Practical Information for KTX Travelers

Luggage guidelines for South Korean rail services ensure a systematic environment for all passengers. Below are key points for bringing items aboard:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage. Total dimensions should not exceed 200 cm (sum of length, width, and height), and individual items should stay under 20 kg. Small personal bags are not counted toward this limit.

Storage Facilities

Trains feature overhead racks for smaller bags and dedicated luggage areas at the end of each car for larger suitcases. These areas are designed to keep the aisles clear and maintain safety during the journey.

Special Items

Folding bicycles and sports equipment are permitted if they are stored in a carry case. Musical instruments should be kept in hard cases and placed in the designated luggage racks or overhead bins to avoid obstructing other passengers.
