Gimpo International Airport Visitors who arrived in Korea prior to April 2001 probably passed through Gimpo. It served as the nation's major international airport until the new one opened in Incheon, on Yeongjong-do Island. Now Gimpo serves as Seoul's major domestic airport.

The airport formerly used 3 passenger terminals (1 for domestic flights, and 2 for international flights), as well as a cargo terminal. The passenger terminals are interconnected underground by the subway station entrance. Shuttle buses also circle between all the terminals every 10-15 minutes. International terminal #1 and the domestic terminal have luggage storage areas that charge between W800-2,300 per day, depending on the bag size. Additionally, the subway station has storage lockers for W1,500 per day.

Hours: Planes generally arrive and depart between 6:00 a.m. and midnight.

Food and Drink:
The airport terminals have several snack shops and cafeterias selling food, as well as vending machines for drinks.
