I'm supposed to be at the Inchon Ferry Terminal at 2pm (at the latest) to catch a ferry to Qingdao, China. It would be ideal for me to be able to leave Busan early in the morning instead of having to leave Friday. I'd also like to take the bus, if possible, to save some cash. It is realistic for me to make it to the terminal by 2pm if I leave Busan very early? How far of a trip is it from the nearest bus terminal to the terminal? If anyone who's made the trip can help me out, I'd be grateful.

Fly into Incheon from the Busan airport using national air service. Nationally, air fares aren't that expensive. Saves a lot of time. Take a taxi from the airport to the ferry terminal. May cost a few thousand won but worth it. Isn't it still an additional 10,000 to go across the bridge?

Thanks, I'll look into that. Can anyone advise me about the bus trip?

the bus is about 4 hours give or take 1-2 hrs depending on traffic -

I wouldn't trust it not if you have to meet a ferry -

try the train - there are 3 train prices you can take, the KTX and 2 others (I can't spell them) - between 2 3/4 hrs and maybe 6 hrs, cheap or maybe 49,000 for ktx (the fast one)

you'll go to Seoul Station but from there I don't know how to get to the Ferry Terminal maybe 1 hour?

I've decided to go by KTX, seems the safest way to make sure I don't miss my ferry. Thanks for the advice.
