KUL-ICN by Airasia X :: Day 02 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

At 00:30, we boarding. The flight to Incheon, is a big flight. And from Airasia X Company. The seat arrangement is 3-3-3.

Fortunately, there's 1 vacant seat in my row. So, we use 3 seat for 2 people. We hope we can sleep well at night.

I can't sleep. Maybe because too excited. I just sleep for 1 / 2 hours. Besides, the steward and stewardess always walk around to offer some food and beverages.

At 06:00, I buy some Cammomile hot tea for MYR 4 (about IDR 12.340).

We can see sunrise from the plane.

At 08:45, we landing at Seoul-Incheon International Airport.
The first thing to do is, to buy some snack for breakfast. The CU market, has a long queue. We are at CU for almost 20 minutes. We also top-up our T-Money Card with KRW 20.000.

I just know, that if we buy something from CU market, we can't top up our T-Money Card while buy things. So, you can pay your things using your T-Money, or you can separate the bills. But, mostly, not many staff willing to separate your bills. I suggest, just top up more, to pay the things too if you face this situation.

We also decided to rent wifi router. I have contact 4gwifikorea, and they are available near Gate 7 arrival hall.
We rent the wifi 8 days for KRW 29.250 and can be used until 5 device. The customer service can speak English fluently. You need deposit KRW 100.000 and it will back to you when you return the device.

Then we go to out from Gate 7 and looking for airport limousine bus #4001 to Suwon Station.

And the bus park just right in front of the gate. Just approaching the bus and the driver will help you load your baggage to the bus. And get in, and don't forget to tell the driver where do you want to go, and touch your T-Money card inside the bus. Your T-Money card will reduce KRW 12.000 for the journey to Suwon Station.

We ride the bus at 10:10, and it will take about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

I call one of my friend who work in Korea that we are on the way to Suwon because we will meet up at Ivy Stay.

Incheon International Airport > Seoul ~ South Korea > Day 12 (1) - 2014 October 19 (Busan, Gyeongju, Seoul, Daegwallyeong, Nami Island, Mt Seorak, Kuala Lumpur)

Wake up at 4 o'clock then ride taxi to bus station at 5 o'clock because the airport bus schedule is on 05.50. We decided to ride taxi because our luggage. And it only took 5 minutes. The bus has already in there and it cost W10.000/pax to Incheon International Airport.

The road take 1 hours. After we arrive in there, we proceed to tax refund counter. It's easy. Just go to the counter to check your shopping that wants to refund, don't forget, don't put your buying staff inside the luggage first. So after you got a stemple, then you proceed to the refund self-counter. Scan your passport, and your receipt, then the computer will tell you how much will you got.

If you didn't understand how to do this, ask the staff. They will help you.

Prepare much time before boarding.

After that, we put our buying things to our luggage, and proceed to check-in.

After that we go to subway station to refun our card which happened that we could refund at convenient store. And that's our mistake. The subway station is so far away from international departure and we waste time in there.

After that we eat breakfast on the 2nd floor of International Departure.

We passed Everysing SMent Shop.

Then there's a lot of restaurant and food court. We eat the food court. You can order on the cashier, then you will got a number. Just wait until they call your number and you can take your order.
This is also one of our mistake. It tooks time, and we didn't realize what time is it now. So we just eat and enjoy our waiting. We thought that it's still a long wait.

Then we proceed to imigrations, and take our money on refund counter. After that, we need to ride the monorail to our waiting room.

Out from monorail, when we ride the escalator, we heard a calling, Airasia to Kuala Lumpur. That's when we realize, it's only 5 minutes before departure time. OMG~~~ 5 minutes before departure time and not boarding time. I make a quick react to scream "It's us..." Then they ask us to run. Fortunately, we have prepared our boarding pass so we directly boarding.

We sit in the back, and so many people saw us haha.. It's embarrased.

Next time, If we wants to roaming around the airport, we have to come earlier. It's our mistake because we didn't predict the time too.
I never experienced this things, and this is my first time and hopefully my last time. I didn't want to risk to missed the flight.

Then we said goodbye to Korea. See you next time...
