## Overview

## Welcome

Welcome to Jeju International Airport (CJU), a bustling gateway that serves as Jeju Island’s busiest domestic hub. Known as an aerial bus station, this single-terminal facility accommodates frequent same-day visitors hopping on the Jeju-Gimpo route. Efficient and compact, it offers easy transit between curb and gate, enhanced by a wide variety of local Jeju food and souvenirs within a cozy space.

## At a glance

Jeju International Airport handles over 31.4 million passengers annually with its busy single terminal. Acting as a hub for Jeju Air, the airport manages one of the world’s busiest domestic routes with frequency that attracts both locals and tourists alike. Located only about 3 km west of central Jeju City, the airport provides quick and easy access to the city.

## Terminals & layout

The airport consists of one multi-purpose terminal catering to both domestic and international flights. Major carriers include Asiana Airlines, Eastar Jet, and Jeju Air. Despite the hustle, signage in the terminal is straightforward, though international travelers may occasionally find English instructions lacking outside the main concourse.

## Getting to and from the city

Just 3 km from the city center, Jeju International is easily reachable via multiple transport options. The Airport Limousine Bus and City Bus 150 provide convenient public transportation. Taxis are readily available at the airport taxi rank. If you’re renting a car, be aware that car rental shuttles from agencies like Lotte Rent-a-Car typically operate outside the terminal, requiring a shuttle ride to reach the rental center.

## Traveller essentials

Jeju Airport offers free Wi-Fi, branded as "Jeju_Airport Free Wi-Fi" or "Jeju Free Wifi", praised for its speed and reliability. For those parking, expect to pay around ₩15,000 per day in the on-site car park; the long-stay option, a short 10-15 minute walk away, is more cost-effective for longer trips. Travelers can also make use of baggage storage near Gate 5 for ₩8,000 per 24 hours if they have a late departure but early hotel checkout.

## Dining & shopping highlights

Pre-security, Jeju Airport offers ample dining choices such as Lotteria, Paris Baguette, and Korean Food Court, besting the limited post-security options. Hidden in the domestic terminal, the Guksu Noodle Restaurant provides comforting, affordable meals. Souvenir and duty-free shopping are concentrated in the domestic zone’s “Duty-Free Style” shop, popular for Jeju local products like tangerine chocolates and cosmetics.

## Lounges

For relaxation, the airport hosts several lounges: the Korean Air Lounge and Asiana Airlines Lounge, among others, including the Priority Pass Lounge and Credit Card Lounge, all within the main terminal. These spaces provide a break from the terminal's crowd, though access usually requires membership or specific airline status.
