Pros: modern terminals, extensive lounges and transit amenities; cons: longer transfer time to the city compared with closer fields. Gimpo (GMP) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul international airport, frequented by budget and full-service carriers on Tokyo/Shanghai/Busan routes. Only about 15 km from central Seoul, it’s usually 20–30 minutes by subway or 30–50 minutes by taxi, with low to moderate fares. Pros: quick city access and convenient ground transport; cons: fewer long-haul options and smaller terminal facilities than Incheon.
