Why most travelers skip GMP

GMP (Gimpo) is closer to central Seoul (around 30 min via subway Line 9 or AREX) but serves only regional international routes — it’s not connected to MNL. ICN, while farther (1 hour AREX Express to Seoul Station), is the actual international gateway and offers cheaper, more frequent options. Useful lang ang GMP kapag may onward Korean domestic flight to Jeju, Busan, or onward Tokyo Haneda regional shuttle.
