It was easy to redeem the tickets at the machine, and if you are traveling on Asiana, it is better because you may use the City Terminal for check-in.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the AREX Express Train and the All-Stop Train?
The main differences come down to speed, price, and seating. The AREX Express Train is the faster option, taking about 43 minutes from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station with no stops along the way. Seats are assigned, with reclining chairs and luggage racks, so your ride is comfortable from the moment you hop onboard. In contrast, the All-Stop Train has basic subway-style seating.

The All-Stop Train makes multiple stops along the route, including popular stations like Gimpo Airport and Hongdae. It feels similar to a regular commuter train, but it’s also the budget-friendly option - almost twice as cheap as the Express. It also runs more frequently, with trains every 5 to 10 minutes, compared to the Express Train’s 20 to 40 minutes.

Ultimately, pick the transfer option that fits your plans. If you want the fastest route into Seoul Station - and quicker than taking a taxi - the AREX Express Train is a no-brainer. If you’re travelling on a budget or your destination is an intermediate stop, the All-Stop Train will make the most sense.
Where to buy AREX tickets at Seoul Station?
It’s pretty simple. You can buy AREX tickets at the AREX Information Counter on level B2 or from any AREX ticket vending machine at Seoul Station. Both options let you purchase Single Journey or All-Stop Train tickets. If you're buying at the counter, just tell the staff your departure time, your route, and how many tickets you need. The service centre is open from 6am to 10:50pm.

You can buy your tickets in advance too, which saves you the hassle of figuring out when to purchase them on the day. You can also get return tickets if you pre-purchase them online. And here's the thing: the fare isn’t the same price if you buy in person. In fact, AREX train tickets are cheaper online, and travel platforms like Pelago may offer extra savings when you use your Singapore Airlines booking reference number, earn KrisFlyer miles, or qualify for member specials. If you're interested, here's our complete guide to all the Pelago promo codes you can enjoy.
Can I use the T-Money card for the AREX Express train?
No, you can’t use the T-Money card for the AREX Express Train. The Express requires a separate reserved-seat ticket that must be purchased in advance.

But you can use T-Money for the AREX All-Stop Train, since it works just like a regular subway line. Simply tap your T-Money card at the fare gates and board the train - no additional ticket needed.

Read more about the T-Money card in our guide.
Where is the AREX station located in Incheon Airport?
You’ll find the AREX station in the basement levels of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Incheon International Airport. Just follow the AREX signs throughout the airport and you’ll reach it easily.

In Terminal 1, the station is directly accessible from the main airport floors and leads down to the basement level. In Terminal 2, the AREX station has its own entrance, but it’s also located in the basement levels.

How to reserve AREX seats online?

After purchasing your tickets from Pelago, head to the official AREX website and enter the 13-digit voucher code found in your confirmation email. Once you key in the code and select the required field, you can choose your seat from the available options on the AREX train seat map.
