 |
|
Hey all,
Sorry if this has been covered in other threads, but I can't seem to find the info using the search engine.
Does anyone know (or have a link to), the run times for the shuttle buses to Incheon Airport?
My flight to Tokyo is at 9:30 on Saturday morning, so I want to be at the airport around 7:00 for checkin.
Does anyone know the earliest time the buses run (out of Suwon)?
Any help would be appreciated. |

| I've taken a 5am shuttle from Hotel Castle in Suwon. No traffic and was at the airport by 6:15. |

Was this recently? Whenever I've flown out of Korea, my flights have always been afternoon/evening flights. This is the first daytime flight I've taken.
If there is a 5:00am shuttle, that's perfect for what I need.
Thanks

Just find Suwon and hit "detail."
For Suwon it's 80 mins travelling time and the first bus leaves at 4:50am. There's a contact # you can call to make sure on the details page. |

I plan on taking this shuttle, problem is I need to call a taxi to drive me to the hotel and I don't have a cell phone, might be problematic. Anyone have any advice?
Also, does anyone know what the luggage allowance is for these shuttles? |

The bus is scheduled to take 80 minutes from Suwon to ICN.
It has 2 stops - Castle Hotel and Hanil Town (in north Suwon).
1st bus is at ~4:45am and runs on a 20 minute schedule (3 times per hour). |

If you can put it on an airplane you can put it on the shuttle bus. They have HUGE luggage compartments under the bus.
In regards to the taxi... You should be able to find one on any main street any time the shuttle bus is running. An alternative would be to reserve a pick up - get a K-co-teacher/friend to book a "call taxi" for you.

in the morning the buses usually start their routes to the airport at around 5am.
The buses dont run 24/hrs a day... although there is a bus that runs to the airport around 2 or 230 from kangnam express bus terminal (i was happy to find this out when i had to go to the airport to meet an incoming arrival at 5am). |

Will there be taxis I can freely get at 5/6AM though? My flight is at 9:30, I should be there by 7:30, so I need to be on a bus at 6AM. |
