How to Take Airport Bus
Check your bus route at either of the Airport Information Desks between Gates 3 and 4 or Gates 11 and 12 on the arrival floor (1F), or the Airport Bus ticket booth. Buy your ticket at one of the ticket booths. Your ticket will list the bus stop location. Go to the bus stop and check the number of bus, bus route, and departure time. When on the bus, make sure to listen to the English recording so you don't miss your stop. (Night bus is available at 24:00-03:50)

The ticket booth for the Airport Bus is located next to Gates 4 and 9 inside the arrival floor (1F) and outside next to Gates 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13 and 9C.
Bus type
There are two types of airport buses: deluxe and standard. Deluxe buses are KAL limousines and other bus companies that operate non-stop or shortened routes to major hotels and destinations. These buses make fewer stops (shorter travel time) and have comfortable seats with more space. Standard buses tend be more crowded with smaller space and make more stops.
Bus Fare (from Incheon Airport)
- Deluxe Limousine Bus:
To Gimpo International Airport: Around 7,500 won
To downtown Seoul: 14,000-16,000 won
- Standard Limousine Bus:
To Gimpo International Airport & Songjeong Station: Around 5,000 won
To downtown Seoul: 9,000-10,000 won
Taxi
If you find it difficult to take the AREX Line or the Airport Limousine Bus, or simply do not know the exact location or directions to your destination, you might want to take a taxi. Exit the airport through any gate between Gates 4 and 8 of the passenger terminal (arrival area), cross the street, and go to the taxi stands (4D-8C). It is not unusual to be approached by a taxi driver inside the passenger terminal, but we suggest ignoring them and follow the standard protocol.
In Korea, there are three types of taxis: regular, deluxe, and jumbo. Regular and deluxe taxis can take as many as four passengers at a time, while jumbo taxis have a capacity of up to nine passengers. The base fare for a regular taxi is 3,000 won (for the first 2km) while the base fare for deluxe and jumbo taxis are 5,000 won (for the first 3km). Please also note that regular taxis charge an extra 20% of the base fare after midnight (24:00-4:00), while no such additional fare is applied for deluxe and jumbo taxis.
