KTX bookings to open 2 months in advance, easing travel for foreign visitors
Tickets for Korea’s high-speed KTX trains will be available for booking up to two months before departure starting next month, extending the current one-month window. Along with the booking window, KTX will introduce a set of operational improvements for foreign travelers next month to make the reservation process more convenient, the government said Sunday. According to the Ministry of Land,…
Korea's high-speed KTX trains will now allow ticket bookings up to two months in advance, beginning from October 1st, according to the government. This extension of the booking window surpasses the previous one-month period. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, along with KORAIL, the KTX operator, announced this development on Sunday.
The primary objective behind this change is to facilitate easier trip planning for travelers throughout the country. For foreign tourists, who typically book their flights to Korea at least two months ahead, this modification holds significant importance. Currently, KTX tickets have been available for purchase only one month prior to travel, posing challenges in coordinating domestic travel plans.
The government's press release highlighted that this adjustment will enable travelers to simultaneously book both KTX and airline tickets, thereby streamlining domestic travel and enhancing convenience in utilizing KTX services. Additionally, the improvement is expected to benefit Korean residents as well.
