does anyone know about simply having a shower in the departures terminal? i'm flying out of korea and would like to have a shower before my 15 hour flight... i know i'll be sweaty by the time i make it from daegu to incheon, so...

Yes you can, again the showers are in the Jimjilbang it's a flat rate - something like w10,000 for 12 hours or less and w15,000 for 12-24 hours I think.....

Liek the poster above ^ said the place is really nice - well worth a visist, I always make sure I get to the airport with plenty of time to spare so I can chill out in this area.

Another reason I love Incheon airport so much is because the food/internet are so reasonably priced - maybe only 10-15% higher that it would be outside the airport!

Another vote for the jimjilbang, I love it there.

I think there's also showers up on the fourth floor in the same area as the massage room - not sure whether they're available to non-customers, but it can't hurt to ask.

Awesome, I have an early morning flight coming up as well and wondered if you can sleep overnight at the jjimjilbang there. Anyone know the rate for a private sleeping room?

It's been a while, but I remember it was pricier than I expected. 25K or so, almost too much to make it worthwhile. That was the second time I stayed there, the first time it was much more reasonable.

terrible time it was crowded and a strange mid-aged man spoke to me for no reason and sat across me in the bath - that is no problem if we are on the subway but naked it is bad- he left when I was blunt and not overly friendly - I am always friendly with even the most rude middle school kid greeting me but that is a NO GO in a pool of hot water when you are buck naked... I would say get the private room unless you do not plan on sleeping well or sleep like a rock - of course I went there the last days of January so maybe there are not as many there now...

make a reservation if you want a sleeping room at spa on air

During the week would you really say it is necessary to make a reservation? I thought everyone just sleeps on the floor in a common area?? Thanks!
