[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Korea Railroad (KORAIL) will begin online reservations for train tickets for the Chuseok holiday from the 1st to the 3rd of next month.

The tickets available for reservation are for trains operating for six days from September 29 to October 4.

On the first day of reservations, the 1st, bookings are limited to persons with disabilities (registered under the Disabled Welfare Act) and seniors (born before October 5, 1955). General public can make reservations during the two days from the 2nd to the 3rd.

Those who have not yet registered as railroad members are advised to sign up in advance on the Korea Railroad website.

For those who find it difficult to use the internet, reservations can also be made by phone. Disabled and senior customers who reserve tickets by phone must visit the station to collect their physical tickets by the 6th of next month. They must bring a valid ID (disability welfare card) at that time.

Reserved tickets must be paid for between 3 PM on the 3rd and midnight on the 6th of next month. Tickets not paid for will be automatically canceled and reassigned to those on the waiting list.
