Seoul Incheon Airport

It's spotlessly clean modern and spacious and efficient. The only improvement necessary is additional immigration staff to handle foreign passports on arrival. Inbound Korean passport holders now have an electronic passport recognition lane and this appears to be very quick. For my flight departing to Australia from the new concourse A curiously enough there was yet another carry-on baggage check immediately before boarding the aircraft but this checkpoint was fully staffed and caused a delay of only a few minutes. Another good find at Airport City just 10 mins from Incheon terminal via their free mini-bus shuttle is Hotel Sky that provides overnight accommodation at a most reasonable price. The standby rate is 50000won (less than US$40) but only when booked by staff at the Korean Tourist Office stand which is very hard to find tucked away in the terminal building near exit F and to the right of the donut stand. Otherwise exactly the same room booked at any of the hotel information stands is 85000won. It's clean and quiet and lacks additional facilities apart from a free internet lounge but convenience shops and small restaurants are immediately adjacent.

The nicest airport I've been to. If I must get stranded in one Incheon would be my first choice for sure! It's clean and open and just a nice atmosphere overall.
