Korean Air To Introduce A New First Class Product

Looks near identical to the first class product on Asiana's A380...

Hopefully the nuts don't come in packages. It makes me so damn angry when they put the nuts in packages that I want to just yell at the people that serve it to me.

Doesn't explain what they're going to do with all of the extra space in the 748's F cabin if they stick to the layout as seen on expertflyer.

What do you think will happen?

it's long overdue. Asiana has been doing the sliding door F for a few years already (granted, OZ offers F on far far fewer routes)

Are they deciding to serve nuts in porcelain bowls?

Lucky,
Do you know how tall the suite partitions are on each airline that has them? These seem pretty short, whereas Singapore and Etihad seem pretty tall. Any insights to how things rank?

The key question is what changes are they going to make to their nut service?

I did nut see that coming 😉

Aspirational travel aside, for us business travellers, when is KE providing a fully flat business class seat on all its aircraft to provide product consistency

I read somewhere that fuel surcharges were lower now...

Lucky - you posted a pretty cool chart of fuel surcharges for Singapore Airlines on another post, it'd be cool if you could do that with Korean Air too!

Is there anyway to earn miles to Skypass besides Chase UR points? I couldn't get the earning miles from partners descriptions from their website....anyone? thanks!

The 747-8 will not be the first aircraft with the new F product. There's already a 777-300ER (HL8010) flying around with the new F product, and it alternates between FRA and CGK.

Correct me if I'm wrong, this product looks a lot like Jet Airways's first class product: from the design of the doors, to the reading lights, and to some degree the wooden scheme. This certainly isn't anything innovative, but rather Korean air catching up with the rest of the industry. Although Jet airways is by no way impressive, their product was introduced a while ago

Still sticking with the vomitous blue upholstery, I see.

hey now it's celadon green!

Lucky, any time you post you should also mention an example of the fuel surcharges an airline imposes when you book an award, or mention that there are no fuel surcharges if that's the case. Or maybe just post a page that lays out common fuel surcharges when booked using X points on X airline in chart form and then just include a link to that page in most articles. That would be a HUGE help!

@ Ken -- Thanks, will try to do that in the future. For what it's worth, the link to redeeming Korean Air SkyPass miles has info about fuel surcharges. Will try to be clearer in the future.

@ Mochi -- Thanks for the heads up!

@ Wesley C -- You can credit SkyTeam flights to them, but that's about it.

@ JorgeC -- Let me see what I can do!

@ Tom -- Interesting topic. It does indeed vary quite a bit by airline. Etihad and Singapore's do seem to be higher than those of some other airlines.
