 Posted: Sat Jul 03, 2010 3:44 am Post subject: Very early arrival at Incheon Airport |
 |
|
My Father is arriving to Incheon at 3:10am. So, can someone please tell me if the airport buses (limousines spl?) can get me to the airport at that time and because if his arrival time do the buses run at that time or is it like a 5am start for the first bus?
All the bus stop signs for the airport buses seems that I have seen show about 5am start and a midnight finish.
Are there any other alternatives (other than taxi - too expensive; or train - they dont run at this time) to get too and from the airport.
If it is a 3:10am arrival I am prepared to go to the airport on the last bus trip and sit for 3 hours or so, but will we have to wait the hour or so (getting through immigation, collecting luggage and customes included in time after landing) until the airport buses start up again?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. |

From bigger cities, the busses to Incheon often run all night, 30 minutes or so apart. I took a bus in April leaving at 4am.
Where are you coming from?
A suggestion: Go to the bus terminal and just check it out. I usually do that anyway and buy my ticket ahead of time just in case b/c you could get there and it could be sold out. I was on a bus recently to Busan that I booked early that had -0- available seats on it, and it was an early hour, too.
Now coming back can be trickier because certain busses coming from Incheon DO stop. You can still get home but it just means getting to another bus terminal or taking one bus and a taxi somewhere else where they have busses running at that time.
I've always been able to get immediate and great help in the airport about which bus to take. |

yeah it totall depends on where you are - some do run all night but don't make the same stops, actually. some that run in odd hours make minimal stops but may be close to you and you can just take a taxi the rest of the way.
rather than go to the airport - look around where you live - find the airport bus stop, there may be more than one - look for a schedule, maybe a phone number will be posted. that should help. |

Hi There,
If it was up to me I would either hang out/ use a computer in Seoul and get the bus at 2am to the airport (I am not sure where they go from Seoul at that time maybe someone else could help) or go and try to get some rest at the spa on air/ bath-house in the basement floor below. |
