Seoul is served by two main airports: Incheon International (ICN), the country’s primary international hub located about 48 km west of the city center, and Gimpo International (GMP), a smaller airport roughly 16 km to the west that handles domestic flights and short-haul regional routes. Incheon typically hosts long-haul carriers and full-service airlines and can be perceived as more premium, while Gimpo often sees budget and domestic operators plus a few regional international services. Transfer options include the AREX express/train to central Seoul (about 45–60 minutes from Incheon, 9–12 minutes from Gimpo) and airport buses (60–90 minutes from Incheon; fares for AREX and buses usually range from low to moderate). Taxis and private transfers are available — expect longer times in peak traffic. Pros: Incheon offers extensive facilities, lounges and global connectivity; Gimpo is quicker for Seoul access and domestic connections. Cons: Incheon’s distance can add travel time and cost, while Gimpo has fewer long-haul options and smaller amenity choices.
