KORAIL train tickets for the Lunar New Year’s holidays will go on sale from January 11-13.
This year will once again be conducted 100% online or over the phone in order to prevent customers from lining up at station counters due to coronavirus concerns.

Here are how to order tickets this year:
January 11 — Only those over 65 and those with disabilities covered under the Disability Welfare Act can make reservations on the Let’s Korail website or app. Reservations begin at 9 a.m.
January 12 — Tickets are available for the general public beginning at 7 a.m. on the KTX, ITX-Saemaeul, and Mugunghwa. Tickets for the Gyeongbu, Gyeongjeon, Donghae, and Chungbuk lines are available.
January 13 – Tickets for the Honam, Jeolla, Gangneung, Janghang, and Jungang lines are taking reservations.
