Luggage Guidelines on Seoul to Incheon trains. Traveling between these cities includes specific rules for carry-on items, especially on airport-bound services:

Luggage Allowance

Storage Facilities

Express trains feature dedicated luggage racks near the entrance of each car. All-stop trains rely on overhead racks and floor space, so travelers with large suitcases are advised to use express services.
