From Airport to Myeong-Dong Area

What are the various options for getting to Myeong-Dong Area for ICN?





What is the ';KAL Limousine bus'; and how much does it cost?





Is there a subway and/or train from ICN to the Myeong-Dong Area?





Thanks!



From Airport to Myeong-Dong Area


Taking the Airport limo, is the cheapest option for one or two passengers, if more, it might be better if you take a jumbo van.





Just exit ( think exit 11 or 12, can%26#39;t recall ) and look for bus 605-1 and you will get to Myeondong, they stop at Sejong Hotel, you can let the Limo bus travel that you want to get off there but its one of the more popular stop.





I am not sure if the fare is still the same but you can check this out.

From Airport to Myeong-Dong Area


KAL bus is run by Korean Air Lines, duck egg blue bus. Costs 14000 won and runs on different lines to various hotels. Journey time 60-90 mins dep on time of day.



Subway can get you there, but involves changing trains a couple of times and usually with stairs to negotiate.





Google ';KAL Limousine';- the Korean Air website is pretty helpful. Route 1 is the KAL one for you.



O/wise there%26#39;s an Incheon airport website that sets out all the options





Limousine buses also run by others; lines 600 onwards. Cost is a little less, but space on bus also less.



I%26#39;d go for the KAL bus every time to be honest: spacious reclining seats and an ice box with water make it good after a long flight. A porter loads your baggage and gives you a receipt.



What hotel do you stay in?




Thanks for the detailed reply. I am staying at the Ibis Myeong-Dong.




Yes: KAL bus- take City Hall line, get off at Lotte Hotel




I am staying at Sejong Hotel in Myeong-Dong and I was checking the KAL website but die not notice that there is a stop there. Does that mean that I have to take the normal Airport bus and not the KAL Limousine?




to Myeong Dong, you can still take KAL bus, but there will be a walk. the 601 bus( I think -you need to check) would also work, and there are other buses as wel- or indeed the subway which is longer more complicated but cheaper




I think I will opt for the Airport bus as I don%26#39;t want to be carrying my luggage. I will check at the information counter. Thanks.
