Minimum time to transfer between Incheon and Gimpo airports
I purchased a ticket from Seattle to Tokyo with a 3 hour layover in Incheon airport in Seoul, South Korea. After purchase the airline canceled the ICN-HND flight and replaced it in my itinerary with a Gimpo to Haneda flight; however, the new flight leaves only 1 hour 50 minutes after the first is scheduled to land. Transferring via a separate airport will require not only the transit time between airports, but going through immigration and customs at ICN, and checkin and security at GMP. Is 2 hours enough time for that process?
Transfer from Incheon airport to Gimpo and vice versa covers the mechanics of transferring between the airports but not the minimum time to do so.
Best Answer
Korean Air has a table of transfer times / minimum connection times on their site.
Considering you have an international (Incheon) to international (Gimpo) transfer, their site oddly doesn't cover this, but does cover International flight (Incheon Airport) > Domestic flight (Gimpo Airport), which has a minimum connection time of 150 minutes. Give you're going international, that's at least another 20 minutes if you're lucky, but even ignoring that, 150 minutes is more than your current gap of 110 minutes.
Short answer: You need at least 2.5 hours.
