[2025 Cheongju Airports] Travel Guide for Cheongju International Airport (Updated Apr)

If you think that only Incheon and Gimpo are worth planning, then you really underestimate Cheongju Airport! This time I chose to enter Korea from Cheongju Airport. As soon as I got off the plane, I felt relieved. There were no crowds, customs clearance was fast, and the overall flow was super smooth. It is especially suitable for travelers who don't like crowds. Although the airport is not big, it has everything you need and is very convenient After leaving the airport, it only takes 20 minutes by bus to reach the center of Cheongju. Compared to the pace of Seoul, this place is more like a warm small town, suitable for you who want to get away from the crowds and travel in depth. If you also want to try a different Korean route, I highly recommend starting from Cheongju Airport. It’s an unpopular route but full of surprises! #Korea's niche airport #Cheongju Airport #Korea Free Travel #Local Travel #Airport Adventure ##Airport Food #Korea Travel Notes #Korea Central Travel #Korea Unpopular Recommendations #Chungcheongbuk-do Attractions #Travel without Looking Back #Korea Girls Travel #MarchGoodPlaces2025

In the summer of 2023, AERO-K will operate between Narita Airport and Cheongju International Airport. Here is the travel from Cheongju International Airport to Seoul that I used this time. After arriving at Cheongju International Airport, I quickly exchanged about 5,000 yen at a bank booth in the airport. When I went outside, there was a bus stop and a red bus with the sign 747 was parked there. Perhaps because Cheongju International Airport is also a military airport, there was not much information about it, so I found the red 747 bus that I had gathered information about before leaving and got on. My destination was Osung Station to board the KTX to Seoul. I asked the driver, "Are you going to Osung?" and I didn't quite hear him, but he nodded, so I got on. The Tmoney card I had before had insufficient funds, so I paid with cash. The exchange rate was high, but it was necessary to exchange money. It took about 40 minutes to arrive at Osung Station. Before that, there are bus stops with names such as Osung something, Osung this, and Osung that, but Osung Station is a large station, so don't get off until you enter the bus terminal in front of the large concrete-colored building! Then, take the escalator to the second floor. There is a food court and ticket counter on the second floor, and the platform is on the third floor. If you are heading to Seoul, I recommend either Seoul Station or Yongsan Station. And be careful! KTX is always crowded. I recommend that you make a reservation with a certain amount of time in mind. You can make a reservation here on Trip. I underestimated the crowds, so after arriving at Osung Station around 5pm, I was told that there were no seats available for Seoul Station until 8pm, so I spent the time inside Osung Station, where there are no tourist attractions nearby. But in the end, while waiting, I changed to a ticket for Yongsan Station, looking at the real-time seat availability information. The counter staff only look at Seoul Station when you say Seoul Station. They don't give you any clever advice like, "Wouldn't Yongsan Station be okay?" so tell them whichever station you can get on at first at Seoul Station or Yongsan Station. I was able to use a credit card issued in Japan. (They said it was hard to read, though...) After arriving at Yongsan Station, I charged my namene card and took a train in Seoul to the hotel. #Cheongju #Cheongju International Airport #ktx #오송 #Cheongju Intercity Bus Terminal #Yongsan #Korea

It might be more convenient than Incheon Airport. Express buses are almost never congested, and there's no comparison with Japan, where bus lanes can't be set up! #CheongjuAirport

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Cheongju Airport Korea 🇰🇷

#JapanFlightEvent #OverseasTravel Cheongju International Airport is a frequently used airport when traveling to nearby Asia. It is not very large, so there is no difficulty in going through the procedures or finding luggage. However, it is equipped with convenience facilities such as convenience stores and restaurants, so it is definitely a place with no shortcomings.

