The image above is a simplified map of Terminal 1 transportation center. Go down to the basement floor of Incheon Airport Terminal 1 and go to the red circle (Incheon Airport Transportation Center).


 

If you arrive at Terminal 2, go down to B1 in the same way, and then go to the place marked with the red circle.

The trains at Incheon Airport are divided into express train and all stop train.




To use express train, you can find express train information at the airport to purchase tickets, or you can also purchase tickets in advance.

Express trains arrive at the station about every 40 minutes. However, it does not stop at another station in the middle, and you can go directly to Seoul Station.


 

 

If you want to use a all stop train, buy a ticket at the ticket machine.

Regular trains are available every 15 minutes, but they stop at all stations.

You can use the subway by releasing a one-time ticket at the ticket vending machine.

If you purchased a ticket in advance, you will be issued a physical ticket if you scan the barcode sent to the ticket machine.

 


Please refer to the above for more information.

 

 


There are two train stations. The blue sign on the left indicates all stop train and the orange sign on the right indicates express train. Follow this to board the train.
