Check tickets and boarding areas for your terminal

Check the route's boarding area at airport ticket counters or through official information. Terminal 2 and Terminal 1 use different floors and boarding locations.

Board a citybound bus

Alight in Myeongdong and travel to your accommodation

Alight at the citybound stop listed on your ticket and in the operator's guidance. After collecting luggage, compare your accommodation's Korean address and check a walking route or further public transport.

Does the All Stop Train fare also include the Line 4 transfer?

This guide's total fare to Myeongdong Station includes the AREX All Stop Train and Line 4. Follow transfer signs and use the same card; do not add the basic subway fare again.

Can the AREX Express Train take me straight to Myeongdong?

No. The Express Train runs to Seoul Station, so reaching Myeongdong requires a further transfer. It uses a separate ticket, while the total rail fare shown here is for the All Stop Train and Line 4.

Can I still make the transfer if I arrive late at night?

Check both the last AREX train and the last connecting subway. Judge this using the time you can reach the boarding area after immigration and baggage collection. If connections have ended, compare a night bus for your destination with the airport's official taxis.

Is a bus convenient if I have a lot of luggage?

Fewer transfers can be an advantage, but check the walk between the alighting stop and your accommodation. Subway travel involves moving between platforms and exits, so compare elevator locations alongside your accommodation address.
