🚌 Taking the 6101 Bus from Nowon to Gimpo Airport – A Comfortable and Convenient Option
If you’re flying out of Gimpo Airport and starting your journey in Nowon, there’s a stress-free and reliable way to get there: the 6101 airport limousine bus. I recently took it on my way to Jeju Island, and honestly, it was way better than dragging my suitcase through multiple subway transfers.
Let me walk you through everything you need to know — from where to catch the bus, to the timetable, route, and fare.
📍 Where to Catch the 6101 Bus in Nowon
The 6101 bus departs from a stop right across the street from Nowon District Office, near Burger King and Hobak Nightclub. It’s easy to spot, and you can use your T-money or other transportation card to board — no reservation required.
If you’re closer to Changdong Station, you can also board there. Just exit from Exit 1, and the stop will be on your left side.
🗺️ Route Overview
Here’s a simplified look at the major stops on the 6101 route:
- Changdong Station (Exit 1)
- Nowon District Office (across from Hobak Night)
- Madeul Station (Exit 1)
- In front of Noil Elementary School
- Surak Terminal (near Suraksan Station, Exit 5 or 6)
- → Gimpo Airport (Domestic Terminal, 1st floor, Gate 5)
It’s a direct route without the hassle of subway transfers, making it ideal if you’re carrying luggage or traveling with kids.
⏰ Timetable
From Changdong Station:
- First Bus: 4:25 AM
- Last Bus: 8:30 PM
From Gimpo Airport:
- First Bus: 8:15 AM
- Last Bus: 10:30 PM
- Every 30 minutes until 7:00 AM

The timing is well-suited for both early morning and evening flights.
💳 Fare Information
- Adults: 9,000 KRW
- Children: 6,000 KRW
Yes, it’s more expensive than the subway (about 3 times the price), but when you factor in comfort, direct travel, and no need to transfer, it’s absolutely worth it — especially with bulky luggage.
🪑 Bus Interior & Comfort
The bus is designed for airport travelers:
- Left side: Two seats per row
- Right side: One seat per row
There’s space for large suitcases, and seats are spacious and comfortable. Unless you’re traveling during peak holiday season, you’ll likely find a seat without any issues.
✔️ Extra Tips
- At Gimpo Airport, you can catch the bus on the first floor at Gate 5.
- Don’t confuse bus 6101 with 6100, which goes only to Incheon Airport and skips Gimpo entirely.
- If you accidentally board the wrong one, you might not be able to get off until it’s too late — I actually saw this happen on my trip!

- No subway transfers
- More comfortable than public transit
- Ideal for travelers with suitcases
- No advance booking needed

If you want a hassle-free start to your trip, the 6101 airport limousine bus from Nowon is a smart and comfortable choice.
