TRAVELER FAQ

Answers before you leave.

Is Gimpo the same airport as Incheon?

No. Confirm the airport code and terminal on the current flight record before using any airport guide.

Which line should I always take?

There is no universal line. Use the lines KAC currently lists and compare the exact destination, transfers, luggage path and final service.

What if the last useful public transport has ended?

Return to a staffed, visible area and use KAC's current transport information or a designated taxi queue rather than an unsolicited vehicle.
