What should I know before I arrive?
Fares, routes and times checked November 2, 2026
Pick your route by the nearest stop to your hotel before you go to the bus bays, because each route serves a different part of Seoul. Incheon Airport lists dozens of Seoul routes, and the ticket you buy shows the stop number to wait at.
- Worth knowing: Since the fare is per ride, not per stop, a bus that drops you within a short walk of your hotel can beat a transfer from the train.
- A common mistake: Boarding without a ticket. Buy a ticket from the booth or machine first; the airport describes on-site purchase from staff or kiosks, and Korea Airport Limousine says to buy reserved tickets in advance for airport departures.
- Local tip: Routes, timetables and temporary detours change. The Korea Airport Limousine site posts notices, including timetable changes effective May 1, 2026, so check the route page before you travel.
Which limousine bus route goes near my hotel?
Look up your hotel area in the airport's bus search, then match it to a route number. The Incheon Airport bus search lists the route numbers below with the stop or area shown for each; the Korea Airport Limousine route page covers the 6701 series.
| Route | Area shown in the listing |
|---|---|
| 6001 | Dongdaemun |
| 6002 | Cheongnyangni Station |
| 6005 | Seoul City Hall |

Route 6701 stops, per the operator, include the Plaza Hotel at City Hall, the Westin Josun, Euljiro 1-ga Station, Myeongdong (Aloft Seoul and Le Meridien), Gwanghwamun, Gongdeok Station and Mapo Station. The airport page lists only the main stop for most other routes, so confirm the full stop list for your route before you go.
Practical example: a traveller staying in Myeongdong can look at route 6701 for its Myeongdong stops, while someone heading to COEX or Gangnam would check 6703.
