I should have posted this at the beginning of my trip.

Whoops!

Anywho…Korean Air is the greatest airline

They have great service, pretty stewardesses, and good food. Plus, when you get on you, they give you a little comfort bag filled with goodies such as socks, a little toothbrush and toothpaste, and a eye cover? so you can sleep. You get your own entertainment console so you can watch movies, listen to music, or play video games.

The food is just right for an air trip. You get a nice bibimbap with soup for dinner. You can get juk (rice porridge) for breakfast. I got the omlette (which wasn't very good).

Oh, did I mention that the girls that work on Korean air are beautiful? Wow. Wow. Wow.

    Wow. I haven't been on this airline in years; looks like they upgraded!! I just saw the first Korean Air commercial on TV a couple days ago, too.
    Asiana Airlines is going to get a run for their money!

    I have travelled to Seoul by Korean Airline once. It was quite comfy.

    I've been flying KAL for years and always thought their food was generally quite good compared to other airlines, and they've improved things as other airlines have upped their game.

    Ditto with Asiana. Of course, Singapore and Cathay Pacific were also pretty good. And the best steak I ever had anywhere — in the air or on the ground — was on Thai Airlines from Seoul to Hong Kong.

    Dan, I could not agree more — when i can afford it, Korean Air is it. Yup, those are eyeshades. ^^ Noteworthy is the service throughout the flight, constantly bringing you water, hand towels, etc.

    I'm not sure how the KAL flight attendants look so perfect throughout a 12-hour flight — they may be androids keke — but i do know there are age, height, and weight limits.
