Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC) serves as Xinjiang’s main international and domestic gateway, functioning more like a regional hub than a low-cost-only field. It typically handles a mix of full-service Chinese carriers and some budget airlines operating both domestic routes and international links to Central Asia and beyond. The airport sits about 16–20 km northwest of central Urumqi; road transfers normally take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Options include airport shuttle buses (affordable fares), taxis and app-based ride services (mid-range cost), and limited private-transfer choices. Pros: relatively modern facilities and direct regional connections; cons: can be busy during peak travel seasons and ground transport times vary with city traffic.
Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International Airport (ICN) is the main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often seen as the higher-end option for international travel; it sits about 48 km west of downtown Seoul and can be reached in roughly 45–70 minutes by AREX express/train or airport limousine bus, with fares typically ranging from moderate to premium depending on service. Gimpo Airport (GMP) functions more as a domestic and short-haul gateway, hosting low-cost carriers and regional flights as well as a handful of international routes; it lies much closer to the city (around 15 km) and is accessible by subway or taxi in 20–40 minutes, usually at lower incremental cost. Pros: ICN offers extensive facilities and transfer options for international itineraries, while GMP is more convenient for quick domestic connections. Cons: ICN’s distance can add travel time and cost to your trip, and GMP may be busier and less equipped for long-haul services.
