Incheon Airport to central Seoul
AREX, limousine bus and taxi compared
Key facts
- AREX express
- 43 minutes to Seoul Station
- Limousine bus
- 60-90 minutes, hotel-area stops
- Taxi
- 60-80 minutes, highest fare
AREX runs express services direct to Seoul Station and all-stop trains. With large luggage and a Gangnam destination, transferring through the subway is less comfortable than the bus.
Buy limousine bus tickets on the first floor near Exits 4 and 9, and check the last departure — late arrivals may miss the final bus.
Frequently asked questions
Should I buy a SIM or eSIM at the airport?
