Hello from Seoul Incheon, as I’m in the middle of my current review trip! After flying from Frankfurt to Ulaanbaatar in MIAT Mongolian’s Boeing 787-9 business class, I connected from Ulaanbaatar to Seoul Incheon in MIAT Mongolian’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 business class. In this post I wanted to share my initial impressions of this…

These two MIAT reviews were really fun
Thanks
I’m surprised you’ve never done a review of the “lie flat” on air Asia x (or maybe I missed it)
I was so intrigued by it when I flew them. It was like flying a no frills airline where every thing had a cost but it was so cheap.
I love it when third world airlines try to serve Western stuff by just randomly combining ingredients that they think will feel Western. Of course you will want strawberry jam with your salmon, just like you will want, say, grated carrots and shrimp as an appetizer.
I know it's weird to say, but I really like their logo! It's the perfect combo of their history and aviation. Interestingly it sounds like the food we got in the back was better than the front! But that was in the summer, and I'm sure everything sourced in the summer is more plentiful than what they have in winter. Gorgeous views!
The jelly is for the bread roll, no? I don't know about Finland, but it's quite common to smear jelly on bread in many cultures.
Take a step back. Even serving strawberry jam with salmon doesn't justify the degrading comment of "third world airlines" trying to be Western. C'mon, if you think about it, how is serving lingonberry jam with meatballs any different?
@Daniel: Sure, it's about as amusing as Western airlines drowning dried out chicken breast in a brown sugary syrup they call "teriyaki sauce" and claiming that it's Asian
The main dish from your meal from the photo looks as appetizing as the disgusting photos previously posted for United/American business class sandwich meal!
Ben, it might too late but if you haven't boarded on Zipair flight from ICN to NRT, please try "Smart Pass."

You need an app to register it but if you do it once, you'll be able to save a significant amount time at the security screening line.
If you fly Korean Air or Asiana next time, I'd recommend Seoul City Airport Terminal in Seoul Train Station. Checking-in at this terminal lets you bypass the general screening at ICN and take the screening facility dedicated to crews and government officials. Not many non-Koreans know about this trick.

Thanks Ben. Its great to see some reviews like this back on the site! Keep them coming.
Some of the best airline food I ever had was on the old Frontier Airlines. Great sandwiches, even a great salmon bagel.
