Incheon Airport Transit Questions

Upvote:2

Nope, not possible. Once you're in the departure area, you can only go out one way (under normal circumstances): on a plane. If you want to visit Seoul, you have to go through Immigration like regular passengers.

Note that it might prove impractical if you have a shortish layover (anything under 12 hours), because the round trip gate to Seoul and back to your next gate will be 4 hours+, depending on the time of day. Passport control when arriving takes forever unless you're really lucky, and going downtown takes at least an hour, depending where you're going. On the way out, security checks and Immigration also take a long time (few X Ray machines opened, even during rush hours). And depending on the airline, you might have a way to go to reach your gate. Incheon is huge.
