[Move] Korea – Transportation guide from Incheon Airport to City by Bus

A transportation guide which will focus on the bus service that is available from Incheon International Airport to your hotel. The reason for writing this post is for travellers who do not wish to carry their luggage climbing up the long and tiring stairs from the subway station and hoping to get right in front or close to their accommodation doorsteps with ease and comfort.

Our hotel is at Gangnam Ward, thus I will put down more detailed information on how to purchase the tickets, what bus to take and also, important points to note.

2 cents opinion:

CALT limousine is only convenient for travellers who are staying near to Samseong station at Gangnam area. If you are staying nearer to the Gangnam station (2 stops away from Samseong station), or city hall area it will be better to take KAL instead. Even though, KAL bus tickets after discount actually cost cheaper than CALT, however, taking CALT will take a shorter time to reach your destination as it is a DIRECT non-stop bus that only stops at Samseong station and COEX City Airport, unlike KAL limousine which will make a stop at most of the hotels.

For more information, visit CALT.
