Compare not only the cost, but also baggage, exchange conditions, arrival airport, and transfer duration.

Practical information

How to Prepare for a Trip to South Korea

The main international entry point to South Korea is Incheon, but the airport code SEL encompasses several airports in the capital region. For travel outside Seoul, compare domestic flights, high-speed trains, and intercity buses in advance.

Airports

SEL combines ICN and GMP

ICN handles most long-haul international flights, while GMP is convenient for some domestic and regional destinations. Changing airports requires a ground transfer.

Season

Spring and autumn are convenient for the city program

Summers can be hot and rainy, while winter temperatures drop below freezing. For Jeju Island and mountainous areas, check the separate forecast.

Transport

Trains and metro reduce travel times

Trains and buses run from Incheon to Seoul. High-speed trains are available between major cities, and the transport card is convenient for city travel.

Payment and communication

Maps are available, but transport requires preparation

Cashless payments are available almost everywhere, but a backup is useful for transportation and small purchases. Choose roaming, an eSIM, or a tourist SIM card in advance.

Check out the country's official tourism website for attractions, events, and regional routes.
