"a second tier quality"
H Mayre (South Korea)
✅ Trip Verified | Gimpo international is not good. Crowded check in, long line for ticket control. Longer line for security check Passport control ok. This airport is a second tier quality. Especially compared to Haneda.

"a privilege to be able to travel via GMP in Seoul"
24 reviews A Wagner (Germany)
✅ Trip Verified | It is a privilege to be able to travel via GMP in Seoul. Not because the airport is extraordinary but because it is within the city of Seoul and much closer then the island of Incheon. GMP can be be reached by metro. It is a domestic and an international airport, the international connections are through towards Asian destinations. GMP has the Advantages and the disadvantages of an old city airport: easy to reach, more efficient security procedures but old facilities (like lounges).

"there was an effort to process people quickly"
P Thackray (United Kingdom)
Not Verified | International Arrival From Tokyo Haneda airport. Small and very busy airport. Passport Queues very long for late morning arrival. They did move, and clearly there was an effort to process people quickly. Toilet in the Passport Queue area and also in the Baggage Reclaim area. Only 2 carousels so things get a bit disorganised when there are delays in Passport Control. Quick Customs Check and into large Arrivals Hall. Most facilities and shops etc including travel desk for buses, trains etc. Things clean and tidy. The airport much nearer to centre of Seoul than Incheon airport so convenience a factor.

"40 min queue for security"
August Martens (Belgium)
✅ Trip Verified | Worst airport experience I have ever had! 40 min queue for security. Not able to check-in for transfer flight, so I need to use transfer desk at arrival airport. No English proficiency at all, rude staff, etc.. never use this airport for international flight, use ICN.

"very shabby and cramped"
Samuel Tam (Hong Kong)
Very shabby and cramped airport. Arrival and departure occur on the same level, which is chaotic. There is only one single cafe at the restricted zone with few choices of foo.d A drinking water machine for water refill is available though. The facade looks ugly. Extremely long queues at the security checkpoint. No clear instructions telling people where to queue. Some people jumping queues. Wasted half an hour there. Not enough seats for people to rest on.

Seoul Gimpo Airport customer review
Eric Kim (South Korea)
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.

Seoul Gimpo Airport customer review

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.

Seoul Gimpo Airport customer review

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.

Seoul Gimpo Airport customer review
Jon Brenda
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.
