There are regular shuttle busses. I got in a bind once getting to the airport on time from Seoul Station- 50,000 won for a taxi.


Take the shuttle bus- quite comfy, but I don't remember the price- maybe around 10,000.

I have friends who make the trip every weekend and they say it is between 30-40,000 depending on what part of Incheon area you live.

If you're really cheap...Incheon bus 111 outside of Gate 9 is W3,500. That goes by Bupyeong Station as well as Munhak Stadium Station. It'll take a while, and there won't be room for much luggage, but it's cheap.

Last time I did it, Sincheon to Incheon the cabbie asked for 3 men up front. I also did Mullae dong to the airport on the meter and it was 40 k plus the toll.

I'd recommend the airport bus, as well.

I was on business recently in Seoul and the daft suit I was with insisted on getting a cab from Incheon airport to the Westin Chosun Hotel (quite central).

It cost over 130,000Won with the meter on.

Terrible waste of cash.

From the airport to Seoul Station (and vice versa), the big, comfy, nonstop, luxury bus is 12,000. It runs every 15 minutes or so from early in the morning until well into the night. Why take a cab for 3 times that?

Take the shuttle...cheaper and its convenient.

If you are new to Korea why take a cab?
