Gimpo Airport Transfer
Gimpo Airport (GMP) to Seoul by AREX, subway lines 5 and 9, taxi or a private transfer from US$80 for up to three, plus Gimpo to Incheon (October 2026).
Gimpo Airport (GMP) is the closer of Seoul’s two airports: it is inside the city, on its western side, and it mainly handles domestic and short-haul flights. From Gimpo, the AREX airport train and subway lines 5 and 9 run into the centre; for a car, HavenTrip’s Gimpo transfer is from US$80 for up to three (GetYourGuide, October 2026).
Which airport is closer to Seoul, Gimpo or Incheon?
Gimpo. Incheon is the large international airport farther west, about one to two hours from central Seoul by road; Gimpo is a short ride from the centre. Many flights from Jeju and other Korean cities, and some short international routes, use Gimpo, so check your ticket: a driver booked for the wrong airport is a long way from you.
How do I get from Gimpo Airport to the city?
By train: the AREX line runs from Gimpo Airport to Hongik University (for Hongdae) and Seoul Station. By subway: lines 5 and 9 also stop at Gimpo Airport station, line 9 toward Gangnam. By taxi: the same Seoul meter as anywhere in the city, from 4,800 won, with the night surcharge between 22:00 and 04:00. By private car: booked ahead, with a fixed price.
How do I get between Gimpo and Incheon airports?
On the AREX all-stop train, which links the two: 4,350 won from Incheon Terminal 1 to Gimpo Airport and 4,950 won from Terminal 2, by transit card (AREX, October 2026). It is the usual connection between an international arrival at Incheon and a domestic flight from Gimpo.
