[SEOUL] How to get from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station
Monday, May 20, 2013 I wrote this for my friends when they came over during my stay there. So that I can meet them at Seoul Station as Incheon Airport is about 1.5hours - 2 hours from where I stayed and they were expected to reach about 8+am in the morning. My friends cannot understand korean and did not do much research before coming. Relying on this, we managed to meet each other at Seoul Station Mac Donalds. I thought I will just share.
HOW
TO GO TO SEOUL STATION FROM INCHEON AIRPORT
At the Arrival Hall, look for Arrival
Gate D. In front of Gate D and Tony Molly, you will see this:
Follow the arrow and take escalator
DOWN.
After you take the escalator down,
turn left.
You will walk through 2 stretch of
travellators:
Airport Express is on your right.
Airport Train is on your left:
The following sections describe the 2
train services. You may buy food and eat on the train.
Airport Express
It is a non-stop express train from
Incheon Airport to Seoul Station. It takes 43minutes and cost KRW 8,000. Buy
the ticket at the ticket counter (speak to human) or machine (Machine has
English). Buy 2 adult tickets to Seoul Station.
The train seats look like this:
The ticket looks like this, and has a
train car number (which section of the train) and seat number. Board the train
according to the car number.
In the above example, the car section
number is ‘2’. Seat numbere is 7D.
‘2814’ is the vehicle number (think of it as car plate number).
Put luggage at storage space.
When you get off the train, look for
lift to go up. When you are out of the lift, you will go through a tap-out gate
gantry.
Then look for a separate/another lift
to go up again. If you can’t find this lift, ask people. Just say you want to
take KTX.
When you have taken the lift up, you
look for the main arena hall. You should see several screens showing train
schedules and you will see mac donalds.
Airport Train
It is 9 stations to seoul station and
it cost less than KRW 5,000. The journey is 1 hour.
You can buy ticket with machine (English available). It is a one time travel card.
After you alight, look for the main
arena hall. You should see several screens showing train schedules and you will
see mac donalds.
In any case, if you lose your way and
need to ask for directions, just tell people you want to take KTX and where
should you go (to buy ticket). Mac Donalds is in front of the ticket selling
place.
If really lost and unable to
communicate, please show the following phrase to a local when asking:
안녕하세요! 우리가 싱가포르에서 왔어요. 한국어 할줄 몰라서 미안합니다. 길을 잃어버려서 좀 가르쳐주시겠어요? 서울역 (KTX)의 Mac Donalds 가고싶으면 어떻게 가야돼요? 감사합니다!! ^^hello! We are from Singapore. I'm sorry I cannot understand Korean.
