Incheon International (ICN) serves as Seoul’s primary international gateway and a major East Asian hub, favored by full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it can be perceived as mid-to-upper range on price for international routes. Located about 48 km west of central Seoul, transfer options include the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) with 43–55 minute rides to Seoul Station, airport buses taking roughly 60–90 minutes depending on traffic, and taxis that typically take 50–80 minutes with fares varying by route. Pros: modern terminals, extensive amenities and reliable international connections; cons: longer transfer distance and potentially higher transfer cost compared with nearer airports. Gimpo International (GMP) functions as a secondary airport handling many domestic flights and a selection of short international routes to nearby Asian cities, often used by low-cost carriers and legacy domestic operators — fares can be more budget-friendly for short hops. It sits about 16 km west of downtown Seoul; travel time to central districts is generally 20–40 minutes by AREX or Seoul Subway (Line 5/9/Gimpo Gold), roughly 40–70 minutes by bus depending on traffic, and about 30–50 minutes by taxi with modest fares. Pros: close to the city and quicker transfers for domestic travel; cons: fewer long-haul options and smaller international connectivity than Incheon.

The airport sits about 30–40 km from downtown Abu Dhabi; travel by taxi or ride-hailing usually takes 30–45 minutes and can cost in the range of roughly AED 70–120, while public buses take about 40–60 minutes for a lower fare.
