Welcome to Seoul’s ‘Air City’

Plans are in the works to build an “air city” on the grounds at Seoul’s Incheon International Airport, USA Today reports. The complex, aimed at grabbing a bigger share of in-transit passengers in the region, could apparently include apartments, studios and runways for in-house fashion designers, a theme park, a marina and a clinic designed for medical tourists. Anyone else smell a sequel to The Terminal?

OK, I’m biased as I already love Korea, but why not build something other than the usual drab hotels around the airport? South Korea is a great place to stop over for a couple of days anyway, as it’s so tiny and well served by public transport that you can see mountains, palaces, islands etc easily. But I rattle on about this all the time :-) Follow me on Twitter @CoolstuffKorea for things to do!
