AREX (Airport Railroad Express)
If you're looking to get into Seoul quickly you can take the Airport Railroad Express Train (AREX). It takes 43 minutes from Incheon airport to Seoul station or Seoul station to Incheon airport. This is part of the airport railroad, but does not make any other stops.(There is also an all stop train. its cheaper, but takes longer and has no assigned seating) The express train goes straight from Incheon airport to Seoul station. You can also take it from Seoul station to Incheon airport.
I booked my ticket through Klook.com for a discounted price of 6,100 won.The regular price is 9000 won for an adult ticket and 7000 won for a child.
Finding the airport railroad is pretty easy. There are signs in the airport that will lead you in the right direction.
You can purchase your ticket from the ticket machine. If you booked through a company you will redeem the voucher. It was quick and easy for me. I used it twice during my 2 week stay in Korea.
When you redeem your voucher you will insert a 500 won coin as a deposit. You will get a card to use as your ticket and a receipt will print out with your seat assignment. You will then use your card to go through the turnstiles and down to the track.
After your journey is over you exit the turnstiles and find a 'ticket refund' machine. Insert your ticket and you will receive your 500 won deposit back.
I would definitely recommend using AREX if you want a better experience than using the regular airport railroad.
