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.

Bicycles and large sports equipment are generally permitted on certain cars during weekends and public holidays. On weekdays, restrictions apply to maintain space for commuters.
