Nearly all international flights to Seoul land at the futuristic Incheon International Airport (??????) (IATA: ICN), west of the city. The airport is well signposted and caters to all your traveler needs, and even includes a sauna, an optician, and a small mall. There are two tourist information offices and many Global ATMs.
The A'REX train link to Gimpo Airport is now open, with express services (28 min, W7900, hourly) and commuter services (33 min, W3100, every 12 min). The rest of the link to Seoul is scheduled to be ready in 2010, but for now, you can continue from Gimpo by regular subway.
Buses run directly to Seoul and are probably the best option for most travellers. Many "limousine buses" (W13000 or so) travel directly to major hotels in Seoul, while public buses (around W8000) will take you to major transit hubs. Consult the big maps to figure out which route best suits your needs; you can then find the shuttles outside 1st floor arrivals. Or simply, walk out and ask the many ticket sellers (they are wearing vests) which bus goes to your hotel.
A taxi direct to Seoul will run around W40000/60000 regular/deluxe. As both buses and taxis are subject to traffic, allow extra time for rush hour delays; one possible shortcut is to take the subway to Gimpo and transfer to the train there (see below).
If you have time to kill at the airport but don't have the time or energy to face Seoul's traffic, see Yeongjong Island or Incheon for some layover suggestions. If you're connecting through ICN to another destination on Korean/Asiana and have over 6 hours to spare, you may be entitled to a free transit tour or hotel — ask at the transit desk.
The more centrally located but older Gimpo Airport (??????, GMP) caters only to the shuttle service to Tokyo and domestic flights within South Korea. Gimpo Airport is easily reached on subway Line 5 (W1400 and 50 minutes to downtown), and you can transfer to/from Incheon Airport with the A'REX rail link.
