Getting to and from the airport
Your business class flights to Seoul will touch-down in Seoul Incheon which is located 30 miles west of Seoul. Therefore, if you choose to travel by taxi, expect the journey time to average between 60 to 70 minutes. International Taxis can be hailed outside arrivals and cost a flat fare of around 55,000 to 75,000 won depending on your destination in Seoul.
For the fastest way to get into the city, you can take the Railroad Express (Arex), which operates both Express Trains and All Stop trains from Terminals 1 and 2 to downtown Seoul. Express trains go directly to Seoul station and take around 45 minutes. All Stop trains have a few stops on the way and take around 55 to 60 minutes.
There’s also a Maglev (magnetic levitation) train, which goes from Incheon Airport Transport Centre to Yongyu Station, and from here you can connect to Seoul Subway or the Arex. Trains depart every 15 minutes and the journey time is roughly 12 to 14 minutes.

Besides purchasing cosmetics visiting dog cafes and trying your hand at karaoke, there are plenty of things to do in Soeul:
Gyeongbokgung – This royal palace was the main palace of the Joseon dynasty and was built in 1395. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in learning about Korea’s history and the grounds are beautiful to walk around.
Myeong-dong – If you want to shop till you drop then pay a visit to Myeong-dong – a shopping area packed with cosmetic shops, fashion brands and luxury department stores. Once you’re tired of exploring the shops, stop at one of the many casual-style restaurants for Korean dumplings and snacks.
