Incheon International Airport is the largest airport in South Korea, the primary airport serving the Seoul national capital area, and one of the largest and busiest airports in the world.
The building is very modern in design. There is maximum utilization of natural sunlight to lit up the whole area. Space is something you will feel when you first walk into the airport. It is not like Malaysian Airport where any empty space is utilized to generate more revenue.
There is a lot usage on materials like stainless steel and clear glass. The stainless steel beams and frames itself is part of the design to me because when the shadows adds into the interior decoration of the airport.
Well, you can also find a garden inside the airport terminal itself. If you are overwhelmed by the steel structure, this piece of small greenery can chill you out. The Star Garden boasts a full lineup of flora comprising more than 150 species and 9,000 individual plants covering an area of 1,980 square meters.
There are much more attraction in the airport, I am just posting some pictures of what my eyes see. For more information you can check out http://airport.kr/eng/. The information provided about the airport is quite extensive.
During my visit, I came across this design Cube. You get to appreciate some artistic drawing below some tall pine trees and a calm peaceful squarish pond. It was a truly unique to find this in an airport.
I like this wall design of the restaurant a lot. What a creative way to name it, "Food" on the Air. You can enjoy Korean, Chinese, Casual Japanese food. Of course there are many more choices of food you can choose from in the airport.
If you are hungry you can eat, if you are thirsty you can just take a sip whether you are an adult or a child. They really put thoughts to cater for the needs of all visitors in the airport.
When you had ate and drank, you can always learn from this guy here to just lay flat and take a rest. Maybe he was just too tired waiting for someone from a delayed flight.
Well, I just found a high spot in the airport and started to observe what people actually do in an airport. Girl:"I think we should stay in Korea for another few days, I haven't finish buying my cosmetics, BB Cream......" Guy:''There goes my pocket money, so high maintenance"
There is one big crowd hustling over the "Rent a phone" counter. Maybe it is cheap to rent one, but I did not manage to go check it out.
This is how it looks like in one of the busiest airport in the world. 33 million passengers and 5.2 million transfer passengers traveling through the airport in 2010.
It is very interesting to see the ash stray at the smoking area. The smokers had decorated it with their cigarette buds.
Of course, you would surely like to look at aircraft in the airport. Go to the Passenger Terminal 4F Center. There is Airstar Terrace which combines scenery, culture and relaxation, offering you a bird;s eye view of aircraft takeoff and landings.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen, for scrolling through the blog. I wish you had a pleasant overview of the Incheon International Airport. I will let the Korean Air crew say bye bye to you to end the post.
