Before you choose
Is Seoul Station the right stop for you?
The Express connects Seoul Station with Incheon Airport T1 and T2. For a Hongdae stay, the All-Stop train reaches Hongik University directly; the Express does not stop there.
Match the train to your flight
Allow 43 minutes between Seoul Station and T1, or 51 minutes for T2. These are train times: immigration, baggage collection and the walk to the platform take extra time.
From booking to boarding
Choose your journey
Match T1 or T2 to your flight, then choose the direction and one-way or return ticket.
Keep your voucher handy
Open the electronic voucher on your phone and follow its ticket-collection instructions.
Find the Express Train entrance
At either airport terminal, head to the B1 Transportation Center. At Seoul Station, the Express service center is on B2.
Board your reserved train
Check the departure, carriage and seat on the issued train ticket. Follow the Express Train signs, not the All-Stop gates.
A few useful answers
Does a child under 6 need a ticket?
On this listing, a child under 6 can ride free on a parent’s lap. For a separate seat, choose a paid ticket.
Can I take the train late at night?
The Express does not run around the clock. Check the current AREX timetable after allowing time to leave the airport.
