Some art installations and a cute suitcase style trash can (laughs).
airport shuttle bus
Yangyang International Airport provides free shuttle bus to Xiangyang Passenger Terminal (1st floor) and Gangneung KTX High Speed Rail Station (2nd floor).
After going out from Exit 3 on the 1st floor of the airport terminal, you can see the stop sign of the shuttle bus at Xiangyang Bus Terminal.
The stop sign says that the departure time to Xiangyang Passenger Terminal is 30 minutes after the plane arrives. But that wasn't the case when the rich family arrived. Flight 4V201 of Jiangwon Airlines arrived at Xiangyang International Airport at about 4:30 p.m. on that day. The rich man’s family received their luggage at about 5:00 p.m. and rushed to the shuttle station. There were about 10 people in line when they arrived at the stop sign, but they waited in line. The shuttle bus didn’t come for 30 minutes, so the lucky rich wife quickly confirmed with the staff at the tourist service desk. The counter staff said that the shuttle bus would not come until 5:50 today, but because it had to catch up at 6:50 from Xiangyang Bus Station For Dong Seoulexpress busThe wealthy family decided to take a taxi at 5:45. There were not many cars in Xiangyang City. The taxi driver drove smoothly and finally arrived at the passenger terminal at 5:53.
Friends who want to take a scheduled taxi, the boarding place is opposite the sign of the shuttle station, but there are only about 5 or 6 taxis scheduled for the day, and the cars are not too many. Tourists can grab them and they will be gone. Pay attention!
In addition, the approximate fare for taking a taxi from the airport to nearby places is also attached, but it is a bit outdated. For example, the starting price of a taxi in Xiangyang has increased from 3000 ₩ to 3800 ₩, but you can still refer to it for a bottom line.
The wealthy family took a scheduled taxi, and it cost 8,100 ₩ from Yangyang International Airport to Yangyang Bus Terminal, 2,100 ₩ more than the 6,000 ₩ written on the estimate form (laughs).

There is a coffee shop and CU convenience store in the departure hall, and you can use the remaining money to buy a hearty breakfast (laughs).
You can also go to the CU convenience store for the last purchase with the remaining money.
There is a tax refund area at the entrance of the departure hall, and you need to prepare a tax refund receipt (there is Tax Free printed on it, not a local Korean receipt, so don’t confuse it) to the staff, but this time it isParent-child No Shopping Trip, so there is no tax refund (laughs).
Arrived at the airport at about 7:50 in the morning, and there were few people.
Gangwon Airlines check-in does not need to wait (hey), it will be completed in 5 minutes.
Ready to enter the customs, the mascot of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics is bye.
After checking your luggage, you will arrive at the boarding waiting area. There is a small duty-free shop that sells skin care products, cigarettes, spirits, and cultural and creative souvenirs.
Some cultural and creative items such as magnets, postcards, and coasters are designed in a cute and Korean style, representing the delicious seafood in Sokcho, Yangyang. You can use Hanhuan or U.S. dollars, and the exchange rate is not bad. It is better than hotels in downtown Seoul. 1 USD for hotels in downtown Seoul is less than 1200 KWR (miserable).
The waiting area is also small, with only three boarding gates, and there are very few people waiting.
Flight schedule, only three flights that day.
