I have a flight that leaves out at 8 on a Sunday morning.

I want to take a taxi to the airport shuttle.

Do taxi's run at 4 30 am or so Sunday?

What time do the shuttles run? I would be catching the one near the hotel in Suwon- down the street from homeplus- or maybey the one at home plus if I cant remember the hotel's name.

thanks in advance

They start at the Castle Hotel and make a pick-up stop in front of Haniltown (just down the street from Home Plus).

They start at 4:45am from Castle (4:55 at Haniltown), take 1 hour and run every 20 minutes or so (3 tmes per hour).

There are taxis at 4am but they are sometimes few and far between. You are cutting it close at the airport so give youself extra time to catch your taxi and make sure you are on the 1st bus.

I have the schedule I was give when I did my Visa run in September. First bus from Hotel castle leaves at 4:50 (and every 20 mins thereafter) takes one hour (without traffic) costs 12,000 won. Call 031-382-9600 if you have more questions.

Taxis at 4-430am, depends on where you are, in my area I'd almost be better off wallking, over by city hall and Crazy Duck bar not too bad should be able to get one easily, same can be said if you are near one of the bus terminals or the subway system.

Personally, I'm really nervous and touchy about time schedules on something as important as flights. My airline said to be at the check-in gate at least 2.5 hours before flying with baggage so you have an 8am flight....that means 530 am....you're going to be pushing it to get there on time. If you can go up the night before that's what I would do and crash in the airport for the night. I've done that in a couple of airports. The last bus up to the airport from Hotel Castle is 830 pm, or you could take the subway up there if you don't have a lot of luggage to deal with. Just a thought/suggestion Smile.