Cheongju is a thousand-year-old capital city, and is known as the "Cultural Capital of East Asia". It is an important inland transportation hub in South Korea. Many important railways and highways converge here. It is the best transfer point to other parts of South Korea. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Cheongju International Airport was originally a military airport, but was converted into a joint military and civil airport in 1984. The original name was "Yangyang Airport", and it was renamed "Cheongju International Airport" in April 1997. It is the most comprehensive central airport in central South Korea. The airport is not big and has regional functions. It takes less than half an hour from getting off the plane to going through customs. There are convenience stores, snack restaurants, cafes, etc. in the airport. 1F emart (~21:00) 2F CU (~22:00) 2F restaurant (~20:30) ⋯⋯⋯⋯ You can directly transfer to the intercity bus from here, to Seoul, Daejeon, Cheonan, Incheon, Chungju. You can also take a bus directly to the city or transfer to KTX: Bus 747 (Osong Station) Bus 757 (Osong Station, Sejong City) Bus 407 (Sangdang Park, City) Tips: The passenger service center in the airport has very complete information, fluent English, and there are people who speak Chinese from time to time.

There is a place to eat at Cheongju Airport called Playbo~ It is located on the 2nd floor, and you can order at the kiosk and get your number when it comes up. There are many menus, so it was easy to choose! There were also a lot of seats, so I was able to eat right away! It is good because it is close to the departure hall~ #New York flight ticket event #Cheongju airport #Cheongju

Cheongju Airport is a small but full-fledged airport! It's great that international flights are increasing, and Jeju Island is only 50 minutes away, so it's convenient. It's located in the central region, so it's good for Daejeon, Chungbuk, Chungnam, southern Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongbuk, and Jeonbuk. The parking fee is also up to 10,000 won per day, so it seems cheap?

I found a cheap ticket from Kansai Airport to Cheongju, so I decided to go to Seoul via Cheongju Airport for the first time. Cheongju International Airport was surprisingly compact, and it took only about 10 minutes to get outside after getting off the plane (without checked baggage). From here, I took an express bus to Seoul. Since it was the weekend, I was glad I bought the ticket in advance! It was fully booked on the day. There was a bit of traffic, so it took about an hour and a half to get to the Seoul Express Bus Terminal, but the comfortable seats allowed me to sleep during the trip, making it very easy and comfortable. This time, I also considered taking the train, but since it takes 10 minutes to walk from the airport to the station, I chose the bus. I had some waiting time at the airport, so I went to see the station. It had the atmosphere of an unmanned station that you see in dramas, and I took a picture as a train arrived. If I have the chance, I would like to stay in Cheongju next time.

#AirportTrip First time at Narita Airport Terminal 3 First time at AeroK and Cheongju Airport. ・ AeroK is not friendly to Japanese people, and you can't use foreign cards to pay for tickets, and even if you try to add the weight of your suitcase, you end up having to do it over the phone, and it was a big hurdle. ・ On the plane, a Japanese-Korean couple seemed to be visiting their hometown with their 2-year-old son for the first time in a while, and it was nice to see the boy enjoying the plane itself. ・ And we were able to get out of Cheongju Airport in no time, and there was no hassle getting in like at Incheon or Gimpo. Cheongju Airport is also used by the Air Force, so there was a sign saying no photography was allowed. ・ Cheongju International Airport Korean: 청주국제공항, English: Cheongju Airport A shared airport in Naesu-eup, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. It is located in Cheongju, the capital of North Chungcheong Province, and is about 45 km from Daejeon Metropolitan City. Low-cost airline Aero K uses the airport as its hub.

It seems really good to go to Japan from Cheongju International Airport. However, it seems that its role as an international airport is a bit lacking. For example, Cheongju International Airport does not seem to have a quarantine center for plants and animals. There are various items such as animals and sashimi that can be taken to Japan if you receive a quarantine certificate from the plant quarantine center. I got on a plane from Cheongju and arrived in Japan, but because there was no document that could be confirmed by the quarantine center, it was eventually confiscated and destroyed in Japan. I wish Cheongju International Airport had a quarantine center for plants and animals. Then, wouldn't there be more people who can carry a lot of plants and animals using Cheongju Airport than Incheon International Airport?

Yes, Korea, here I come again! How is trip.com able to always offer such cheap air tickets? There is really no way I can not buy it! And so I am on vacation again! Intimate service, preferential prices, a trip that you can't refuse!

