That is possible if you do first class but for the regular seats, no. However, if you buy all three tickets at the same time, you'll have a great chance that you'll all sit together 😁 my friends and I would do that all the time traveling to Busan ❤️
Thanks for the reply! But I was looking at my reservation and it doesn’t say anywhere about which platform or car number it is. I assume KTX 005 is the train number, is the number below the cabin class the platform number or is that the train number? I’ve checked everywhere for more info but I can’t find any. I apologise for the questions!
Great question! The way Korea monitors "who" has a ticket is actually really smart. When you buy a ticket, you're assigned a seat number. After every stop, a train attendant will walk through each car with a tablet that says which seats are paid for and which aren't. Therefore, they don't verify that YOU have a ticket, rather they verify that the seat you are sitting in has been paid for. As long as you're in your assigned seat, you'll be just fine!
@@globetrotterkyle so you mean to say that once I arrived to my station of departure, just go straight into the platform and wait for my train? no talking to attendants before entering the platform?
Hi. What if we bought for family members in app? They will use my phone to scan to enter the train? Thanks
If 12A is your seat number, what is the car number? 13?
There should be a section that says which car you are 👍
@@globetrotterkyleI wonder too, how to know car number of that ticket? Is that 13?🤔
Can you preselect an assigned seat? I’m traveling with party of 3 and I want us to sit together.

@@globetrotterkyle Thank you !!!
so the payment should be made using credit card, I made a payment using debit card then it said "cancelled itinerary issue not available"
That's great Intel, thanks! Was it a Korean debit card or a US debit card?
@@globetrotterkyle Indonesian debit card. So i finally tried again using Paypal and success.
@@globetrotterkyle Indonesian debit card. So i finally used Paypal instead to continou the payment.
Can we use this to prebook tickets even though we’re not in Korea yet? I’m planning on purchasing tickets in advance for my trip later this month
Yep! Just be sure to select the correct date of departure and it should be fine!

@@a182_gdg4 hmmm 🤔 maybe send me a screenshot on my Instagram? @globetrotterkyle
Happy to take a look and see what I can decipher 🤓
Hi , do we need to go counter again using this app for reservations?
Nope! Once you've made reservations (and paid for them) you're good to go!
Hi, once I purchased the tickets on the app, do I just go directly inside and wait for the train? I mean, how will they verify my ticket?

@@ryekun1212 yep, that's right!! You might have to scan to get through a turnstile but that'll depend on the station 🙂
There is no app called the ktx app.
Correct, it's not called "KTX". Search "KorailTalk" and you'll find it 💪
Do we need to go to counter again for the physical tickets?
Nope! Once you've made reservations (and paid for them), you're good to go!
