Seoul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul carriers and many full-service airlines; it’s typically perceived as higher-end and efficient. ICN lies about 48 km west of downtown Seoul, reachable by express train (Airport Railroad Express, ~45–60 min, fares generally mid-range) or limousine bus (~60–90 min, fares vary). Gimpo (GMP) functions more as a domestic and short-haul gateway, frequented by budget and regional carriers and closer to the city (about 15 km west), with subway and taxi links taking roughly 20–30 minutes. Pros: Incheon offers wide international connectivity and modern facilities; Gimpo is convenient for short trips and faster ground transfers. Cons: ICN’s distance can add commute time and cost, while Gimpo has fewer long-haul options.
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) is Hungary’s main international gateway, serving a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines that typically offer competitive fares. The airport sits about 16–20 km southeast of central Budapest; travel time is usually 30–45 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public transport options include the 100E airport bus to Deák Ferenc tér (about 35–40 minutes, paid express service) or suburban bus and metro connections that can take longer but cost less. Taxis and ride-shares are a faster choice, often 30–40 minutes with variable fares. Pros: wide route network and decent ground services; cons: can be busy during peak seasons and transport links may add time compared with inner-city airports.
