Flying from Tokyo to Seoul: What You Need to Know
The nonstop flight from Tokyo to Seoul takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes – with no time difference, since both cities run on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).
Departure: You’ll mostly fly out of Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND), the closest and busiest airport just 9 miles south of the city center. However, a few budget airlines use Narita Airport (NRT), which is much farther out (40 miles east of Tokyo). Double-check your ticket! Narita isn’t actually in Tokyo, and reaching it takes over 90 minutes by train.
Arrival: Nearly all international flights land at Seoul Incheon Airport (ICN), a massive modern hub 30 miles west of Seoul. Only a handful of short-haul budget carriers (like Jeju Air) fly into Gimpo Airport (GMP), which is much closer to downtown Seoul (just 10 miles away). Know which airport you’re flying into! Landing at Incheon adds 60+ minutes to your trip to the city.
Airlines: Full-service carriers like ANA, Korean Air, and Asiana include a checked bag (23kg), carry-on, and meals/drinks.
Budget picks (Peach and T'way Air) offer bare-bones fares (starting around $80 USD one-way), but you’ll pay extra for everything – seat selection, checked bags, carry-ons larger than a purse, and even water. Pack light!
Tip: Haneda is efficient but busy – arrive 2 hours early for international flights. Narita requires 2.5+ hours early arrival due to longer immigration lines. For your return flight from Incheon, arrive 2.5 hours early – security and passport control can take over 60 minutes.
