The board needs JavaScript to read your landing time. Last trains from T1: express 22:48, all-stop to Seoul Station 23:38. Night bus N6701 to Seoul Station leaves T1 at 23:50, 00:40, 01:40, 03:45 and 04:40.

How it works

Rules, sources and what we don’t know

You are ready when you land plus the time you need to get out (the airport suggests 1 to 2 hours).
For AREX we take the first train from your terminal at or after that time that stops at your area’s station. If none runs tonight, the board shows tomorrow’s first train and tonight’s last one.
The 23:56 from T1 (23:50 from T2) only goes as far as Digital Media City. When it is the next train you could catch but it doesn’t reach your station, it gets an amber TERMINATES DMC row.
For night buses (N6000, N6002, N6701, N6703) we take the next departure from your terminal and add the published minutes to your stop. Times on the road are approximate.
The taxi row is Seoul City’s fixed International Taxi fare from Incheon Airport for your district, tolls included.
The answer is the option that gets you there first. If it leaves 90 minutes or more after you are ready, the board adds one more row: the wait.

Reading the board

GO (green): it still runs after you’re out.
CLOSED TONIGHT · LAST hh:mm: tonight’s last one has left; the time on the left is tomorrow’s first.
TERMINATES DMC (amber): this train stops short of your station.
NOTICE (amber): a strike or change is announced for your night. The train may not run.
WAIT: how long you’d sit before the best option leaves.

Regular taxis are metered: +40 % from 23:00 to 02:00, +20 % from 22:00 to 23:00 and 02:00 to 04:00.

Questions

What time is the last train from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station?

The last all-stop AREX train that reaches Seoul Station leaves T1 at 23:38 (arrives 00:38) and T2 at 23:32. The last express leaves T1 at 22:48 (arrives 23:31) and T2 at 22:40. Weekday timetable, checked 11 Nov 2026.

Why do some sites say 23:50 or 23:56?

That train (23:50 from T2, 23:56 from T1) runs only as far as Digital Media City and arrives there at 00:44. It does not reach Hongdae, Gongdeok or Seoul Station. AREX said so in its press release of 16 Sep 2026.

AREX press release

Is there a night bus to Myeongdong or Seoul Station?

Yes: N6701. From T1 it takes about 60 minutes to Seoul Station and 65 minutes to Euljiro 1-ga (Myeongdong), and costs ₩18,000. N6001 is no longer listed on the airport’s pages.

How much is a taxi from Incheon Airport to Seoul at night?

International Taxi (for foreign visitors) has fixed zone fares from ₩70,000 to ₩95,000, tolls included. Regular taxis use the meter, with a 40 % surcharge from 23:00 to 02:00.

How long does it take to get out of the airport?

The airport says to allow 1 to 2 hours after landing. Pick 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes on the board: it uses your choice, it doesn’t guess the queue.

What if everything has left?

The first trains leave T1 at 05:14 (all-stop) and 05:24 (express), and T2 at 05:08 and 05:16. The board’s waiting row shows how long that is from when you’re out. Taxis run all night.

Will AREX run during the Nov 13 strike?

AREX says express trains run 100 % and all-stop trains about 71 % (263 of 369). Late trains may be cut, so on that night the board flags all-stop trains and never picks them.
