Flights & Airport
There are two airports in Seoul, Incheon International Airport & Gimpo Airport. Gimpo does accept international flights but it is mainly for domestic use. Incheon is the better option. It is about 50 mins from Incheon to Suwon. We will be providing designated AGG buses to pick up clubs from the airport at regular intervals on Thursday evening and all day Friday. More details of this to follow nearer to the weekend. Incheon is regarded as one of the best airports in the world however as you know Seoul is off the beaten track and so it is advisable to plan ahead and book early to get good deals on flights. Please contact us when you have your club’s flight booked so we can liaise with you concerning the bus pick-up.
