Nanjing is served primarily by Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG), the city’s main international and domestic hub that typically handles full-service carriers and many regional budget airlines. Located roughly 35–40 km southeast of the city center, travel to downtown usually takes 35–50 minutes by high-speed Airport Express train or about 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; expect train fares to be modest and taxis to be mid-range for Chinese urban trips. The airport offers a good mix of lounges and shopping, making it convenient for connecting passengers, though distance from the core can add transfer time and taxi costs for late arrivals.
Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International Airport (ICN) functions as the country’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located about 48 km (30 miles) west of downtown and typically takes 45–70 minutes by Airport Railroad Express (AREX) or 60–90 minutes by airport limousine bus, with fares usually in the mid-range for public transport. Gimpo International Airport (GMP) sits much closer, around 15 km (9 miles) west of the city center, and often caters to domestic flights and short regional hops as well as some low-cost carriers; ground travel can be as quick as 20–40 minutes by subway or 30–60 minutes by taxi, with generally lower fares. Incheon offers extensive facilities and international connections but can feel farther and require more transfer time, while Gimpo can be more convenient and budget-friendly for quick trips around Korea and nearby countries.
