Incheon Airport has Terminal 1 and 2 
1. Check the terminal location in advance 

 

The terminal location varies by airline.
Airlines that many passengers use, such as Korean Air and Jin Air, operate from Terminal 2. 

You should check it in advance because it is too far to walk between Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2).
 
To transit between T1 and T2, you need to take either public transport - shuttle bus and airport railroad - or your own vehicle. 
Since it takes around 15 to 20 minutes by the shuttle bus, it is crucial to know your terminal clearly before heading to the airport. 
 

Skip the lining up for the check-in counter
2. Self Check-in and Self Bag Drop




After arriving at Incheon Airport, you need to check in and drop off your luggage.
Waatching people standing in a long line for the check-in counter might be frustrating.
 
But have you known that you do not have to check in and drop off your luggage at the manned counter?
In that case, you can use Self Check-in and Self Bag Drop machines! 

They are located next to the check-in counters on the 3rd floor oof the departure hall, so it would be easy to find them. 
 

No need to take the electronic devices out
3. Smart Security Check
 


Once you have checked in and dropped off your luggage, it is time for a security check!

At Gate 3 in Terminal 1, there is a Smart Security Check, where you do not need to remove any electronic devices, such as laptops and tablets. 
Without taking your laptop or tablet out of your bag, you can have a security check much faster than before and save your time!


Facial recognition for departure
4. Smart Pass with Mobile Application 
 


To pass through departure control, it is normally required to check your passport 📗 and boarding pass🎫.
 
However, if you download the Smart Pass app and register your face and passport information in advance before your trip, 
you can skip the inconvenient checking procedures and just pass through easily by scanning your face! 🙂
 
Smart Pass is a service, which allows you to pass through the departure check with facial recognition on your smart device!
In addition, there is a seperated line just for Smart Pass user, which makes the process even faster. 🤗
