Seoul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Incheon International Airport (ICN) functions as the city’s large international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carrier flights and often seen as the more premium option; it lies about 48 km west of downtown Seoul and typically takes 45–70 minutes by AREX express/train or 60–90 minutes by airport limousine bus, with fares usually in the mid-range for rapid rail and moderate for buses. Gimpo Airport (GMP) operates more as a domestic and short-haul gateway with some regional international routes and is commonly used by low-cost and legacy carriers alike; it’s roughly 15 km from the city center and can be reached in 20–30 minutes by subway or 30–50 minutes by taxi, often at lower cost. Pros: Incheon offers extensive amenities, international connections and reliable ground links; Gimpo provides quick access to Seoul and shorter transfer times. Cons: Incheon can involve longer surface travel and more time for transfers, while Gimpo has fewer long-haul options and more limited facilities compared with larger hubs.
Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s largest hub for full-service carriers and regional flights. You’ll usually find national airline connections alongside international carriers, while some low-cost operators also use the airport. Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, travel times are commonly 25–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can often range from inexpensive metered rates to modest flat fees for airport transfers. Public options include buses and shuttle services that may take 40–60 minutes. Pros: comprehensive passenger facilities and direct long-haul links; cons: can be busy at peak periods and slightly farther from downtown than some regional airports.
