Edinburgh International Airport is Scotland's busiest airport, yet it maintains a friendly, personal atmosphere for a smooth start to your journey. Checking-in and navigating the terminal is quick and easy, with departure desks located right in front of the main entrances. When preparing for your flight, ensure your baggage is packed correctly due to tight security procedures. You should check in at least three hours before departure time.

Getting to the airport is straightforward. For transport, the Airlink (Service 100) bus runs 24/7 to the city centre every 10 minutes, offering on-board Wi-Fi. The Edinburgh Tram system also connects the city centre, and taxis are readily available outside the main entrance. If you are driving, parking is located right outside the terminal with both covered multi-storey and surface options. You can save up to 65 per cent by pre-booking your parking space.

Once through security, you will find a great selection of shops and retail outlets, perfect for duty-free purchases or picking up Scottish goods as souvenirs. Essential amenities like baby-care areas and banking facilities are also available. A range of eateries, restaurants and cafés are ready to serve you everything from sushi and seafood to quick snacks and coffee before you board.

Begin your Korean exploration in Incheon, a historically significant and economically vital powerhouse of South Korea. You will immediately sense the city's seamless blend of modern progress and deep cultural identity, beautifully preserved in its traditional architecture and stunning parks. This welcoming location is one of South Korea’s best-kept secrets, offering a wealth of attractions and excellent facilities for your visit. You can explore Incheon's Chinatown, the only official one in South Korea, which sits right next to the tranquil Liberty Park. This expansive green space is a stunning open area that offers a welcome escape from the city’s vibrant energy. For a fantastic panoramic spectacle of ultra-modern architecture, you should make your way to the North Asia Trade Tower, a prominent landmark in the rapidly expanding Songdo International City.

If you desire a more traditional flavour, you can take a local ferry to the beautiful Incheon Islands. Here, life moves at a far more sedate pace, and you will discover relatively quiet beaches and peaceful hiking trails, which are perfect for a refreshing outdoor leisure experience. Amongst the best islands to visit are Daecheongdo, Ganghwado, and Muuido. Back in the city, the Arts Centre in Guwol-dong is a must-see, offering frequent performances of traditional Korean plays, dancing and theatre. This cultural venue is also conveniently located within a thriving retail district, allowing you to combine cultural browsing with shopping for unique souvenirs.
