 |
|
Hi everyone,
My flight into Korea arrives at 12:15am, so I figure I won't be out of the airport until 1amish. I was wondering what my cheapest option is for getting to Sinchon. I figure a cab is going to be pretty expensive, probably 60,000-75,000 won, and would prefer to take a cab to the nearest love motel (hopefully 5-10 thousand won) and then take the subway the following day. Or are there any jimjilbangs close by? I've spent 2 years in Korea, so I'm comfortable traveling at night. Please weigh in! |

| Maybe just hang around the airport. Plenty of benches. |

Korean Air KE896 from Shanghai lands at 24:15 as well, and there are special runs by KAL Limousine bus for those late night arrivals.
Its Gangbuk route departs apprx. 30 minutes after the Korean Air arrival (adjusted for delays) from curbside 4B, and takes you to Mapo station/Seoul Garden Hotel, Myeongdong KAL Building, before terminating at Seoul Station. A short cab ride from Mapo to Sinchon would be more affordable than all the way from ICN. |

I meant so, yet 24:xx is a convenient way of emphasizing that the timing of a certain occurrence is within the continuation of the night before, even though such a notation is technically incorrect. |
