Are you planning a trip to Korea?

 Whether you are visiting the bustling streets of Seoul or heading down to the beautiful beaches of Busan, the KTX (Korea’s high-speed train) is the best way to travel. However, buying individual tickets can get expensive.


That is why I highly recommend the KORAIL Pass.

 In this post, I will share how to book your KTX tickets easily and save money on your trip.

1. What is the KORAIL Pass?

The KORAIL Pass is a special ticket exclusively for international tourists.

  • Unlimited rides: You can explore every corner of Korea with unlimited access to all trains, including the high-speed KTX operated by KORAIL.

  • Flexible choices: You don't need to use it every day! You can select a pass from 2, 3, 4, or 5 flexible days within a 10-day period. This is perfect for travelers who want to stay in one city for a few days before moving to the next.



2. How to Buy and Redeem It is super easy. You can book your pass online.

  • Booking details: When booking, you will need to enter your personal information exactly as it appears on your passport (Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Country).

  • Convenient booking: Once you purchase the pass, you can easily reserve your seats via the KORAIL website or app.

3. Step-by-Step

How to Reserve Seats Once you have your pass, you must reserve your seat to guarantee a spot. 

Here is how to do it on the KORAIL website or app:

  • Step 1: Go to the "My Ticket" or "KORAIL PASS" menu and select "Seat Reservation".

  • Step 2: Select your travel details (Departure, Arrival, Date, and Passengers) and click "Inquiry".

  • Step 3: Choose your desired train schedule and select your seats (Economy Class is standard; First Class requires an additional charge). Once selected, click "Reservation".

  • Step 4: Review your ticket and click "Confirm". You are done! You can simply board the train using the mobile QR code.



⚠️ Important Tips

  • You can make up to 2 seat reservations per travel date. If you need more (e.g., stopping at 3 different cities in one day), additional charges will apply starting from the 3rd reservation.

  • Printing is optional. The mobile QR code is sufficient, but if you print a paper ticket, the mobile code will be disabled.
