For southbound trains from Seoul to Busan, the right side (seats A and B) is better in the morning, while the left side (seats C and D) is better in the afternoon to avoid sunlight. For northbound trains from Busan to Seoul, the left side is better in the morning and the right side in the afternoon.

4. Check the location of chargers inside the KTX
Many people use laptops or mobile phones while seated on the KTX. It's reassuring to know that there's a power outlet nearby. The KTX Sancheon has outlets located at the bottom center of the front seat and all seats, making it convenient. The KTX has power outlets located between the windows. (Seats 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 A, B, C, and D) Note that the front and rear seats all have power outlets. For KTX special class, you can use 220V, and outlets are available in all odd-numbered seats, so it's good to check and purchase before booking.
5. Using the 'Open' button on the KTX compartment door
Pressing the button above the door keeps the door open for 1 minute. When you have a lot of luggage or many people are getting off, it is more useful to use the 1-minute door-opening button instead of continuously pressing the open/close button.
6. Use free Wi-Fi on KTX
Inside the KTX, you can use two Wi-Fi networks: 'KTX-WiFi-Free' and 'KTX-WiFi-Secure'. Free Wi-Fi can be used by anyone, making it vulnerable to security issues such as personal information leakage. If you prioritize security, it's best to select the Secure network. The ID and password are both 'wifi'.
7. Which part of the KTX is quieter?
It is said that the rear part of the train is relatively quieter than the front.
8. Using the restrooms on the KTX
There are a total of 10 restrooms on the KTX, located in cars 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 18. Among these, car 2 has a restroom for the disabled. In the case of the KTX Sancheon train, the light inside the restroom will be on if someone is inside, making it easy to check if it's in use.
9. There's a tip for booking when KTX is sold out
If all seats, including standing tickets, are sold out from the departure station to your destination when booking KTX, you can purchase a standing ticket to a midway station between the departure and destination stations first. Then, call the crew through the app and request an extension of your journey. You can then travel to your destination after paying an additional fee. Please note that you must make the payment before passing the originally purchased destination station to avoid fare evasion.
10. Check for canceled KTX tickets
Canceled KTX tickets are released after 2 am. If you haven't been able to book a ticket and are anxiously waiting, keep an eye out for canceled tickets in the early morning. You can wait for canceled tickets to appear on the Korail app by continuously refreshing and then book.
