KTX Reservation Let’s learn about the easy and simple way to reserve train tickets and how to check tickets purchased on Naver, and how to get a KTX refund and train ticket refund fees and regulations.
KTX Reservation Method
In addition to using the Let’s Korail website and app to reserve KTX train tickets, you can also search for train ticket reservation on Naver, enter the desired search conditions, and then proceed with the reservation.
Naver-KTX-Train Ticket-Route Search
Just enter the departure and arrival stations to easily find the route and make a reservation.
When searching on Naver and purchasing tickets, you can easily reserve with your Naver ID, and even for transfer sections that are not direct, you can automatically search by entering only the departure and arrival points.
Naver Reservation Ticket Confirmation Method
Train ticket reservations made after searching on Naver are paid through the Naver payment system.
I had made a reservation a week before the day I had to take the train, and when I tried to check the train ticket I had reserved the day before, I was confused because only the payment amount was shown on the Naver payment history page and the train ticket and time were not confirmed.
Naver-Train Ticket-Reservation-Confirmation Method
No matter how much I searched for the Naver payment history, I could check the ticket that I couldn’t find on the search page.
I logged in to the Let’s Korail page and checked, but I couldn’t find it in the reservation history. So I ended up calling the Korail customer center and speaking with a counselor. After searching for ‘train ticket reservation’ on Naver, I found out that if you click on the ticket in the upper right corner of the train inquiry reservation section on the page that appears, you can check the currently issued ticket.
It was so simple, but I remember wasting about an hour because I believed that I could check everything on the payment history page.
KTX refund and train ticket refund method
I learned the exact KTX refund method and train ticket refund method this time. This time, I booked a train ticket that included one transfer, and I missed the train by a hair because I entered the wrong platform during the transfer section.
I thought that the train ticket would be refundable before boarding, but I couldn’t get a refund after the boarding time, so I booked a new train ticket online and checked while riding, and it was possible to get a refund even after the train time.
They say that you can do it through a nearby train station KORAIL or at the customer center. If you don’t get a ticket refund when you apply, you can do it at the train station window. However, the important thing here is that the ticket refund time must be before the arrival time.
In my case, I missed the train and had already booked the next train, so I gave up because I thought it would be difficult to go to the train station window before the arrival time. However, in case of this, I heard that you can ask the station staff on the train you are on to handle it, so if you need a ticket refund or return, please apply so that you don’t suffer the disadvantage of not being able to get a refund.
KTX train ticket refund policy penalty
You need to know the KTX train ticket refund policy to avoid losses and get a refund. The method is slightly different depending on whether it is before or after the most important departure time.
Before departure, you can get a refund on the site where you purchased the train ticket (homepage, Let’s Korail Naver, etc.). After the departure time, you must apply for a refund at the station.
