Incheon International Airport

We arrived the airport at around 8:40 am and clearing the custom was a breeze. Once arrived, we did the following:

 1. Get the Maps, T-money Mpass and attraction tickets

We got all of them at the Information Counter. Read more about the Incheon Airport in this post.
 
Note: T-Money Mpass is NOT recommended for most tourists. 

 

2. Subscribe for mobile data plan

We discovered that Olleh doesn't allow for subscription to the mobile data plan for tourists. However you can purchase the data plan at the convenience store easily via a token or a pin.

 

3. Purchase the Airport Limousine tickets at 10,000 won each

We purchased the Airport Limousine tickets at the ticketing counter. Bus No 6015  brought us to Prince Hotel. However, we have to alight at Myeongdong Sejong hotel and then walk across the zebra crossing to reach the Prince Hotel.

The hotel checkin was pretty quick and the corner unit allocated to us was pretty big.
  Just look at the size..!

 

Myeong-dong Cathedral

It was a 10 mins walk to the Cathedral and a small word of warning; you have to climb up a long stretch of stairs before reaching the Cathedral but it was worth the trip! The Cathedral was pretty grand looking - ok perhaps not as grand as the ones you get to see in Europe - and we managed to get in for a couple of close up shots too!
