Seoul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the larger international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers, and it’s typically positioned as Korea’s main gateway; tickets through ICN can be pricier for intercontinental flights but often offer more amenities. The airport sits about 48–60 km from downtown Seoul, with the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) taking around 45–60 minutes to central stations and buses or taxis varying by traffic; fares range from moderate for the train to higher for taxis. Advantages include extensive facilities and connections; downsides can be the travel time into the city. Gimpo (GMP) functions more as a domestic and short-haul international airport, commonly used by budget and regional carriers and for convenient transfers to nearby destinations. Located roughly 15–20 km west of central Seoul, Gimpo is usually reachable in 20–30 minutes by AREX or subway and in a similar time by taxi depending on traffic; local buses are often cheaper. It’s typically more convenient for quick domestic legs and shorter trips, though it has fewer long-haul services and limited premium amenities compared with Incheon.

In different months, ticket prices from Seoul to Athens vary: minimum — $334 (July 2026), maximum — $395 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $365–$395.

Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for both full-service carriers and a growing number of low-cost airlines; it typically handles most long-haul and EU connections, while budget operators often use it for competitive fares. Located about 20 km east of downtown Athens, transfers to the city center normally take 30–45 minutes by express train or suburban rail, 40–60 minutes by metro, and 30–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; expect public-transport fares to be modest and taxi trips to be mid-range for European capitals. The airport is usually well-equipped with lounges and shops, offering reliable connections, though peak-season crowds and occasional delays can affect comfort.
