Start with the airport code and terminal on the ticket. Incheon and Gimpo are different airports; distinguish Incheon T1/T2 and domestic or international terminals at Gimpo and Gimhae. Compare transport all the way to the accommodation, including the final connection.

Landing time is not your ground-transport departure time
International arrivals pass immigration, baggage collection and customs, and domestic arrivals may still need baggage time. Do not treat the scheduled landing time as the time you can board a bus.
Compare total group fare, seats, luggage, transfers and the final walk across rail, bus and taxi. Decide on a missed-last-service alternative before arrival and check delayed-flight handling for prebooked pickups.
Daegu Airport has no metro service directly into the terminal; connect by bus or taxi at Ayanggyo Station. Use the airport comparison for bus 401 options into the city and the stops in each direction.

Changing airports or terminals
If the itinerary requires Incheon-to-Gimpo travel, schedule the ground transfer explicitly. Ask the airline about baggage handling and the next check-in deadline; do not treat it like an ordinary train connection.
Korea Airports Corporation publishes Gimpo terminal shuttle routes. Being inside the airport does not mean walking or a shuttle is always the fastest or currently available; check the stop and current service details.
Before the return journey
- Recheck the terminal and check-in deadline against the airline’s latest information, not only the original booking.
- Allow separate time for traffic, car return and refuelling, Wi-Fi return and baggage organization.
- Use the official taxi stands at Incheon. The airport warns about illegal solicitation and overcharging by vehicles posing as taxis.

A few good questions
Are Incheon and Gimpo terminals of one airport?
No. ICN and GMP are different airports. Check the ticket code and next departure airport, and allocate separate transfer time.
Does the comparison end at my accommodation door?
The comparison uses representative stations or areas. Add the transfer, walk or taxi needed for the actual accommodation address.
Can I book the last bus based only on landing time?
Not reliably: immigration, baggage and delays are uncertain. Check change terms and an alternative for later travel.
