From Incheon International Airport
There is an airport bus service running directly between Incheon International Airport and Daejeon.
The bus leaves the airport roughly every 30 minutes, and arrives in Daejeon
near the Government Building Complex. (The alternative would be to take a bus
to Seoul Station and a train to Daejeon from there. This takes equally long,
is more expensive, and involves two changes of transportation.)
You can buy tickets for the bus at the Airport Limousine Bus counters in the
arrival hall. There is only one bus line to Daejeon, so you cannot get the
wrong ticket. The bus leaves from bus
stop #9D, this is in the second row outside the arrival hall (that is,
cross the first street after leaving the arrival hall). Tickets are 14,200 Won/person, one-way for the
standard bus, and 21,300
Won/person for the deluxe bus, which has bigger seats. (We recommend simply
taking the earliest bus for which you can get a seat. Sometimes the first
available bus is already sold out.)
The ride takes close to three hours in total. The bus usually stops for 15
minutes at a highway rest stop (in Cheonan), after that it takes about 45
minutes until it exits the highway in Daejeon. The bus stops three times in
Daejeon, first at the former Lotte hotel (now called "Daedeok
Hotel"), then at the Government Complex, finally at the Daejeon Eastern
Express Bus Terminal. They may ask you which stop you want to get off when
you board the bus, as they store the luggage separately, depending on
destination. The second stop, "Government Building Complex" (Á¤ºÎû»ç), is the most convenient stop to take
a taxi or bus for the KAIST campus.
