I'd guess most people who haven't traveled domestically in Korea don't know this, full stop.
- jhugo 6y agoGimpo's fairly big for business travel among the big East Asian cities too - Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Shanghai and Beijing (and maybe some others?) all have direct flights. In most cases those flights are to the more convenient "city" airport in those cities too.
- culturestate 6y agoI've been flying in and out of Seoul for years from Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc and I've never once been offered a flight to Gimpo. Could be an artifact of always flying the same airlines (mostly CX/SQ) though.
- jhugo 6y agoCX might have used to have a flight to Gimpo, but not now, and SQ doesn’t. I’ve flown there internationally on JAL, China Southern, Shanghai Airlines, and China Airlines, maybe some others. I did notice that corp travel agents sometimes only search Incheon and need to be reminded that Gimpo exists.
- wmoser 6y agoThe real fun is when you have to go from Gimpo to Inchon on a short connection because your company’s travel agents don’t know.
