On the 25th, on social networking services (SNS) such as X (formerly Twitter), there were reports of people having to wait for several hours at the departure gate at Incheon Airport to depart.
Users posted one after another about the situation. "There are so many people at Incheon Airport. Even though it's terminal 2, it took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to process the departure," "3 hours and 30 minutes before departure,"
"I arrived at 11:00, but by the time I finished the departure procedures and had a meal, it was time to board. It seems like it would be better to arrive at least four hours before," he said, "to give yourself plenty of time." "There were so many people there, even though we went at 5am."
According to the Incheon International Airport Corporation, a total of 2,141,101 people will travel during the special traffic control period for the Lunar New Year holiday from the 24th to the 2nd of next month, an average of 214,110 people a day.
As of 11 a.m. on the same day, the number of short-term and long-term passengers at Incheon Airport's Terminal 1 was 12.8% higher than last year's Lunar New Year holiday.
All parking lots were full. Even parking lots relatively far from the airport were filled with cars. The reason for the large number of people flocking to Incheon Airport is that the 27th of this month was a special public holiday.
Some analysts say the impact of the designation will be significant, as if the 31st is also taken as a holiday, it will allow for a maximum of nine consecutive days off, making it possible to take long-distance overseas trips.
