Have a good trip. :D |
my boyfriend has just flown out with them, he wasn't very impressed but it was his first long haul flight so I don't think anything would have impressed him - he did say that they didn't have any backseat televisions, which for me is a must!
But if you can live without them, I'm sure it will be fine - he said the food was good! |

Good Luck |
their non-delivery rate was quite high. Having said that, and probably scared poor Lottie to death (sorry, I am going back a few years), they are always cheap. I believe you get the service you pay for though. Pollyana Fly Broomstick - safest way to travel!:) |
There is another korean airline called Asiana but their plane is ugly and more importantly the connections are rubbish.

Hmmm
I used to travel regularly from Singapore-Seoul. People would physically fight to get on the SQ flight over the Korean Airlines or Asiana flights. They are a truly awful airline. I can say no more than that. Well I can actually. On the plus side - the new airport in Incheon where you'll be landing will be clean and tidy, though its very spartan on things to do. It's at least 1000 times better than Kimpo, the old one. The minus side - the food is only ok if you like cold cabbage and raw garlic - as that will appear at every meal. It'll be at least -10 when you land, and probably more like -20. If you stop in Seoul - head straight for Itaewon where edible food is available. |

I was supposed to go with BA but because of their infuriating strike I was rerouted via Seoul on Korean. Korean was a million times better than BA. No seat back screens (who ever watches the crap on those anyway) but the food was superb and it was service with a smile all the way (now you'd never get that on BA). I agree that Singapore or Thai are better but Korean is still way above BA/Qantas in terms of service. |
