Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the country’s major international gateway and a regional transfer hub for full-service carriers as well as several long-haul and African airlines. Wilson Airport (WIL) functions as the city’s domestic and light-charter facility, catering to low-cost regional operators, safari flights and private aircraft. Jomo Kenyatta sits about 15–20 km southeast of the CBD, with taxis or ride-hailing typically taking 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and costing moderate fares; airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Wilson is closer to central Nairobi (around 5–10 km) and can be quicker to reach. Pros: NBO offers extensive international connections and passenger facilities; WIL is convenient for domestic and bush transfers. Cons: road congestion can lengthen transfers from both airports, and domestic flights may have more limited amenities.

Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International Airport (ICN) is the main international gateway and full-service hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers; it sits about 48 km west of downtown and can take 45–70 minutes by airport railroad or express bus depending on traffic, with fares typically ranging from moderate to premium. Gimpo Airport (GMP) functions more as a domestic and short-haul regional airport, favored by low-cost and legacy carriers on flights to Japan, China, and domestic destinations; it’s roughly 15 km from the city center and reachable in about 20–30 minutes by subway or taxi for a lower fare. ICN offers extensive passenger facilities and transfer options but can feel farther from central Seoul, while GMP is more convenient for quick city access though with fewer international services and smaller terminal amenities.
