At the airport, taxi stands are located in front of the passenger terminal (Platform 6C for standard taxi, platform 8C for deluxe taxi). The approximate fare for a standard taxi from the airport to the venue is KRW 80,000. The expressway toll (KRW 7,400) is not included. The estimated fare is based on no traffic congestion, so the actual amount may vary.
