Getting to Jeju Parnas Hotel (From Jeju International Airport, CJU)
1) Flights to Jeju (CJU)
Jeju International Airport (CJU) is the main gateway to Jeju Island.
Most international visitors first arrive in Seoul (Incheon), then take a domestic flight to Jeju. The majority of international flights arrive at Incheon International Airport (ICN). A limited number of routes from Japan operate directly to Gimpo Airport (GMP).
There are two main airports in Seoul:
- Incheon International Airport (ICN) – Main international airport
- Gimpo International Airport (GMP) – Main domestic airport (most Jeju flights depart from here)
Important: Transferring Between ICN and GMP
ICN and GMP are located approximately 35–45 km apart, and transfer time typically ranges from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day.
If you arrive at ICN and your Jeju flight departs from GMP, please allow sufficient transfer time (we recommend at least 3–4 hours between flights).

Option A — Airport Railroad (AREX + Metro Connection)
- Take the AREX Airport Railroad from ICN
