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.
