Arrive — your first 2 hours
Incheon Airport → your hotel. The cheapest option depends on your group size, not habit.
Airport arrival chooser
Pick your situation — the chooser applies the decision rule from our Incheon guide: divide the taxi fare by your headcount.
The four options, price-checked
| Option | Price | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AREX Express | ₩13,000 / person | 43–51 min | Solo, fixed fare, no traffic risk |
| AREX all-stop | ₩4,750 (T1) / ₩5,350 (T2) | ~59–66 min | Cheapest rail; hotels near intermediate stops |
| Airport limousine bus | ₩17,000–18,000 / person | 60–80 min | Direct to hotel districts; T2 is ticket-only |
| Taxi (metered) | ₩65,000–75,000 / car | 55–85 min | 3+ travelers — split beats per-person fares |
| Private van (indicative) | ₩100,000–170,000 / vehicle | 55–85 min | 5–6 travelers + bags, door to door |
