Can I make a 2½ hours connection at PUS on an international flight?
2½ hours clears the 100-minute international minimum connection time at Gimhae International, but you should still head directly to your gate. The Domestic and International Terminals are physically separate buildings a few hundred meters apart, linked by a covered outdoor walkway and a free shuttle bus that runs every few minutes. Any connection touching international flights requires full immigration and customs processing since there is no sterile international transit corridor, and domestic-to-domestic transfers still require re-entering security in the other terminal.
How much time do I need for a layover at PUS?
We recommend at least 1 hour for a comfortable connection at Gimhae International. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 15 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 15 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at PUS?
If you miss a connection, head to your airline's transfer desk or ticketing counter in the relevant terminal (domestic desks are compact, international check-in counters handle rebooking); Air Busan, Korean Air, and Asiana all have staffed counters, but options may be limited since PUS has far fewer daily flights than Incheon.
