Travel preparation
A first-day Seoul arrival checklist
Prepare the key airport bus information before landing so you can get from the terminal to your accommodation with less friction.
On your first day in Seoul, you need to account for luggage, terminal transfers, and check-in time. Preparing three pieces of information makes the airport-to-hotel journey easier.
Find the closest stop
Check your accommodation address on a map and search for nearby airport bus stops. The stop name may not match the hotel name, so try a nearby station or landmark as well.
Choose the correct direction
When travelling from the airport to Seoul, use the city-bound service rather than the airport-bound service. Check the direction tab on the route page to confirm the stop order.
Allow time after landing
Immigration and baggage claim times vary by flight and time of day. Instead of forcing a single departure, check the stop location and the next available services together.
