Trip Q&A
Incheon Airport to the main concert venues
From Incheon Airport, the usual way to a Seoul venue is the AREX all-stop train into the city, then the subway. AREX connects with the subway at Seoul Station (Lines 1 and 4), Gongdeok (5 and 6), Hongik Univ. (2) and Gimpo Airport (5 and 9), among others. With heavy bags, an airport limousine bus can drop you closer: route 6200 stops at Olympic Park, 6705 at Gwangnaru for YES24 LIVE HALL, and 5600 at KINTEX. INSPIRE Arena runs free shuttles from both terminals.
AREX basics
- All-stop train: 59 minutes from T1 and 66 from T2 to Seoul Station. Card fares: T1 to Seoul Station 4,750 won, to Hongik Univ. 4,650 won. T-money works.
- Express: non-stop to Seoul Station in 43 minutes from T1 and 51 from T2, 13,000 won for adults. It only goes to Seoul Station, so for venues with several changes the all-stop train can be handier.
- Subway transfers: Seoul Station (Lines 1, 4), Gongdeok (5, 6), Hongik Univ. (2), Digital Media City (6), Magongnaru (9), Gimpo Airport (5, 9).
- All-stop trains leave T1 from 05:14 every day; the last one that reaches Seoul Station leaves T1 at 23:38.

Tips for the trip from the airport
- INSPIRE's shuttles are first come, first served, 40 seats a bus, and the resort warns you may not get your preferred departure on event days. Travel guides put a taxi at about 15 minutes and 12,000 won from T1, or 11 minutes and 10,000 won from T2.
- The 5600 bus to KINTEX stops leaving the airport at 18:40; on a later arrival, take the train or the 3300.
- Going straight from the airport to the show? Decide what to do with your suitcase first, and check the show notice for bag rules.
- Transport cards are sold at convenience stores (How to buy T-money).
FAQ
Express or all-stop?
The express is faster to Seoul Station but costs 13,000 won. The all-stop is slower but 4,750 won and lets you change at Gongdeok, Hongik Univ. or Gimpo Airport, so for venues far from Seoul Station it can get you there sooner.
My flight lands late. Can I still get into the city?
The last all-stop train that reaches Seoul Station leaves T1 at 23:38 (the 23:56 only goes to Digital Media City). Late-night airport buses (N6000 and others) also leave the airport from about 23:00 until about 04:00.
What if I land at Gimpo Airport?
Gimpo Airport Station is on Lines 5 and 9, so Olympic Park (Lines 5 and 9) and Gwangnaru for YES24 LIVE HALL (Line 5) need no change.
