Civilians

CIVILIANS If you're military, keep scrolling :) More than likely, you will be flying into Incheon International Airport. - If you plan to come to Gunsan on the same day, I recommend taking the bus. If you go to the ticketing booth, purchase a ticket to Gunsan, and board the bus, it will take you directly to Gunsan Bus Terminal. It's around a 3 hour bus ride and will cost around $25. From there, you can take a cab to your hotel/AirBnB. Terminal 1 Bus Stop Times: 8:45AM, 9:45AM, 10:25AM, 11:50AM, 2:45PM, 4:35PM, 5:55PM, 6:45PM, and 7:45PM. Terminal 2 Bus Stop Times: 8:20AM, 9:20AM, 10:00AM, 11:20AM, 2:20PM, 4:10PM, 5:30PM, 6:15PM, and 7:20PM - If you plan to go to Seoul first and check out the sites before coming down to Gunsan, I still recommend taking the bus. Just go to Seoul Central City Bus Terminal and get a ticket for Gunsan. The bus comes every 20-40 minutes starting at 5:40AM - 10:00PM and will be around $20.

Military

MILITARY It's a liiiittle more complicated for us because... we're military... There are a few ways to get here from wherever, but before you book your tickets or call the PAX Terminal, you need to complete the following (if you're not already stationed in South Korea): 1. IATP 2. APACS THESE NEED TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR INTENDED TRAVEL INTO KOREA! This all looks more intimidating than it actually is. If you really like reading, you can check out the PACOM travel requirements before starting: https://www.pacom.mil/Resources/Travel-Requirements/ OR Go straight to the IATP link: https://iatp.pacom.mil/ Fill out the necessary blocks and submit it for your Travel Entry #_____. Hope all your CBT's are up to date... You will need this for your APACS request. Link to APACS: https://apacs.milcloud.mil/apacs/ You will need to complete the Theater Specific Required Training found on JKO. The full guide can be found here: https://www.usfk.mil/Resources/Newcomer-Training/ Once you submit your APACS request, you should receive an e-mail saying it was approved. If you don't see anything after a week of waiting, check the APACS site directly. Sometimes, it will get approved and not notify you. Again, it looks like a lot, but once you do it, it's not so bad. But please hit me up if you need help with any of this. Once you're done with all that, just figure out how you're getting here! Check your local AMC Passenger Terminal to see when the rotator flies or fly commercial. The link to Yokota's AMC is: https://www.amc.af.mil/AMC-Travel-Site/Terminals/PACOM-Terminals/Yokota-AB-Passenger-Terminal/ If you take the rotator here, you can take the Wolf Pack Wheels for $40. It goes from the Cafe in front of Turumi Lodge and goes straight to Kunsan AB. Or you can walk/take a cab to the Songtan Bus Terminal and take a bus to Gunsan Bus Terminal. Again, ask if you need help. I'm a pro at this now...
