Practical Information for South Korea Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on regional South Korean trains. Traveling on ITX and Mugunghwa services includes rules for carry-on items and larger bags. Below are key points for your journey:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage. Total dimensions should not exceed 200 cm (sum of all sides) and each piece should weigh under 20 kg to ensure they fit in the designated areas on regional trains.

Storage Facilities

Trains are equipped with overhead racks for smaller bags and backpacks. Larger suitcases should be placed in the luggage storage sections located at the ends of the train cars where available.

Special Items

Items like foldable bicycles or sports equipment are permitted if they are properly packed. Space for bulky items is limited on regional lines, so early boarding is recommended to find space.
