I boarded through door L2, where I was greeted by the cabin manager and escorted by one of the flight attendants to the first class cabin. Korean Air's 787-9 is in a pretty premium-light configuration. Business class consists of a total of just 18 seats,…
Incheon Airport has long been ranked as one of the world's best airports, though personally I always thought it was incredibly overrated. That's why I was excited to check out Incheon's new Terminal 2, which opened earlier this year. My connection at…
In my experience Korean Air is one of the most consistent airlines when it comes to their onboard soft product, both in terms of service and food. However, the quality of their seats varies greatly. At the forward door I was greeted by the cabin manager…
I arrived in Hong Kong at around 8:30AM, while my connecting flight to Seoul Incheon on Korean Air was departing at 12:15PM. I wasn't able to check in online for my flight, so my first stop was the Korean Air transfer desk. Unfortunately the desk wasn't…
Welcome to my next trip report, covering travel in business class on Austrian, EgyptAir, Oman Air, and Air Belgium, and travel in first class on Korean Air and Oman Air. This should be a fun one! This trip was motivated entirely by being able to review…
When it comes to SkyTeam awards, Korean Air SkyPass has been a go-to Ultimate Rewards partner thanks to solid availability on its own flights plus competitive partner award rates. Sure, you'll find exceptions and you'll be on the hook for surcharges…
Yesterday Tiffany shared the sad news that Chase Ultimate Rewards and Korean Air SkyPass will be cutting ties as of August 25, 2018. Chase and Korean Air say that this was a "mutual decision." Ultimately we'll never really know why they're really ending…
Well this is a major disappointment. Korean Air SkyPass has a great program for using miles for premium cabin awards. They often make 2-4 first class award seats available in advance, fly to more U.S. destinations than any other Asian carrier, and have…
Boston Logan Airport continues to be on a roll when it comes to their expansion. Korean Air has just announced that they'll be launching 5x weekly flights between Boston and Seoul Incheon as of April 12, 2019. The new flight will operate with the following…
Korean Air SkyPass is probably my favorite SkyTeam frequent flyer program. What makes the program so great? -- SkyPass is a Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partner, so there are lots of great ways to accrue miles with them, including with the Chase Sapphire…
I'm a sucker for a good airline marketing campaign. Singapore Airlines' ad campaigns? Love them. Air France's "France Is In The Air" campaign? Okay, I actually have no clue what's going on, but it's so chic and French, and I can't help but like it.
After flying from Hong Kong to Seoul Incheon in Korean Air's A330 first class, it was time to connect from Incheon to San Francisco in Korean Air's 787-9 first class. While the A330 and 787 have different configurations, the planes have something in…
After a lovely flight on Air Belgium, it was time to start my journey back to the US on Korean Air. I specifically chose my flights to the US to try new aircraft, as I've reviewed Korean Air's first class on the A380, 777-200, 777-300, and 747-8. So…
Premium credit cards are all the rage nowadays. Cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card and The Platinum Card® from American Express offer perks and bonus categories that more than justify their annual fees of $450 and $550, respectively, in my opinion.…
Yesterday I wrote about how the transpacific joint venture between Delta and Korean Air was finally approved, meaning that the two airlines can start coordinating pricing and schedules on transpacific flights. The immediate good news there is that Delta…
Last March, Delta and Korean Air announced their intention to form a joint venture on transpacific flights. This is quite a development for the two airlines. While they’re both part of SkyTeam, they’ve had the lowest level of cooperation possible within…
The two Korean Air heiresses have been under fire for the past few weeks. Back in 2014 one of them made headlines for her "nut rage" incident on a Korean Air flight. For her actions on that flight, she ended up serving a brief jail sentence, and was…
Two Korean Air heiresses who have been in the news the past few years for their bad tempers are now being investigated for something else. Most of you probably remember the viral 2014 incident in which Heather Cho went berserk after a flight attendant…
Korean Air SkyPass has a great program for using miles for premium cabin awards. They often make 2-4 first class award seats available in advance, fly to more U.S. destinations than any other Asian carrier, and have an excellent first class product.…
Most of you probably remember the viral 2014 incident in which a Korean Air executive, Heather Cho (also the daughter of the company's chairman), went berserk after a flight attendant served her nuts in a bag rather than in a ramekin. She was flying…
In 2014, an incident that occurred on a Korean Air flight from New York JFK to Seoul Incheon went viral. In this incident, a Korean Air executive, Heather Cho (also the daughter of the company’s chairman), went nuts after a flight attendant dared to…
