The express line train runs nonstop between the 2nd floor basement of Seoul Station and Incheon International Airport (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2). The regular All Stop Train takes 53 minutes and stops at ten major subway stations along the way.

The seats on the express line train are much more comfortable than the seats on the All Stop Train, especially arriving tired after a long international flight.

There is overhead storage for smaller, carry on sized luggage. There is also room for larger sized luggage at the ends of each train car.
