I've read a fair bit of the advice and think I have a plan. But I haven't been to Seoul before so I wanted to run my thoughts by a few of the experts here that know Seoul well in case I'm missing something.

We are three Americans headed there in mid April - arriving in Seoul on a Thursday. We are going to join the USO DMZ tour and it looks like the Millennium Hilton is close to where that tour starts. If there is a better hotel option or the Millennium is a bad choice for some reason please comment.

We will arrive from Beijing. There is an Air China flight that lands at GMP at 9:50 pm or an Asiana flight that lands at ICN at 8:10. From what I've read, GMP is closer and easier but arriving on Asiana at 8:10 would seem to be a better choice. It also appears that the two best options to get to the hotel are a taxi or the KAL bus - and with three people the taxi won't cost much more than the bus.

I think that this is logistically sound but would appreciate any thoughts or comments (on any aspect of this).

We depart from ICN at 11:30 am on a Saturday so I'm thinking we should stay Friday night at a hotel closer to the airport. The Grand Hyatt Incheon seems like a good choice - but I have far more points and higher status with Hilton and IHG than Hyatt. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any Hiltons close to ICN and the one close IHG property seems decent but still 30 to 45 minutes from the airport. So, just curious what folks who have done this a few times think.

And if there is a "can't miss" restaurant near the Millennium Hilton please let me know. We love Korean food served in the USA so can't wait to try the real thing.

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
