Gimpo International Airport (GMP) generally serves domestic routes and short international hops to nearby East Asian cities, and often hosts low-cost carriers alongside legacy domestic operators. It sits much closer to central Seoul — roughly 15 km west — and can be reached in about 20–35 minutes by subway or 30–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with subway fares being relatively low. Pros: convenience for quick domestic or regional trips and shorter ground travel; cons: more limited long-haul options and fewer premium amenities compared with the larger Incheon hub.
