Question 1

What will I find in Travel Tips?

Accepted Answer

Everything you need right after landing in Korea: arrival at Incheon or Gimpo airport and what to do in your first hour, how the airport train, airport bus and taxis compare on fare and travel time, SIM cards and eSIMs, getting and topping up a T-money transit card, paying with a foreign card, and claiming your tax refund — the things that cost you money when you do not know them.

Question 2

What should I sort out before I arrive?

Accepted Answer

A SIM or eSIM booked in advance is often cheaper than buying one at the airport, and a late-night arrival changes which airport buses and taxis are still running. Choosing a transit card and a payment method beforehand also saves you queueing once you land. Each column lists what to prepare.

Question 3

How often is the information updated?

Accepted Answer

Fares, routes and opening hours change, so our editors re-check and update the columns regularly. Even so, please confirm prices and times with the official source before you travel.
