 |
|
After hitting up airports in Asia (China, HK, Thai, Filo, JPN) i realize and appreciate just how awesome the ICN airport is. The duty-free shops, the wi-fi free zones, it's all great. My laptop died on the plane and i spent an hour walking around HK Intl' looking for a freaking power plug which i never found. At ICN i saw they have free netbooks on Wi-Fi you can just walk in and use. I saw some solar panels too in use on the drive in. I can see why it was voted #1 airport in the world. I got a great deal on a digital camera, lady gave me 30% off even though the MSRP was much lower than at any Lotte or Hyundai Dept. store...and she spoke near perfect English. I need to go there for shopping spree's i think, once a month or something.
P.S. a lot of pretty bi-lingual girls working at the airport...

ICN is a great airport, definitely one of the best.
The 떡 being sold at Dunkin Donuts is a little much though. |

| I like Singapore's Changi Airport better. Don't get me wrong Incheon is not a bad airport, but personally, I think Changi Airport is the number one airport in the world. |

| I was just amazed at the shopping deals. It's gotta be one of the best shopping places amazingly enough. I got 30% discounts on stuff just for showing up. This isn't street stalls either, it's the brand name official retailer shops. |

They have to be at least bilingual to work there. Pretty is just a bonus. |

| I agree, I never have worries getting to ICN too early. Good food and enough to look at in the shops to keep you interested whil waiting around. |

You couldn't find any powerplugs at HKG?? well then you must be blind as they are bloody everywhere!
ICN is an ok airport but I prefer regional airports.. changi is also very overrated, oh sure it's fan'bloody'tastic is you want a shopping mall.. No thank you  |
