Does anybody know the easiest and quickest way to get to Incheon International Airport? Can I take the subway to Samseong Station and then catch a Airport Limo Bus to direct to the Airport from City Air Terminal? How long does it take to get there from the City Air Terminal Stop? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hannam dong? Forgive my ignorance but where exactly is that? Do you know if it takes a long time? I was thinking about leaving around 7 in the morning to get there at 9 am.

I recently took the subway to Gimpo and the AREX train from there to ICN and it took 1.5 hours total from Cheongnyangni Station and cost about 4500 won. On my return I took the airport bus back and it took about the same amount of time, and cost 9000 won. I only had one bag so that wasn't so much of an issue. The bus was much more comfortable, but time-wise they were about the same.

How is it stressful? You just go to the stop and stand there.

I'd suggest taking the railway there. Its super fast and at that time of day no one will be on it. For me to go from Dongincheon to bupyeong and then up incheon subway line to gyengang(sp?) and then across on the railway to the airport was only 1hr. So it shouldnt take you more then 1.5hrs from where you are by subway/railways

From Konkuk area to the airport is faster and cheaper by subway. The transfers aren't bad, and there are elevators. With the taxis and buses you're going to get stuck in traffic.

Thanks everyone. I bought a ticket for the limousine bus so I am just going to take that. Hopefully I won't hit too much traffic as I have decided to leave around 6:30 in the morning and I only need to get there by 9 (my flight is at 11 am). I can update everyone and let you know how things went when I get back Stateside.

I don't think you need to leave that early. Last time I took the bus to the airport from Seoul Station it only took about 50 minutes.
