Landing in Seoul

Landing in Seoul

Live Incheon arrivals. Pick your flight, get your exit and carousel, then the first two hours done right.

The first two hours

1
Immigration & bags

Follow Arrival signs; e-gates need prior registration, everyone else queues. Your carousel number is on this board once you pick your flight.

2
Get connected

SIM/eSIM counters sit in the arrivals hall (T1 gates 6-7, T2 gates 3-4), open early to late. An eSIM bought online works the moment you land.

3
Cash & cards

Cards work almost everywhere in Seoul; keep about ₩50,000 cash for markets and street food. Airport exchange rates are the worst in the city, so change a little here and the rest downtown.

4
Into the city

AREX Express (43 min to Seoul Station, ₩11,000), all-stop AREX (₩4,750), limousine bus, taxi, or a pre-booked pickup. Full comparison on our route guide.

5
First stop

Drop your bags (most hotels hold them before check-in) and start light: what's trending this week, or food near your station.
