Landing at Incheon International Airport (ICN)
- Airport
- ICN / RKSI
Getting into Incheon
- AREX to Gyeyang, interchange for Incheon Subway Line 1 (ICN). Runs through tunnels, where a signal drops
Underground and on the metro
Incheon Subway runs 3 lines. It opened in 1999. The operator does not publish whether the tunnels carry a mobile signal, so we do not claim either way.
Worth knowing about Incheon
- The airport is west of Incheon's own city centre and is not directly on the Incheon Subway: the connection is made by taking AREX to Gyeyang and changing to Incheon Line 1.
- Incheon Subway Line 2 has above-ground sections north of Asiad Stadium, so coverage behaviour differs from the fully bored parts of the network.
- Seoul Metro Line 7 extends into Incheon with 11 stations, so the city is reachable on the Seoul network as well as its own.
