Upon our arrival at Incheon we were given transit cards upon deplaning and told to proceed to transit security. There was no queue there, and within a few minutes we were in the departures hall.

Share your questions, experiences, and thoughts below.
That lounge feels airy and refreshing, more like a SAS lounge. Personally I do not enjoy dark places with no view of the tarmac. A latte and a panoramic view of the planes is my kind of relaxation.
Food seem, bleh (adopted Lucky's term), more like any other US lounge. Surprised I did not see the infamous Dorito bags or Haagen Dasz ice cream containers.
I find it interesting that a Korean Air truck is servicing the SQ flight. I would have expected an Asiana truck given they are in the same alliance.
Hey Lucky, how far is the OZ First Class lounge from the silverkris lounge?
Also, does the Aman trip report start soon? 😉
@ MEOW -- It's not very far, though I believe it's an extra five or so minute walk. Since we didn't otherwise know when the flight was boarding, it seemed wise to stay in the Singapore lounge where they'd have the most up to date information.
Aman trip report starts as soon as I finish this one!
You would not have been able to use the OZ First Class lounge. SQ flights take off from the satellite terminal, whereas the OZ First Class lounge is in the main terminal. There is also no way for you to go to the main terminal lounge area without clearing immigration (into and out of Korea), which I am not sure you would be able to do as a transit passenger.
So decent business class lounge, meh first class lounge?
Please tell me this one at least has bathroom facilities...
Someone: actually, OZ has F/C lounges in the satellite terminal as well as the main terminal.
SINJim: Yes, you are right. However, Lucky had linked to his report on the one in the main terminal so I wanted to highlight that it wasn't possible to go to *that* particular Asiana lounge.
BTW, I find the satellite Asiana lounge to be rather average. Given the choice between the two, I'll use the SQ KFL.
"As is the norm for US bound flights, there was an additional security check on the jet bridge, whereby each passengers’ bags had to be searched again."
Were they looking for and confiscating liquids above 100 ml? Or just a general search? I ask because I'm departing Tokyo for SFO and wondering if they will do the same. When I depart London Heathrow bound for the US, they DON'T do a search at the plane, as such, you can bring any beverages you may have bought (or taken from the lounge) since it's already within a secure area. Is this different for Asia departures? I would like to do the same.
@ matthewsf -- They do both a search and confiscating of liquids, as far as I know.
Just a quick unusual view on this lounge: I was with my family in transit from Nadi to Amsterdam and flying Korean/KLM in bizz and thus making our way to the KE lounge. We took the elevator to the floor where all lounges are when my 4 year old daughter got her hand stuck in the elevator.
The response from the Kris lounge crew was phenomenal - they immediately notified an emergency crew and followed up throughout all the hysteria that my daughter caused. I was really impressed how attentive they were and in the end nothing really serious came out of it and the full staff said farewell with a lollipop for the kids and a great smile. What an attentive service when you most need it!
