I made it to the airport no problems and went to the departures area as I already had my boarding card from this morning when I had arrived. The airport train doesnt go direct to the airport but you have to get off two stops early where there is a branch line that goes via the expo centre.Singapore was a nice airport to sit and rest for a while with lots of free internet terminals everywhere. I had emailed the strange guy from the Medan airport train to say sorry...

I kept hearing about the Airport Jimjilbang (sleeping room) in the basement level so was quite curious to find it. A common question is if you have an early morning flight are there cheap hostels or hotels nearby. Unfortunately there is nothing and Incheon is at least half hour out from Seoul on the Express Train but the Airport Spa provides an easy solution.

For the next part of my journey I was going to take the airport express train from seoul station to incheon airport. There are actually two trains, the local train with stops, and the express. The local train runs every 10 mins for 3800w ($3) whereas the express runs every 30 mins for 13,000w ($12). Journey time between the two is only 10 mins faster on the express at 43mins vs 53mins on the local train. The only other advantage is the express has nicer airplane ...
