Thank you Stimix. I undecided to take train or limo bus from airport to downtown.
Any sifu knows how to calculate the cost of taking Airport train+MRT to say Myeongdon area ?
Will the train ride in underground thru out the whole journey ?

I would prefer Limo Bus because if taking train, one have to carry the luggers up and down to switch/transfer lines few times in order to reach the downtown destination.

Actually 334k won only can't achieve big saving la, after discounting the traveling cost to Kota Kemuning to COD. Wait till I come back on 23rd November if I have balance Korean money.

i'll be taking airport express to gimpo and then subway to seoul. u can get the price from korea tourism website (link below), quite interactive. just click on the stations and it will calculate the cost and also travel time. good for planning a swell.

ya but maybe the seller is giving a good rate smile.gif

anyway anyone in korea now? if the local exchange rate is > 1050 won per USD, then it's worth to change to USD here first.

Yeah me too undecided..and yes the luggages are the main concern.. I dun think much diff bcos that airport train to Gimpo also not cheap but they suppose to operate to Seoul by year end..now already year end wor hmm.gif

Problem wth bus, they stopped probably at Myeondong but you will having problem on the exact location. Thereafter probably need to take taxi to the hotel which probabloy just 400m away & they probably did the same thing as what KL taxi did..round & round b4 stopping at the hotel or telling you can't find the hotel hmm.gif sad.gif

i prefer to use train if it's nearer to the hotel. reason is that we will be arriving at night. so changing train is safer than walking at nigth at those areas that we are not familiar with.

Well, many ppl keep pm me about the korea trip. so i would like to share my piece of experience in korea in order to help you guys

The AA plane landed at korea at about 915pm (korea time), after the custom checking is about 10pm. So it is enough time for you to take the limousine bus to your destination. The operating hour for the limo bus as below link:

http://traffic.visitkorea.or.kr/Lang/en/Bu...ection=1&SIdx=3

My total expenses is RM2000 (exclude flight and hotel) for 2 person. Quite save right?  blush.gif

My trip is only at seoul, no skiing. almost the expenses spent on souvenier, ginseng and beauty product.

I didnt take the bus during the trip at korea (except limo to and from airport), instead i took the subway to my destination because the subway fare is very cheap (1000 won per trip) and almost every places can be visited by subway.

The places i went to:
1) Namsan park
2) namsangol hanok vilage
3) namdaemun (if you want to buy ginseng must come here)
4) lotte world
5) dongdaemun
6) cheonggyecheon stream
7) gyeongbokgung
8) Myeungdung (beauty product area)
9) insadong (souvenier area)
10) N tower

Thx for the info smile.gif My husband & I hv the same tot as u, plan to bring RM2500 (exclude flight and hotel) for souvenirs, ginseng, beauty products & clothes. Will oni take subway during the whole trip since the fare is relatively low smile.gif Places where we plan to visit r more or less the same as u, but we booked the Nami island package.
