AREX · Hongik University Station
Use AREX All Stop trains here to travel from Hongik University to Incheon Airport. Check whether the train terminates at the airport or Geomam, and choose the correct arrival station for T1 or T2.
A station for All Stop trains
Hongik University Station is served by AREX All Stop trains. The reserved-seat Express Train between Seoul Station and Incheon Airport cannot be boarded here. Even on the airport-bound platform, some trains terminate early, including at Geomam, so check the final destination on the display.
Different fares for T1 and T2
Current official station-to-station adult fares are based on prepaid or postpaid transport cards. A single-use transport card adds ₩100 to the regular fare, with a separate ₩500 deposit refundable at the destination station.
| Destination from Hongik University | Adult transport-card base fare |
|---|---|
| Gimpo Airport | ₩1,650 |
| Incheon Airport Terminal 1 | ₩4,650 |
| Incheon Airport Terminal 2 | ₩5,250 |
Find the elevators when carrying luggage
The official station guide places the airport-bound platform elevator at boarding position 4-3 and the Seoul Station-bound elevator at 3-3. Connections between Line 2, the Gyeongui–Jungang Line and AREX require a walk through transfer passages, so entering the station from street level is not the same as being ready to board. Follow AREX signs and the correct direction to the platform.
Check first and last trains by destination
The official timetable has weekday/holiday and destination filters. Late at night, the last train in the same direction may not reach Incheon Airport, so select Incheon Airport Terminal 2 rather than relying solely on the “All” list. No single fixed last-departure time is given here.
Allow more time after reaching the airport station
Incheon Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are separate railway stations. Confirm your flight’s actual terminal on the e-ticket or airline notice and get off at the correct station. After leaving the train, allow additional time to reach the terminal and counter, check baggage, pass security and complete departure immigration.

Our Last Goodbyes at the Airport
After the meal, we headed for the airport. I did not have to accompany them all the way; there would have been nothing strange about parting here. Yet somehow that option fell away…

We rode the Airport Railroad one stop farther and arrived at Incheon Airport’s Terminal 2. Most of the itinerary was already over, but we were not quite ready to part completely. So we…
