AREX express train to Seoul Station: ~45 min, ~9,500 KRW. Airport Limousine buses go directly to major hotels. Taxis cost roughly 60,000–90,000 KRW. You can also book a private transfer on this site.

Visa, Mastercard, and JCB are accepted at virtually all hotels, restaurants, and major stores. Pick up a T-money transit card at any convenience store for buses, subways, and small purchases.
When is the best time to visit Korea?
April for cherry blossoms and October–November for autumn foliage are the most photogenic. July–August is hot and rainy; December–February brings ski season, with milder weather on Jeju Island.
How is internet and Wi-Fi access in Korea?
Pick up a pocket Wi-Fi (Egg), prepaid SIM, or eSIM at the airport. 5G/LTE coverage is excellent. Most cafés, subway stations, and hotels offer free Wi-Fi.
