Store luggage at Incheon airport for 2 weeks?

Hi,

After my business trip in Korea, I'm planning to travel to Vietnam for 2 weeks. Is there a place where I could securely and not too costly store a luggage, including a laptop, for 2 weeks? I don't want to carry too much unnecessary items to VN, and will be returning to Incheon anyhow for my connection back to the US.


Does Asiana provide storage? I am flying business class with them for all the long distance legs.


Thanks!

Someone else may have knowledge of the airport storage situation, but another option might be to ask the hotel to keep it for you. Most places are happy to do this.

Thanks for that suggestion, but I'll be flying to Incheon from Busan the same day I'm flying out to Vietnam. The other option is to leave my meeting early and stay the last night in Seoul. But it's a hassle too. Flying to Gimpo domestic airport the night before, go to Seoul. Obtuse way back, get out of Incheon to Seoul to pick up the luggage.

I wrote to Asiana to see if they can keep my luggage, maybe in the lounge, for 2 weeks. Or consider it as a really early check-in of the luggage.

If nothing works out, I guess I have to lug that extra piece around VN.

We stored bags at Incheon, but only for part of a day. There are a couple of services on the main level behind the check-in areas. I recall that it wasn't exactly "inexpensive" but it was worth it not to haul our bags around in the city.

There are a couple of luggage storage services here on this link from the airport website:

Thanks, I'll look into that link to see if they allow long term storage and for less. I saw somewhere it's at least $10 a day, so for 2 weeks, it's $140. Cheaper to check it in on domestic flights.

Asiana replied no.
