How our pickup works

  1. Send us your ticket. We do not book flights, but once yours is booked we plan around it.
  2. We meet you at the gate. Your host is waiting when you come through arrivals, at Incheon or Gimpo.
  3. Luggage and car. We take the bags and walk you to a car matched to your group. Choose the car yourself, or leave it to us.
  4. Settle and go. Payment happens at pickup (card, Korean won transfer, or cash in won, dollars or yen), and then the day begins.
  5. Straight to the hotel, or straight out. Rest first, or go straight to dinner. Either way, the car stays with you.

Which car

  • One to three guests: a Genesis G80 or G90 sedan.
  • A small group, or plenty of luggage: a Kia Carnival, Carnival High Limousine or Hyundai Staria.
  • A larger group: a Hyundai Solati or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Tell us how many of you there are and how much luggage you have, and we suggest a car. You can always choose a different one.

A few practical tips

  • Tell us your terminal. Incheon has two, and it is printed on your ticket.
  • Keep your passport at hand if a casino is on the plan.
  • Landing late at night is fine. Tell us when you book, and the car and host will be there.

Questions guests ask

What if my flight is delayed?
We plan around your flight, so your host is at the gate when you actually land.
Do you pick up from Gimpo too?
Yes. Gimpo is closer to the city, so the drive is usually shorter.
Can we start the day straight from the airport?
Yes. You can go straight to dinner or shopping and check in later.

Tell us the day you have in mind.

Date, how many of you, and what you would like. A manager replies within minutes with a plan and a total.
