Took a flight to PUS from GMP. GMP is a small domestic airport. The terminal was clean. The security staff
were efficient but rude. The toilets were clean. The terminal has wifi and LED TV's for customers.

Domestic terminal. Very efficient and easy to use terminal though most of the shops are land-
side (before security) and open after 8am. Great terminal to use for domestic short flights.

I travelled here from Haneda in order to avoid the Incheon haul. I found it convenient, slightly
dated, but overall efficient and the experience was trouble free. Like a previous writer if coming
from Tokyo go Haneda to Gimpo.

I used both domestic and international terminals last week, what a joy. Immigration and security are
efficient and take very little time, easy transfer between terminals and there's loads of space
airside. LHR could learn a lot from here.

Had a few bad reports about GMP, but I found the place excellent in
domestic arrivals - slick and quick. Masses of Transport Links. Great
Domestic Airport.

Gimpo is one of those few
diamonds in the rough for people in the know. Formerly the only
international airport in Korea, it currently only has service to Tokyo
Haneda, as well as domestic services. But if by chance you happen to be
travelling between Seoul and Tokyo, you would have to be crazy not to
fly this route. Tokyo Haneda is actually *in Tokyo for starters, and
Gimpo is presently served by a rail link! For comparison, one should
allow about 4 hours to get to Tokyo Narita Airport, and then take either
a bus or a taxi for perhaps two hours between Seoul and Inchon (and
watch out for Korea's infamous bullet taxis, even if they somehow cut
the time in half! (You can "do the math" on the speeds they achieve.))
(While Inchon is a wonderful facility for transfer flights, it's
presently quite weak if one is actually going to/from Korea itself.)
Besides the convenience to/from Tokyo, Gimpo's international terminal is
beautiful and helps one reminisce of the 88 Olympics, Seoul's now
nostalgic debut on the world stage. I can only presume that more
international service is expected as well, as the terminal certainly has
the excess capacity, while the rail link to Inchon won't be done till
2008. More international service would certainly be welcome as far as
I'm concerned.

Recently I have flown both into and out of GMP from/to HND (Tokyo's
second airport) and must say it's great. No queues, no long walks,
quick baggage delivery, a more-than-just-OK lounge and much closer to
the city than Incheon. Just waiting for them to introduce China
flights.

Gimpo airport is now used for domestic passengers and since 2002 World
Cup Korea/Japan, the flight between Seoul and Tokyo has been operated.
(16 flights per day nowadays). The domestic terminal of recent days was
International Terminal 1 (1980s~2001), so I think the passenger terminal
is spacious enough, and the structure is pretty simple, you wouldn't
miss your way. From 2004, KORAIL (the Korean Railway Corporation) begins
the KTX( the high-speed train) service, so KAL and JAL devote themselves
to promoting people to use their fleet, but the result is "decreased
domestic flight schedule". So Gimpo Airport is not so crowded during
weekdays (except early-morning of Monday and Friday evening). The
interior decoration is modern and illuminance is well. Above all,
Koreans have the thought that the toilet makes the entire image of the
building, so you would be surprised at the cleaness of the toilets
inside the terminal. Consequently, I think Gimpo Airport is good for the
2nd airport of the capital of certain nation.
