Day One from Seoul Station: Head Spa, Then Myeongdong

· Express train (AREX Express): Incheon Terminal 1 to Seoul Station non-stop in 43 minutes (51 from Terminal 2), 13,000 KRW for adults. It needs a reserved-seat ticket — you can't just tap a transit card — and trains run less often, so check the timetable first.
· All-stop train: 59 minutes from Terminal 1, 4,750 KRW by transit card (5,350 KRW from Terminal 2). It also stops at Hongik University and Gongdeok.
· Arriving by KTX? Same building, same route.

Send big suitcases ahead to your hotel or leave them in a station locker — your treatment will be far more relaxing without them.

Juno Hair Garden Seoul Station — a head spa that starts with your scalp
This branch of Juno Hair sits in the "Market Zone" of Connect Place on the third floor of Seoul Station. By the salon's own account it is Juno Hair's top-selling branch, and staff speak English. The head spa begins with a scalp check and works through set steps, which is exactly what a scalp dried out by cabin air — and a stiff neck and shoulders — need.
· Premium Head Spa (15 steps), 90 min, 210,000 KRW
· Basic Head Spa (13 steps), 60 min, 180,000 KRW
· Treatment, 60 min, 158,000 KRW
· Cut, 50 min, 45,000 KRW
· Open 10:00–19:30
· Five Guys plus Mexican, Italian and Japanese restaurants are on the same floor, so lunch or dinner is sorted before or after.

First time? Go for the 60-minute Basic. Flew more than twelve hours? The 90-minute Premium is worth it. Prices are the salon's published rates, and you can pick a date and time on its page and pay by international card.

From Seoul Station, Line 4 goes Hoehyeon, then Myeongdong. All four places below are LUWEI partners, so you can book on their pages and pay by international card.

Check out, bring your bags to Seoul Station, have a head spa, then head off — your final afternoon doesn't go to waste. Book it so the treatment ends two to three hours before you need to leave.

Some airlines let you check in and drop bags at the City Airport Terminal inside Seoul Station. Check the AREX website in advance to see whether yours does.

· Immigration and baggage claim can run long on arrival day, so book your slot two to three hours after your scheduled landing.
· Prices are each venue's published rates. You book on the venue's page and pay by international card.
· If your plans change, check the cancellation policy on the venue's page first.
