Airport Luggage Storage in

Incheon Airport Has Almost No Coin Lockers

This surprises travellers arriving from Japan, where every terminal has walls of lockers. Incheon works differently: instead of self-service lockers it runs staffed storage and luggage delivery counters, operated by Hanjin and listed on the airport's own site — Terminal 1 on the 3rd floor, opposite check-in counter B, and Terminal 2 on the 3rd floor, opposite counter H.

Those same counters will send your bags to a Seoul hotel or to a subway station, and back to the airport on your departure day. For a full-size suitcase that is usually the practical answer at Incheon, not a locker.

The Incheon terminal stations are on the AREX airport line, which sits outside the Seoul Metropolitan Subway open data we use — so they appear above as “no data” rather than as a count. We would rather show nothing than show a wrong number.

Gimpo Airport Station Lockers

Gimpo is on Seoul Metro Lines 5 and 9, so its lockers are in our live feed. They sit on basement level 2, beside the moving walkway toward the domestic terminal. There is also a staffed T-Luggage point on B1 near the Line 5 gates on the international side, which takes bags too large for a locker.

Gimpo handles domestic flights plus short-haul international routes to Tokyo Haneda, Osaka, Taipei and Shanghai — so a locker here is often all you need for a few hours between flights.

Store Before You Head to the Airport

The AREX line runs from Seoul Station to both Incheon terminals — about 43 minutes to Terminal 1 on the express, 51 to Terminal 2. Every station below is on that route or close to it, and all of them have lockers in our live feed.

Large lockers are the bottleneck. Across these stations the small sizes are usually free, while large units — the ones that fit a checked suitcase — are often all taken. If you are travelling with a big case, check the live count before you commit to a station.

Alternatives

Staffed counters take items of any size and are listed above. Beyond that, two options work well on the way to a flight.
