Landing early?
If your flight lands in the morning, before hotel check-in, a tour that starts at the airport and ends at your hotel in Seoul fills the gap.

Departure day tips
- Airlines usually ask you to be at the airport two to three hours before an international flight. Check your airline's advice and whether it flies from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2; the terminals are a shuttle ride apart.
- Checking out before an evening flight? Luggage storage at the airport, or a bag service from central Seoul, lets you spend the last day without your suitcase. Check the service's conditions for your airline.
- Allow for the ride from Seoul: the Express train takes 43–51 minutes from Seoul Station, and buses can be slower at rush hour.
