Last day in Korea — making checkout-to-departure count
From checkout (11 AM) to Incheon (arrive by 4 PM), you have about 5 hours. Leaving bags at the hotel wastes a round trip. Drop them at LIT Jongno store and squeeze in Gwangjang Market, Insadong, and Jongmyo. ₩6,000/bag.
Spending your final 5 hours shuttling between hotel and airport is a waste. LIT's Jongno store sits at the city center — drop bags right after checkout, fit in lunch + shopping + a short walk, then Jongno 5-ga → Seoul Station → AREX puts you at the airport in about an hour.
