoul. Cons: Incheon’s distance can add transit time and cost, whereas Gimpo offers fewer long-haul options and amenities.
