I'm on line 5 right near Yeongdeungpo-gu Office station. Looks like I've gotta take line 5 from here to Gimpo, then switch to the airport railroad to get to Incheon.

Has anyone ever made a similar distance trek to the airport? Trying to figure out when I need to leave the apartment.

According to my cell phone it'd take 56 minutes. There's a transfer, and you have to wait a bit for the AREX to arrive, so I'd add about 15-20 minutes to that to be on the safe side.

Go in comfort using the airport limo buses. Might end up beating the subway time since you're in West Seoul.

They're so cheap and you don't need to stop every two seconds!! (On the flip side though, they suck if you're heading over in rush hour.)

The Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit (SMRT) site says 61 minutes and 1400won. I would take the bus, though.

There are, or at least used to be, two different trains from Gimpo to the airport. One stops a few times, but it is much cheaper. It only adds maybe five or ten minutes to the total journey time.

My daily subway route involves a transfer at Gimpo from Line 5 to the airport line. If you want to shave a couple of minutes off the transfer time, get on at carriage 7 or 8 at Yeongdeungpo-gu Office. Then it's straight out of the train, and down an escalator to the airport line. AREX trains leave at 06, 18, 30, 42, and 54 past usual daytime hours.

airport limousine or even taxi if you're not to frugal. i've cabbed it from around that area and it's only 30-40,000ish and takes about 40 minutes if the traffic isn't horrid.
