Description

Incheon International Airport, which opened in May 2011, is the biggest airport in Korea and serves as the main entrance gate for travelers visiting Korea. Incheon International Airport offers only three domestic routes: Daegu, Busan, and Jeju. It offers flights to Daegu and Busan two and seven times a day, respectively, and flights to Jeju twice a day except for Wednesdays and Thursdays (one flight each day). Most of the flights will operate under this schedule until October 2011, but direct inquiry to the airlines is recommended since the flight schedule is subject to change. To travel to Busan, Jeju, or Daegu, Gimpo Airport is a better option. Incheon International Airport is expected to have more domestic routes available in the near future.