#solotravel #koreatrip #cheongjuinternationalairport #aeroK I went to Incheon Airport on this trip, but I ended up returning from Cheongju. What's more, it was my first time to board an LCC called AeroK✈️. It's a small international airport, so the advantage is that I didn't have to worry about congestion😊 2/3 of the flights were domestic (mainly to Jeju Island✈️) 1/3 were international. To get from Cheongju city to Cheongju International Airport, you can take bus number 747 from Osong Station ➖ Express Bus Terminal ➖ Cheongju Airport in about an hour. Buses depart approximately every 30 minutes.

It's an international airport, but... There are only two vending machines for express buses to Seoul. You can switch between Japanese and English, but payment is only by Korean credit card. I told them that they couldn't buy it at the information desk, so they bought it with my personal credit card and I gave them cash. If you can't speak Korean or English, it's a difficult airport to get into. 😢 I took a bus to Osung Station and was considering taking the KTX, but I had luggage and wanted to take the express bus no matter what. I arrived at Seoul's Nambu Terminal in just under two hours. Considering how crowded Incheon is, I think it's also possible to arrive in Cheongju.

Since I couldn't book a plane ticket for this trip to Korea, I took a bus to Cheongju and then to Seoul. Cheongju Airport has a small advantage, as entry and exit are very fast! The only drawback is that there are few shops. It was a good travel experience

To go to the concert for a quick visit Flights to Seoul Airport are not cheap My friend and I chose to fly from Taoyuan to Cheongju Airport and then to Seoul. I took the Eastar Air flight at 2am but it was delayed until 3am. It was already 6:40 when we arrived in Cheongju. The cold air in the early morning woke us up instantly. From the airport, take bus 747 or B3 to the nearest KTX Osong Station (Don’t choose to take the express bus to the city because they are all full, especially on holidays) Take the KTX from Osong Station to Seoul Station for 15,700 yuan and a seat ticket for 18,500 yuan When we arrived at Seoul Station, we bought return tickets first. It was convenient and fast. On the way back, follow the crowd outside Wusong Station and you will see the bus station. Take 747 or B3 to the airport The express buses are also full and we have not considered If you are going to Seoul, you can refer to #Korea #Cheongju #WeekendTrip #Seoul #CheongjuInternationalAirport Cheongju International Airport: 충청북도 청주시 청원구 내수읍 오창대로 980

#FlightReport When I wanted to go from Narita to Seoul, the airfare was expensive, so I decided to take Aero K, which had just started flying from Narita to Cheongju. You can't book tickets for Aero K on their official website. You can if you have a Korean credit card. [Overseas credit cards are not accepted] A message will appear telling you to purchase on [Trip.com]. The seats on the plane are probably no different from other LCCs. The flight attendants' uniforms were cute. Around Cheongju, they made a strong announcement that "Don't take photos outside! If you do, you will be fined," which was a bit impressive. There is no Aero K flight timetable from Narita to Cheongju that matches the timetable of the express bus going from Cheongju Airport to Seoul. I took the route from Cheongju Bus Terminal to Seoul Bus Terminal.

When it comes to airports to enter Korea, most people probably think of Incheon International Airport or Gimpo Airport. This time, I entered the country for the first time from Cheongju Airport! I went to Korea in early August during the peak travel season, so airfares were quite expensive when I found this airport! Where is Cheongju? I think most people are probably wondering. Cheongju is located much lower than Seoul, and is about 130km away from Seoul. It seems to be an airport that is also used for military purposes, and there are no-photography signs and the airport and surrounding area are quiet, so it was a valuable experience. There were only two immigration counters, so it was smooth. To get to Seoul, I first took a bus to Osung Station and then took the KTX to Seoul Station! It was a long journey of about 2 hours lol There was a train station nearby, but it was hard to find... I thought it might be difficult to do sightseeing, but if you like traveling, it might be fun to try entering the country from here 😂 #Korea #KoreaTrip #Airport
