⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Only use the official taxi rank or a licensed Kakao T taxi; unlicensed touts at arrivals often charge double or more.
  • Make sure the meter starts at ₩4,800 for a regular taxi, and expect the airport expressway toll to be added to the fare.
  • For Gimpo Airport, do not buy an AREX Express ticket; the Express does not stop at Gimpo, so use the all-stop train.
  • T-money cards are topped up with cash only at most airport machines, so carry some KRW before heading to the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way from Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport?

The cheapest option is the AREX all-stop train. It takes about 35 minutes from Terminal 1 and costs less than the Seoul Station fare, roughly €3 with a T-money card.

Is there a direct train from ICN to Gimpo Airport?

Yes, the AREX all-stop train runs directly from both airport terminals to Gimpo Airport. The AREX Express train does not stop there.

How long does the journey take?

By car or taxi, allow 54 minutes in light traffic and 60 to 75 minutes in heavier traffic. The all-stop train ride to Gimpo Airport is about 35 minutes from Terminal 1, plus walking and waiting.

Are taxis available at night from Incheon Airport?

Yes, official taxis run 24 hours at the airport ranks. Regular taxis have a 20-40% night surcharge depending on the time, and the meter plus tolls will still be cheaper per group than most private transfers.

Can I pay for the AREX all-stop train by credit card?

You can use a T-money or other Korean transit card, which must be topped up with cash at airport machines. AREX Express tickets can be bought by card, but the all-stop train fares are best paid with a loaded transit card.

Is a private transfer worth it for families?

A private transfer can be worth it if you have a lot of luggage or a late flight, because it is door-to-door and fixed price. For solo travellers, the AREX all-stop train is much cheaper and direct.
