Arriving at Incheon Late at Night: Night Buses, Last Trains, Taxis
The last all-stop AREX train that reaches Seoul Station leaves Terminal 1 at 23:38 and Terminal 2 at 23:32. After that, your choices are a night bus or a taxi. Passport control and baggage take time, so plan for a train you can really catch.
Night buses
These routes run through the night. Times are departures from the airport; the early-morning ones belong to the next calendar day.
| Bus | Operator | From the airport |
|---|---|---|
| N6000 | Airport Limousine | 23:50 – 04:20 |
| N6002 | Airport Limousine | 23:40 – 04:40 |
| N6701 | K Airport Limousine | 23:30 – 04:40 |
| N6703 | K Airport Limousine | 23:20 – 04:50 |
Night bus tickets
Night buses N6000 and N6002 need a ticket from the ticket counter or a machine at the airport before boarding; the machines work 24 hours. See the ticket guide.
Taxi at night
A standard taxi adds a night surcharge on the whole fare: 20% from 22:00 to 23:00, 40% from 23:00 to 02:00 and 20% from 02:00 to 04:00. There is no out-of-city surcharge from the airport to Seoul. Hongdae from Terminal 1 costs about KRW 45,100 – 53,200 by day and about KRW 63,100 – 74,500 at 23:30, plus a toll of about KRW 3,200. Use the taxi fare calculator for your area and time.
A simple plan
- Landing well before the last train (allow time for passport control and baggage): check the AREX last train and the last day bus on the page for your destination area.
- Landing later: pick a night bus that stops near your hotel, or a taxi from the signposted stand.
- Never accept a ride from someone who approaches you in the hall: see taxi scams and international taxis.
