Seoul Gimpo Airport customer review

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.

Seoul Gimpo Airport customer review

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.

Seoul Gimpo Airport customer review

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.
