Follow the journey, step by step

  1. Walk to Gimpo Airport Station

    Follow subway and AREX signs from your terminal to the Gimpo Airport Station connection. With large luggage, also look for lift and escalator signs.

  2. Choose an All-stop train that calls at Hongik University

    Check the board for a Seoul-bound AREX All-stop train that calls at Hongik University. Keep Express and All-stop tickets and gates separate.

  3. Choose the exit for your Hongdae stay

    After alighting, use the Korean hotel address to find the nearest exit and final walk. Hongdae, Yeonnam-dong and Hapjeong stays can require different directions from the same station.

Check departures and the last service

Use Korea time (KST). Check the service from your arrival terminal after immigration and baggage claim. For connections, check the last departure of every leg, not just the first train or bus.

Seats, road delays and same-day cancellations are not live on this page.

From your arrival stop to your stay

The main arrival reference is Hongik University Station. A city name alone is not a hotel address. Use the actual stop on your ticket and the Korean accommodation address from your booking.

Opens Google Maps. Confirm the property, stop, exit and walking or transit route there.
