Compared to 31 or 32 inches in most international economy classes these days, that’s a difference you can feel. A miso-like soup and a banana completed a dinner that was a lot better than the usual coach-class starch assault.Soon after dinner, the second sunrise of the day greeted the cabin as passengers lifted their window shades, and we landed in at JFK at the same time we left, having crossed the International Date Line eastbound.Exiting the coach-class section we walked through the first class cabin in the nose of the plane, Aside from the turbulence, which of course wasn’t the airline’s fault, this 12-hour, 43-minute ride on the biggest passenger plane was far more enjoyable than one might expect when facing 7,000 miles in coach. A garlicky bite and layered texture put my entree squarely at the top end of coach-class food.

Those I could see unfailingly asked for the noodles, to a one. Half an hour after takeoff, the captain came on the PA to introduce himself and his cockpit crew, and announce that we expected bumps ahead.Seven hours later, just after a bumpy crossing from Alaska into Canada over the high mountains of the Yukon Territory, we were tossed for several minutes by roller-coaster turbulence. A salad with shrimp and cold fusilli pasta with pesto came pre-dressed and also had an enjoyable, oniony kick. In fact I had quite a bit of leg room. Korean Air Economy Class Review Date: February 7, 2018 Author: Off the bitten path 6 Comments Today we have a wonderful guest blogger Roy who writes Off the Bitten Path about strange and interesting food he has eaten from around the world like century eggs , fried crickets , raw horse mane sushi , and chicken feet . Korean Air doesn’t specify maximum sizes but for Economy, the combined weight of both items must not exceed 12kg (25lb) and 18kg (40lb) for First Class and Prestige. I used my new Delta Reserve® Credit Card from American Express to help meet the $3,000 minimum spend requirement for the welcome bonus, which once reached gave me 10,000 Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQMs) and 40,000 bonus miles. After trawling the entire length of the terminal I finally found a 7-eleven where I could buy a few drinks, and some unusual snacks Boarding went smoothly, and within no time I was seated in the isle seat of the middle section.I could tell straight away that this was no budget airlines as my knees didn’t touch the back of the chair in front of me. Korean Air and Asiana have strengthened cargo networks from Vietnam to transport gadgets made at Samsung and LG factories there, Um said. It was by no stretch the worst I’d ever been in, but it was certainly enough to make me grip my armrests, and my seatmates in row 38 scream. Its fleet consists of planes with two-cabin (Prestige Class, which is its version of Business Class, and Economy Class) and three-cabin (First Class, Prestige Class and Economy Class) configurations.

Cons: Messy boarding, no Wi-Fi.Until not long ago, I’d never flown onboard an Airbus A380. For dinner I had a Korean bibimbap, which the flight attendant showed me how to mix.Surprisingly we were given real cutlery instead of disposable ones. Like on my overnight connecting flight from Singapore, a flight attendant made her way to my seat to greet me by name and thank me for being an elite passenger. Beer and wine was also freely available, though I stuck to juice.At breakfast time I chose the continental breakfast, which was a little on the meager side with just a tiny croissant, some fruit and not much else really. Seated above the vast surface of the left wing, I saw it flex upwards, going from drooping to straight, as we picked up speed and lift took hold.The only problem with that wing was that it blocked my view, but the solution was at hand: Forward- and downward-facing cameras linked to the in-flight entertainment system!
