Practical Information for KTX Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on KTX and regional trains. Carry-on and large items have rules that vary by operator. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard services between Busan and Mokpo:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring standard carry-on items and additional luggage. Typical limits are two pieces with combined dimensions under operator limits and individual weight restrictions; check specific operator rules for KTX and regional services before travel.

Storage Facilities

KTX and many intercity trains provide overhead racks and dedicated luggage areas near car ends. Smaller regional trains may have limited space, so stowing bags in overhead compartments is common practice.
