Parking at Seoul's Airports

Parking at Incheon International Airport includes short-term, long-term, and valet options. Daily rates range from eight thousand to twelve thousand won. Gimpo International Airport has three parking lots, which are located next to the domestic terminal, next to the international terminal, and next to the freight office building. However, these lots are intended for day use, not long-term parking, so the cost for parking is about two thousand won per hour.

Local private car parks are also available near Gimpo International Airport.

With summer temperatures soaring into the 30s during the day and the 20s at night, lightweight clothing is ideal to keep you cool. During the winter, daytime temperatures hover just above freezing, and night-time temperatures dip below 0ºC, so wearing layers with a warm coat, a pair of gloves, and a hat is necessary to stay warm. Fall and spring temperatures range from 10ºC to 15ºC, so bring a lightweight jacket, long-sleeve shirts, and long pants. If you travel in July or August, bring a rain coat or umbrella, as these are the months when rain is most common.
