[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:

 

 After you are done with the travellators, you will see a shop on your right call “Olive Young”and then followed by the shop called “The Bang”(also on your right). Turn right at “The Bang”. Then, go straight.

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.

 Board the train that goes to Seoul Station. It is free seating. The train looks like Singapore’s normal MRT Train. So your luggage will be close to you (imagine taking Singapore MRT Train).

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 가르쳐주시겠어요? 서울역 (KTX) Mac Donalds 가고싶으면 어떻게 가야돼요? 감사합니다!! ^^
hello! We are from Singapore. I'm sorry I cannot understand Korean. I've lost my way, can you please help me? If I want to go to Seoul Statin (KTX), how should I go? Thank you!! ^^
