Footlong sandwiches at Gimpo beat yet another airport burger

This Subway sits airside in Gimpo International Airport, giving you a made-to-order sandwich option that feels lighter than the Lotteria-style burgers scattered around the terminals. The shop runs on the usual Subway format: pick your bread, choose a 15 cm or 30 cm sandwich, then stack on vegetables and sauces. Expect the standard Korean Subway menu with tuna, Italian B.M.T., turkey, and a couple of localized options like bulgogi, plus a basic set of cookies and fountain drinks.

Prices at this Gimpo location track with city branches: a 15 cm sandwich usually lands around ₩5,000–₩7,000, while a 30 cm runs closer to ₩9,000–₩11,000 depending on meat and extras. Combo sets with a drink and chips add roughly ₩2,000–₩3,000. That puts it slightly pricier than a CU or GS25 kimbap roll in the terminal, but still cheaper and less heavy than a full Korean or Western sit-down meal before your flight.

Portion size is predictable, which helps on tighter connections through the International terminal. You can usually order, pay, and be walking back toward the gates within 10–15 minutes unless you hit a rush right after a Jeju or Busan arrival. Because everything is assembled in front of you, it’s easy to skip sauces or cheese if you want something that travels better on a 60–90 minute hop to Fukuoka or Shanghai.

The 3.0 rating reflects exactly what this is: franchise-standard bread, vegetables that look like every other Korean Subway, and sauces you already know. Nothing here competes with a proper airport Korean meal, but it does beat getting stuck with a soggy pre-made sandwich from a convenience store cooler at 21:00. If you’re short on time, order a 15 cm takeaway and ask them to wrap the sauce separately so the bread survives your gate wait.
