We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "answer": "From Incheon Airport (ICN), the fastest and most-used option to reach Seoul is the AREX Airport Railroad express train, which takes about 43 minutes to Seoul Station. All-stop commuter trains on the same line are cheaper but slower. Airport limousine buses serve many city districts (fares around ₩17,000–18,000) and are a comfortable alternative. Taxis and ride-share are available but cost more and can be affected by traffic. Car rentals are possible but not commonly used for city-center access given the excellent public transit.",
