Incheon International Airport





While I was waiting, I took a few more pix of Incheon International Airport. Plus a shot of the free internet cafe they have, too. They also have lots of big brand name shops here. Just like Heathrow, it's like walking into a big department store, or high end shopping mall. I didn't get any pix of the shops, though. I was too busy looking at what they have to think of pix at the time. The prices of things are more expensive than even Canadian stores. And, this is duty free! I'll shop somewhere else.

And, I thought this airport was pretty big and when I first saw it. And, it is very big. But, wait till you see Beijing International Airport.

I Finally Made It!

What a day! Lots of ups and downs, literally. When I got to the check-in counter at Incheon, I was given a free upgrade to business/first class. That was nice. The seats are so much bigger and there is so much more room. Plus, the food was great. But, the plane was delayed by about an hour. That made me miss my connecting flight in Beijing. I did get on the next one, though. It, too, was late in leaving. By the time I got to Hong Kong, it was about four hours later than my original estimated arrival time! Still not bad as the hotel gave me a free upgrade to a deluxe room. WooHoo! And, my luggage did not get lost in the mess either. Bonus!

Lunch



This was lunch; bulgogi. Basically a beef stew/soup thingy. Very yummy. But, twice as expensive as what would normally be found elsewhere. A captive audience at the airport!

Almost time to board.
