Incheon International Airport (ICN) serves as Seoul’s primary international gateway and a major East Asian hub, handling most long-haul and many regional flights for carriers like Korean Air, Asiana and numerous global alliances. It’s located about 48–60 km west of downtown Seoul, with travel times typically 50–70 minutes by airport express train (AREX) or 60–90 minutes by car depending on traffic; fares for AREX and express buses generally fall in a moderate range compared with local transit. The airport is known for extensive passenger services and shopping, which can make connections convenient but slightly more time-consuming to navigate during peak hours. For travelers prioritizing wide route choices and amenities, ICN is usually the go-to option.
Busan is served primarily by Gimhae International Airport (PUS), a regional gateway handling domestic flights and a growing number of international routes to Northeast Asia. Low-cost carriers often operate here alongside full-service Korean and regional airlines, so fares can be competitive compared with Seoul’s main airports. The terminal sits about 16–20 km west of Busan city center; the airport bus and metro transfers usually take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically ranging from modest local bus prices to slightly higher airport express fees. Taxis are convenient but can be costlier. Pros include compact terminals and good intercity connections; cons can be limited long-haul options and occasional congestion during peak seasons.
