Room:
Deluxe Airport View 832. Arrived in darkness to int terminal. Enormous new GA hangars open and lit with
just an unidentified Kingair inside. Quick through immigration and a short walk
over to hotel which is on top of a shopping mall. Views are of the northern
half of the field including international stands and remote parking for biz and
stored ATR’s. A window in the corridor looks back to domestic term and Korean maintenance. Up early and a walk over to the decks … the old KAA
deck remains closed (I asked at the building front desk and no one knew what I
was talking about) but the new one in the top left corner of the domestic is a
welcome option to hang out and graph a few. Coffee shop right by the entrance
and usual stuff in the terminal downstairs. Once most gaps filled, down to the
railway station for the short trip to ICN. Cash required for ticket.
Update from November 2025 (Credit Neil Martin): I stayed in room 506 and 716 during my time there. They were both fine and allowed me to overlook the Intl Terminal and see the aircraft to climb away from runway 34, or approach and land on runway 16. For the price the view isn’t really worth it after a morning spotting at the observation deck the number to cost ratio is high, however its a convenience for the airport and the metro / train system. On hindsight I would of just booked the extra nights at the Incheon Ora and get the train for the visit to Gimpo.
