Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I land after midnight — how do I get to Jamsil?
Night bus N6703 runs after the regular buses stop. N6703 leaves T1 at 23:40, 00:20, 01:05, 01:45, 03:50 and 04:50 and stops at Seorae Village Entrance · Samseong Stn. (Grand Intercon Parnas Hotel) · Lotte World Hotel Jamsil · Dongseoul Bus Terminal (Gangbyeon Stn) · Gwangnaru Station. Buy the N6703 ticket first at a ticket counter or kiosk (T1 1st floor, T2 B1) before boarding at the airport. Outside those times a taxi is the realistic option — see the fare estimate on this page.
Q. What's the easiest way to Lotte World?
Bus 6705 runs direct to the Lotte World area — with luggage or kids, that single ride is hard to beat. Routes 6200 and 6300 cover other parts of Songpa.
Q. Is the train worth it for Jamsil?
It works — all-stop AREX to Hongik University Station, then Line 2 straight to Jamsil, one transfer — but the Line 2 leg is long, so the total run takes over an hour. It wins mainly at road-rush hours; otherwise the direct bus is simpler.
