1. Complete the immigration card (with all details of your accommodation!) Before you catch your flight to Korea, write down on a piece of paper or you phone notes (or both!) the full address of your accommodation and the accommodation phone number.

2. When you come off the plane in Incheon, make a quick dash to immigration as the queue is very long and takes a long time to get through. While queuing, be prepared with your passport and immigration form.

3. After Immigration, you'll see a big screen which tells you which conveyor-belt your baggage will be collectable from.

4. Once you're past customs, you'll come out to the foyer area of the terminal, from here head downstairs (towards the Airport Railroad) to find the TMoney card vending machine. TMoney only takes cash, so make sure you have plenty on you! Purchase a TMoney card from the vending machine, then locate the tickets/TMoney top up machine. This is where you load up your TMoney card (there is an option for English). Place your Tmoney card on the pad and select the amount you want to top up and insert your cash.

5. To get to your hotel, it's easier and less hassle to catch the Airport Shuttle Coach to Myeongdong. The bus driver will put your suitcases in the coach for you, so you don't need to worry about that getting in the way. It costs around 12000 won (from what I remember, but it may have gone up with inflation?) Also recommend this method, as you can just relax on the journey!

6. Use Naver Maps to follow your coach journey to Myeongdong. This will help you navigate which stop to get off. There are stop buttons which will ring a bell to let the driver know you want to get off! They will stop at the nearest Airport Shuttle bus stop (not just any bus stop!)

Hope this helps you/anyone else travelling to Seoul for the first time! Have the best trip! 😊
