What do you do here?
Can you check your bags here? Is it just a place to catch a bus to Incheon Airport?
How long does it take to get to Incheon from there? how much is the fare? Do they take T-Money? |

If you are flying Korean Air or Asiana, you can check in. You can check your bags (approx 3 hours before the departure time only).
You can take a limousine bus directly to either Incheon or Gimpo. They leave every 20 minutes or so. Not sure about Gimpoo, but the fare to Incheon is 14,000 won.
Hope this helps. |

probably just as easy to check in online if you can and drop your bags at the airport when you get there.
how I do it normally. |

This is correct.
Since I live near this terminal, I always use it. The bus fare is a bit more expensive than the normal airport bus but it's more comfortable. There are only 3 seats per row.
Once you arrive at Incheon, there is a special entrance to the security and customs area that you can use. You won't have to deal with long lines. |

donno about T money but they DO NOT TAKE
credit cards
travelers checks
so make sure you have some won and/or are willing to do a quick bank w/d at the atm -
*unless things have changed - I found all this out the hard way when I was leaving a couple of years ago for an extended leave outside the country and didn't have any won left - ! |

| There is also a round trip bus ticket you can buy that makes it cheaper per leg. |

3 Hours before? Holy crap that is early.
My flight leaves at 10. So I need to get to the CoEx Airport Terminal by 7am? |

No. It means you can check in up to 3 hours before. I don't think that's true, though. I'm guessing you could check in 4 hours before if you want.
I wouldn't want to check in any later than 2 hours before your departure if you're going to Incheon. It takes about an hour to get there so that would leave you with about an hour at the airport if everything goes smoothly. For Gimpo, 2 hours would be more than sufficient. |

| Ticket counter didn't take credit card as of 6 months ago. T-Money, I didn't try. Checked in 2 hours before departure once and got reminded to be there 3 hours prior next time, but otherwise no problems. Never tried the customs/immigration area since I never had more than two people ahead of me at Incheon. I like the place since it is only a few minutes away from my place and I don't have to bother with long queues, but unfortunately really only for Air Asia and KAL - I was once on China Airlines serviced by KAL, but that didn't count - you must buy a ticket from either two airlines or check in at the airport. Love the limo buses, I always take the last row since it is almost always free and the seats recline more than the others, and you even have a bit more legroom. If only the plane seats were as comfortable! |
