Hi to all that know us.

Not been on for a while. Life very hectic.

Thinking of going home for Christmas as my mum is sick, Asiana Airlines are $7000 for the 4 of us, next best price is $10,000.

Anyone flown with Asiana? Not concerned about the stopover in Seoul but would love to hear of experiences.

Thanks

Seems to have old equipment and a lack of any entertainment but otherwise excellent. Have a read

So popular that I've never heard of them. Anyhow some Korean airlines have a nasty habit of flying into mountains.

Or getting shot down by Mig jets when they accidentally on purpose stray into Soviet airspace !

Maybe that is why the flight was designated KAL 007.

Just arrived in Sydney flying Asiana Business class from London via Incheon. Business class rocks! nice big lazy boy size cocoon, kids slept the whole way. Business class with Asiana was quite competative.This was our 3rd time flying east, and I have to admit the 11hr: 10hr break down of the flight is a lot better than the 13hr:8hr or 14hr:7hr when hubbing in KL or Singapore. The economy seats look decent. 34" and 3-3-3 formation on 777 as opposed to 3-4-3 on the 747, staff are excellent and Incheon is rated one of the best in the world. The huge benefit to irish travellers is the flight leaves Term 1 in Heathrow, which really simplifies the connection. (Malaysian and Sing is term 3, nightmare connection). overall a great experience thumbs up!

A website full of moaners and whingers!! Always find it strange how there are more complaints than compliments, and most of the complaints do not match my experiences, except where Qantas are concerned.

True, however perhaps that is the nature of life. Someone will rarely go out of the way to compliment good service, but bad service...well its amazing the time someone will give to that. That and a lot of the reviewers are American, so we have to make allowances for that
