Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the city’s main long-haul hub, handling most international carriers and full-service airlines; it’s usually perceived as mid-to-upper in price but offers extensive amenities. Located about 48 km west of downtown Seoul, ICN can be reached by AREX express (about 43–60 minutes), all-stop trains (55–70 minutes), airport limousine buses (60–90 minutes), or taxis (60–90 minutes depending on traffic); fares typically range from modest rail tickets to higher taxi fares. Pros: modern facilities, wide airline choice; cons: longer transfer time to the city. Gimpo (GMP) is smaller and often positioned as a domestic and short-haul regional airport that many low-cost carriers and domestic flights use. At roughly 15 km west of central Seoul, Gimpo can be accessed via the AREX all-stop train or Seoul Metro lines (20–40 minutes), airport buses (30–50 minutes), and short taxi rides (20–40 minutes); fares are generally lower than long-distance transfers. Pros: quicker city access and convenience for domestic travel; cons: limited international long-haul options and fewer amenities than the larger hub.

Rio de Janeiro is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Rio–Galeão (GIG) is the larger international hub on Governador Island, typically handling long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators; it sits about 20–25 km north of central areas like Copacabana and Centro. Regular options to the city include express buses and shared shuttles (roughly 30–60 minutes, fares vary), taxis or app rides (30–50 minutes, higher cost), and a recently expanded rail link that can shorten commutes when schedules align. Pros: more lounges, international connections and facilities; cons: can feel distant and transfer times may be longer. Santos Dumont (SDU) is a compact, centrally located airport focused on domestic and short regional flights, favored by business travelers and short-hop carriers. It’s very close to downtown and the waterfront (about 2–8 km), reachable by quick taxi or app ride (10–20 minutes) and by frequent public ferries or buses for similar fares. Pros: convenience and shorter transfer times; cons: limited international services and smaller terminal space that can be crowded at peak times.
