Incheon Airport in Seoul is known as one of the best airports in the world to sleep in, Singapore being #1. Incheon Airport also offers a lot of restaurant options whether you are making a quick connection or spending a day or two trying to nonrev out of the airport. The better options needless to say are the ones serving Korean food. Like traveling thru an airport in Texas and eating BBQ or Chicago and trying the Pizza, eating the local specialties is usually the better option since if they are serving more locals and foreigners and the locals know good local food. A restaurant in Seoul might get away serving lousy Mexican food but not lousy Korean food. Try it on your next trip thru or to Seoul Incheon Airport.
