Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Closeout

Domestic counters close 20 minutes out

With bags, or if you still need to pay, finish the counter 20 minutes before departure. Peach is 30 minutes. Be through security 20 minutes before departure. International check-in closes 50 minutes before.

International

Use the dated Seoul rows

Asiana's operating block is 24 August 2026 to 16 December 2026: Wednesday and Friday 12:30, Sunday 19:10. Older undated rows are still on the page. Eastar ZE662 is marked suspended. Tigerair Taipei is listed Monday and Friday without a suspension note.

Lounges

Hinata is landside and priced

Bougain Lounge Hinata is on the west side of the 1F lobby, ¥1,100 for two hours, or the basic fee waived with a physical Japanese gold-or-higher card and same-day boarding proof. Lounge Oyodo is airside; the airport page does not print its entry rules.

Parking

Thirty minutes free, then a shop extends it

The first 30 minutes are free for every vehicle class. A purchase in a terminal shop or restaurant makes 120 minutes free. Entry is closed 23:00–05:00. The 24-hour standard-car cap is ¥900, or ¥1,200 on designated peak days.
