Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the main international gateway and tends to host full-service carriers and long-haul flights, while Gimpo (GMP) is closer to the city and commonly handles domestic services and short-haul international routes. Incheon sits about 48 km west of central Seoul; travel by airport railroad or express bus can take roughly 45–70 minutes depending on service and traffic, with fares typically ranging from affordable to mid-tier. Gimpo lies around 15 km west of downtown, reachable by subway or taxi in about 20–40 minutes for reasonable fares. Pros: Incheon offers wide facilities, lounges and extensive international connections; Gimpo can be quicker and less stressful for domestic trips. Cons: Incheon’s distance can add transfer time and cost, while Gimpo has fewer long-haul options and more limited amenities.

Tokyo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT) is the primary long-haul gateway and international hub, handling most intercontinental carriers and alliance connections; it sits about 60 km east of central Tokyo, with airport express trains taking roughly 55–65 minutes and fares typically in the mid-range for airport rail services, while limousine buses run 60–120 minutes depending on traffic. Haneda (HND) functions as a major domestic hub that has grown into a busy international gateway for regional and some long-haul flights; it’s only about 15 km from downtown, reachable by monorail or train in 15–30 minutes with modest fares, plus taxis and buses. Narita can be better for cheaper long-haul options and wide airline choice but is farther out; Haneda is often more convenient for short transfers and late arrivals, though peak trains can be busy. Both airports offer multiple ground-transport options, baggage facilities and lounge choices, with Narita leaning toward full-service international amenities and Haneda favoring quick access to the city.
