AVOID THESE MISTAKES
4 mistakes worth remembering.
Assuming every station has a large empty locker.
Do this instead Check live availability or keep a staffed-storage alternative nearby.
Leaving a passport or essential medicine in the bag.
Do this instead Carry anything irreplaceable or needed before the stated collection time.
Treating the station opening time as the counter opening time.
Do this instead Check the hours for the exact service and leave a retrieval buffer.
Booking delivery without confirming hotel acceptance.
Do this instead Confirm both the delivery operator's route and the accommodation's baggage policy.
TRAVELER FAQ
Answers before you leave.
Are luggage lockers available in Seoul subway stations?
Yes. Seoul's official guide lists T-Locker across many stations, but compartment size and availability vary.
Can I send a bag to Incheon Airport?
T-Luggage lists selected airport delivery routes. Check the current supported terminal, cutoff, bag size and collection point before booking.
Can I open a locker after the subway closes?
Do not assume so. Official Seoul guidance says storage access is tied to operating hours, and exact service hours differ.
What should stay in my day bag?
Passport, wallet, medicine, power and communication essentials, valuables, onward ticket and anything you need before collection.
What proof should I keep?
Keep the official receipt or booking, bag photo, location and support contact offline until the bag is safely returned.
