Seoul — Train tickets and seat planning

Before buying rail tickets involving Seoul, compare the route, station and departure date. Start with Seoul Station / Yongsan and confirm whether a transfer is needed. Check passenger names, seating, luggage arrangements and the ticket’s refund terms.

A pass is worthwhile only if its covered journeys fit the itinerary; compare it with individual tickets. Keep enough time to reach the platform. Avoid booking a tight train connection immediately after an international arrival.
