I noticed that there's a purple line connected to Sasang Station. Is it running yet? If not, how do I get to the airport?

Not sure about the subway, but I took a taxi from the west bus station to the airport and it was only 7,000 won. I don't know if you're living in Busan or what your situation is, but the airport isn't far from the city, so a taxi may be your best bet.

Commercial operation is scheduled to commence from Apr. 21.

There is a bus from Busan West Bus Terminal to Gimhae City/Gimhae Airport at 10:00 13:00 15:00 19:00 (4 runs a day)

I'm coming from Gimhae. Where's the closest subway stop to the airport? I could taxi it from there and back. And then bus it to Gimhae. Thanks for answering the question! I appreciate it Smile

So, you're going from Gimhae City proper to the airport, then back to Gimhae City from the airport as if you're picking up someone?
Is it DL647 from Tokyo? 'Cause, the last bus out of Busan Sasang to Gimhae (without calling at the airport) is at 22:05.
There are numbered routes to/from Gimhae City you can intercept at Gangseo-gu Office Metro Station, (buses 11, 13, 307 will ferry between the airport and the metro station) but it depends on where in Gimhae City you're heading as much as how soon you can proceed to the station from the airport, given that those buses are about to stop running around 22:00.

Yes, I live in Gimhae and know a bus that goes from Gimhae to Gupo and would really like to avoid any hassle, especially when there will be luggage involved. Do you know of any buses that go from Gupo station to the airport?

Best bet from Gupo to the airport is a taxi. If there's a bus, I'd like to hear about it.
Meter taxi is about 7,000 won, but they'll offer to take you there for 10,000.

Same deal as Gangseo-gu Office station -- 11, 13, 307 or 1009 between Gupo station and the airport. Buses and Line 3 train cross the river side by side.

Thanks so much for your help! I'll def. taxi it. Way faster than the bus that makes all those stops!

Again, thanks! Smile
