The winner of the 2015 award for the “World’s Best Airport for Transit Passengers” as voted by air travellers in the World Airport Survey, was named as Incheon International Airport, Seoul, South Korea.
For anyone who has had to spend more than a couple of hours in transit, waiting to change planes, this can be a very tiresome and tiring part of a journey. However, a visit to Incheon Airport for transit passengers, appears to be more of a delight than an ordeal.
So, what makes a good airport for transit? Incheon has several rest and relaxation areas with loungers for travellers to lie down and stretch out and modular couches for comfort. Transit at Incheon may offer the ideal opportunity to catch up on much needed sleep. Free showers are also available to use for those who wish to freshen up.
If you have more than a couple of hours spare, pay a visit to the cultural experience zone where you can learn how to make small, traditional Korean gifts which you can take with you afterwards. The Museum gives visitors an insight into Korean culture and history and there is also the chance to watch performances of dance and music.
Other attractions to entertain the transit traveller include a skating rink, several gardens, a casino, golf course and the possibility of a transit tour to places of interest outside the airport.
