I simply couldn't take the subway ㅠㅠ so I took the Thunderbird, and it was an excellent choice~ It was a bit inconvenient since you don't board with a QR code, but the instructions on how to exchange for a ticket were very clear, so I was able to board without any trouble~

I used it without any issues on my departure. Upon arrival, immigration took a long time, so I missed my scheduled time and had to board with unreserved seating an hour later at the information desk. I do not recommend reserved seating for arrivals.
