Korail Gwangju Jeonnam 'Seol Train Tickets' 100% Contactless Advance Reservation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Korea Railroad Gwangju-Jeonnam Headquarters will conduct a 100% non-face-to-face advance sale of next year's Lunar New Year train tickets online and by phone for three days starting from the 20th.

The advance reservation tickets are for KTX, ITX-Saemaeul, Mugunghwa trains, and others operating during the Lunar New Year holiday period from January 20 to 24 next year.

On the first day of reservations, the 20th, reservations will be made for seniors and persons with disabilities, and on the 21st and 22nd, everyone can make reservations online.

On the 21st, reservations will be made for tickets on the Gyeongbu, Gyeongjeon, Donghae, Chungbuk, Jungbunaeryuk, and Gyeongbuk lines, and on the 22nd, reservations will be made for tickets on the Honam, Jeolla, Gangneung, Janghang, Jungang, Taebaek, Yeongdong, and Gyeongchun lines.

KORAIL has separately arranged reservation days for seniors and persons with disabilities who may not be familiar with internet use and has allocated 10% of all seats in advance. Accordingly, on the 20th, only seniors aged 65 or older and persons registered under the Disability Welfare Act can make reservations by phone or online.

Tickets reserved during the advance reservation period must be paid for between 3 p.m. on the 22nd and midnight on the 25th. Tickets not paid for within the payment deadline will be automatically canceled and preferentially allocated to those on the waiting list.

Unsold remaining seats can be purchased like regular tickets online and offline from 3 p.m. on the 22nd via the Let's KORAIL website, the KORAIL Talk application, and station ticket counters.

Meanwhile, to align with the government's childbirth and childcare policies, KORAIL has decided to apply a 75% discount for accompanying infants (under 6 years old), which was previously excluded during the holiday period, starting from this Lunar New Year ticket reservation.

Detailed information such as train operation during the Lunar New Year holiday period can be found on the KORAIL website, the ticket app 'KORAIL Talk', or the customer center.
