I would really love to get into Seoul, even for a short time. I understand there's an express (45 minute) train that goes to Seoul central station.

A few questions:

- Is the immigration process time consuming (both exiting and re-entering)?
Entry may be rather long because there are a lot of flights that arrive in the early morning. Exit should be relatively empty unless it's a weekend.


- I'm flying business on all segments, will that help the immigration at all?
Fast track doesn't exist at ICN unless you're arriving after Terminal 2 opens next year (Jan 18)


- Once I get to that station, where should I go/what should I do? I would like to sample some treats and maybe see a little of the city.
You could see the palaces in the morning and maybe Bukchon where there are a lot of traditional houses
