Incheon Airport, Seoul, South Korea

 Our body clocks were still on NZ time, so the early morning flight to Incheon Seoul, didn't impact too much, and the hotel was only 180 steps from the airport.  We did have a bit of confusion finding the departure check-ins. They are on the first floor, and off course the Asean Airline check-in was the furthest one away


Our in-flight meals were Korean, and came with instructions.  They were nice.

We could see some serious flooding when we started our descent into Incheon International Airport, Seoul, South Korea.  Torrential rain pounded the plane as we landed. As there are Covid-19 protocols in place, we had to transit at the airport overnight.

Apart from the usual duty free type shops, there were luxury brands and jewellery shops dotted along the concourse. The airport is huge, and we were only in Terminal 2. So there are robots to help.

This was the charging bay for the robots. If you wanted food, you could purchase it electronically from one of the airport shops, and the robot would go and get it, and then deliver it to you at your Gate.
Don't feel like carrying your bags, this robot will take your luggage to the departure gate for you.
I don't know what this robot did, but there were plenty of them about, they spoke Korean.

We stayed the night at the Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 Transit hotel.  It's on the 4th floor, and we took a while to find it. The rooms were small, the shower had good water pressure. We could hear the rain though the air conditioning.  The hotel provided us with these slippers.
The hotel restaurant was closed. There was limited choice for food late in the evening around the airport concourse.  We found a small restaurant block that had Burger King, Taco Bell, and some Korean offerings.


We had the Tang soup, (beef). Came with noodles and bean sprouts too.
