Travelers of other nationalities should check both South Korea's entry rules (many require K-ETA or a visa) and Indonesia's visa policy based on their citizenship."

The AREX All-Stop train is a cheaper option, taking roughly sixty minutes with more stops.

Taxis are available but are expensive, with a typical journey to central Seoul taking sixty to ninety minutes and costing a premium for late-night trips. Ride-share services exist but are less common than in other countries. Car rentals are available but not recommended for city use due to heavy traffic and limited parking. Most visitors use the AREX Express for its speed and reliability, while the limousine buses are popular for those with heavy luggage heading to specific hotels."
