I’ve used Incheon International Airport (ICN) many times when flying to or out of Korea. However, until a few weeks ago, all of the airlines I’ve travelled with were assigned to Terminal 1. This year, I gave my business to flag carrier Korean Air (KE) for the very first time, which in turn gave meContinue reading “Terminal Report: Incheon International Airport (ICN) T2, Seoul, South Korea”
Rail-Air Report: The Seoul Station City Airport Terminal and the A’REX Train to Incheon Airport, South Korea
Seoul, the bustling capital of South Korea, is a popular destination for tourism and business alike.

Flight Report: ICN-PUS on Korean Air Flight KE 1401 (02 February 2019)
In this report, we’ll look at a very short – but very special – 40-minute flight from Incheon to Busan. A couple of things made this experience stand out amongst my recent airborne adventures, despite its brevity. One: although the flight serves a domestic route, it’s treated as an international service. Two: the flight blessedContinue reading “Flight Report: ICN-PUS on Korean Air Flight KE 1401 (02 February 2019)”

Rail Report: Beppu to Fukuoka on the Yufuin no Mori, Japan (25 September 2018)
Think of Japanese trains, and the high-speed shinkansen will probably come to mind before anything else. But some of my favourite journeys were on much slower rolling stock, like the service that brought me from the onsen town of Beppu to the bustling centre of Fukuoka in nearly three and a half hours.
