Asiana is taking a different approach to Malaysia, though, as they’re aligning their soft product for this cabin with what’s offered in business class, with the exception of lounge access.I suspect this is bad news for those looking to redeem partner airline miles, as this may eliminate Asiana as an option.With that in mind, it seems Asiana’s motivation for this change is one of the following (or a combination of these factors):One of the things that I love about Amex Membership Rewards is that they offer bonuses on points transfers to their partners with some frequencies. Asiana’s flight attendants are top notch, and the service didn’t stop after the meal. As a result of…Well, this isn't a very good time for first class in Korea.

In the end, extremely few people on Earth can afford $20k plane ticketsSo with Asiana following Malaysia’s lead on this, I think we can confirm a new fifth (albeit rare and niche) long-haul airline class: First, Business Premium, Business, Premium Economy and Economy.If they rename it business suites however apply a higher rate then what’s the difference between that and first apart from perhaps the baggage allowance It seems ridiculous to have two business products It’s still first as suchso, will they be giving refunds on the difference on first tickets ( with miles) that were booked already for after sept 1 ?I booked an F redemption for July.

Each year he travels more than 200,000 miles by air and has visited more than 135 countries. Watch for more airlines to do the same!Too expensive to reconfig, so you use what you have.Is that the official seat map? So disappointing, and a waste of miles for First Class.The in flight service on all flights was excellent.
