Would you book a connection through ICN on purpose over a tighter routing?

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through Incheon with a longer stop.

The appeal is clean airport design plus good cultural options on longer stops. The hesitation is overplanning city trips.

Would you intentionally route through Seoul if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose ICN on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.

The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.

That said, if overplanning city trips is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.

A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
