Cheap Flights from Seoul to Helsinki Starting at $403

Seoul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) functions as South Korea’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and transfer traffic and hosting global carriers and many full-service airlines; it’s often perceived as higher-end. Gimpo (GMP) is closer to the city and usually caters to domestic flights and short regional hops, including low-cost carriers. Incheon sits about 48 km west of downtown Seoul with express trains taking roughly 45–60 minutes and airport buses 60–90 minutes; fares commonly fall in a mid-range band. Gimpo is around 15 km from the centre, reachable by subway or taxi in 20–40 minutes with modest fares. Pros: Incheon offers extensive facilities and international connections; Gimpo is convenient for quick domestic transfers. Cons: Incheon’s distance can add transit time and cost, while Gimpo has fewer long-haul options.

While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the upgrade.

Helsinki Airport (HEL) functions as Finland’s primary international gateway and a Nordic connecting hub, handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers such as Finnair, Scandinavian and several European budget airlines. It sits about 17 km north of Helsinki city centre; rail and bus links typically take 25–35 minutes, with train fares usually in the modest range and bus tickets often comparable. Taxis and rideshares can be faster depending on traffic but are usually more expensive. Pros: modern facilities, frequent departures and efficient transfers. Cons: can feel busy during peak seasons and may require some transit time to reach central Helsinki compared with inner-city terminals.
