Did you know that there are some gate numbers that do not exist at Incheon Airport?
Take a look at the map below and find the missing numbers!

 
✅ Terminal 1



✅ Terminal 2


 
Have you found them all?
The answers are 4, 13, 44, and 244!
 

In East Asian countries that use Chinese characters, the number '4' has been often avoided because it sounds like the word for 'death' (死).
Similarly, the number '13' has been considered unlucky in Western cultures.

Consequently, these numbers have been frequently not used for floors, room numbers, or gate numbers in buildings.
 
Incheon Airport also follows this practice to ensure that passengers enjoy their flights without worrying any superstitions.
 

Here is another interesting fact! There is no 'I' counter for the check-in desks at Incheon Airport.
It prevents passengers from getting confused with the information centers in advance. 🙌

Incheon Airport has paid attention to even the smallest details for its passengers! 👀✨
We will continue to make sure that your travels are always filled with excitement and joy!
