Hi guys,

My family is coming over a week on monday, and as I'm teaching when they arrive I cant meet them at the airport. They need to get to Bupyong or Juan station, I can meet them there and get them directed to the right place.

How does one get from the airport to these places with minimum hassle? (They will be carrying 3 suitcases + carryon bags). If a shuttlebus or similar is out, how much does a taxi cost to get to Bupyeong?

Thanks y'all

It should be about 30,000 from there to Bupyong, no more than 40,000.

They have awesome Airport Limosine buses, one of them goes to Juan (eventually). Tell them to go to the information centre and ask which bus departs for JOO AN.

There's a bus that runs from the airport to Incheon station via Dong Incheon station. It's bus number 306, costs 3,500 Won and runs every 15 minutes. It takes less than a half-hour to Dong Incheon, and from there they can hop on the subway to Juan or Bupyeong. I think it's stop 9A at the airport, but you'd have to check that.

There's another bus from the same stop that goes direct to Bupyeong, which I think is the 111, but again you'd need to check.

The 111 goes to Bupeyong but I woudn't reccomend it for your parents with luggage and no Korean ability. The bus drivers are a little aggressive and not very helpful when it comes to helping with luggage and lack of language.
