We took the shuttle from the Hyatt Regency Incheon to the airport at around 10AM, and arrived at the airport a few minutes later. Asiana first class check-in is located at the far end of the terminal with two "guards" stationed at the front of the line, despite the fact that no one was in…

I flew OZ F from ICN-JFK at the begining of the month and I had to go back to the ticketing agent to ask about a priority security line. That's when they escorted me through another door. I was on my own at Passport control.
Did you have to ask the ticket agent to escort you through security? Did they escort you to the front of the line at passport control too?
It was nice that they escorted me to the plane and by pass the line at the planeside check.
@ Mike -- They do seem pretty inconsistent in this regard. The last time I flew Asiana first class out of Incheon they didn't escort to security, though this time they did (without asking). Both times I was escorted from the lounge to the plane, however.
Unfortunately the "escorting" stopped at security. They didn't take us as far as immigration.
Do you prefer Discover or Mastercard? I have repeatedly tried to ask this inquiry.
LeBlanc, no it's not a simple question. there are many factors and many types of each card?
@LeBlanc: There are potentially hundreds of Master Cards to choose from. Which one are we supposed to assume you're talking about? Are you even old enough to have a credit card?
My experience with getting escorted to the plane was just the opposite. We were walking at a quite brisk pace (and yes she was also wearing heels). I guess it depends on the agent.
WHICH IS BETTER VIZA OR MERCIAN XPRESS? I HAVE ONLY ONCE TRIED TO ASK THIS INQUIRY!
LMFAO. How about Pepsi v Coke? Compare and contrast the two, providing a justification for your selection.
Woah! Since when did we go on to comment on Credit and Debit Cards? Anyway.... Hey lucky, did you see any shower facilities at the lounge? Or were they seperate from it (or even non exsistant)?
@ Darren -- Absolutely, the lounge had some very nice shower rooms, and I believe they have them in the business class lounge as well.
I should certainly pay them a visit sometime! Thanks for telling me about the showers.
I been in the F lounge @ ICN for a couple of times, and I seem to recall that they don't have any separate working areas.
Is this also what you remember, Lucky ?
They also do loud announcements about departing flights, if my memory serves me right - not very nice when you are on conference call.
@ Johnny -- That's my recollection as well. I don't believe they have any workstations. I don't remember any announcements, though.
Am I able to use this lounge upon arrival from LAX in F? I'm connecting to BKK in biz
@ Arthur -- If you're connecting on Asiana then yes, but if you're connecting on another airline (like Thai) then typically no.
Lucky. I am arriving on the new OZ F to ORD this Wednesday. Upon arrival, will I be granted entrance to UAL arrival Suite/IFL?
@ Arthur -- You won't be, that's only available to United international first class passengers unfortunately.
@ Joe -- Only if you're connecting onwards in first class on the Star Alliance. It's not an arrivals lounge.
Hi, I am an asiana club Gold member, will soon be upgraded to Diamond staus (Star alliance gold). What is the best way to upgrade my next international flight from LAX to ICN on Asiana from Economy to Business class? I believe with the new rollout of the A380, 40,000 miles are needed to upgrade one way from Econ to Business.
Hey Lucky-
If I am arriving on UA F from SFO and departing SQ F to SIN what lounge would you do. I believe I have 4 hours to hang somewhere.
Thanks!
Adan
Lucky - can I pay or use my UA miles to get in at least the biz lounge? I am UA club member but I know for Star Alliance partners you are only allowed one guest and yourself. We have 3 all together in our party -Thanks
