AREX Incheon Int'l Airport Terminal 1
Bring Korean won in cash. A regular T-money card is bought and topped up with cash. Foreign credit cards generally don't work for this. Cash or card: the details.
Where to buy one
- Convenience stores in the terminal sell T-money cards. There are stores on the 1st floor (arrivals) and on B1 (the Transportation Center, where the AREX station is).
- The AREX station on B1 has a T-money vending machine and ticket machines.
A card costs about 3,000–5,000 won depending on the design, and it starts empty. Top it up straight away.
Where to top it up
- Top up with cash at the convenience store counter, or at the machines in the AREX station on B1.
- There are currency exchange counters and ATMs on the 1st floor if you need won.
