Where to Stay in Incheon: Incheon Airport Transit Hotel

In my last business trip, a leg of our flight had a stopover at Incheon International Airport. We had an 8-hour layover so we just checked in at the transit hotel inside the airport. The hotel had an east wing and a west wing. We were booked at the west wing which is located almost in front of gate 43, take the elevator going up and that will lead you to the hotel. No need for visa as you don't have to go through immigration to get to the hotel. The information center inside the airport was very helpful in assisting us getting to the hotel and then advising us on what to do for the transfer of our next flight. 

The room is very basic but very clean as well. 

When you enter the room, you will be led directly to your bed. To the left is the door to the bathroom.

Toilet inside the bathroom

There's a big mirror and desk beside the bed

Shower stall inside the bathroom

Sorry no complimentary toiletries here. 

I was booked in a standard double room. The hotel charges are based on the length of your stay. The room rate does not include breakfast.

Pakistan 2013: Islamabad Airport

11 Arpil 2013

On this day, we didn't really have any meetings set because we were schedule to fly out of Islamabad and go to our project site. Unfortunately, Pakistan's national carrier PIA is known for it's delayed flights. Our flight was supposed to be at lunch time that day but was delayed later that evening. While at the airport, our flight was delayed again. Oh well, Cebu Pacific and PAL prepared me for these conditions :) Our group actually went shopping again that afternoon before heading to the airport. I was able to buy a Pakistan cricket jersey for Joema (he uses it when he's jogging) while my colleagues bought other pasalubong items.

Let me share with you what I saw in their airport.




This was one of the bathroom stalls. Not every stall has this, most have toilet bowls. The last time I saw this was in HK.

 

They had a crib inside the bathroom for mommies to use when changing baby's diaper.

We arrived very late at our destination. After our flight, we had to travel for 2 hours by land. We all fell asleep during the ride.
