Documents to keep handy

Passport
K-ETA or e-Arrival confirmation (offline screenshot)
Hotel name + address (Korean helps)
Return or onward ticket if asked

Connectivity right after landing

Pre-installed eSIM is usually fastest if already activated.
Physical SIM / Wi-Fi egg counters operate in arrivals — hours and stock vary; check airport info rather than assuming 24/7 for every kiosk.

Getting into Seoul

See Airport to city for AREX, airport limousine buses, and taxis. Do not memorize yesterday’s fare board — check current prices on the airport site or transport operators.

Terminal tip

ICN has multiple terminals. Confirm which terminal your flight uses before arranging pickups. Follow overhead signs; volunteer helpers are common near major junctions.

Tip
Quarantine / health screening rules can change. If prompted for a health QR or form, follow current KDCA / airport instructions (qcode.kdca.go.kr when applicable).
