The connection to the next flight can be difficult. We got lost in the Incheon Airport trying to transfer to Terminal 1, and almost missed our flight since it was very difficult to find instructions on how to get there. I suggest finding instructions how to transfer to the connecting flight in Incheon Airport.

Be careful to allow enough time when going thru Customs & Immigration. Despite having Global entry privileges, we missed our connecting domestic flight because luggages arrived late before we got thru Customs. Then, we have to contend with long security lines in SEA.

Fly Korean Air if you can. ICN is a great airport and you won't have any issues getting through in a reasonable time, but be aware that the gates for US-bound flights are fairly far away.

Incheon has always impressed me by its cleanliness so I invariably choose Korean Air over and above others. I appreciate the 2 free checked-in luggage policy. I find the weight limit for carry-ons plus personal item a bit restrictive. I bring a laptop with an AC adapter and that alone brings my carry-on weight close to the limit. Next time, I shall try not to bring other battery chargers (the ones that are not allowed to be checked in).

The business class is excellent. I loved the food, and the crew was very attentive and professional. From boarding to arrival, everything felt smooth and well-organised.

Lousy entertainment system. Crews are excellent. Meal is just mediocre.

Aircraft is pretty old. Seat is not comfortable. Meal quality is disappointing. Entertainment system is not impressive at all.

Great service and comfort level. You can have more of vegetarian food options.

It’s great, long flight and arrive safe at destination

Everything was excellent as I expected. They also had a very caring crew. I had a headache and asked a Tylenol. The crew members kept checking with me how I was doing.

I can't believe they put my wife and I in the two middle seats! It is a very long flight and we had single flyers on either side of us blocking the way to the bathroom! There's no reason to not give one of us the isle seat so we could have managed bathroom needs and snacks with convenience. So I think very poorly of Korean air to put us both in the middle, I've never had that happen before and will probably avoid this airline in the future because of this. We tried to have them change it but they didn't so you pretty much lost a customer because of it.

There could have been better spacing of the passengers, it was crowded in some parts of the plane then other while rows were empty

Plane took off on time and I had the whole row to myself!

One of the flight attendants stepped on my foot. I was on the aisle seat. A lady inside needed to get out. So Instood. Just then, a flight attentendant came wuicklybtheoughbthe aisle and stepprd on my sock covered toes. I let out a small sound. She stopped momentarily, but didn’t ask how I was just took off of the aisle. Never came back to see how I was. Fortunately, I was not really hurt other than a slight soreness in my toes. But I found that to be very negligent.

Seating was good in the economy with plenty of leg room. The seat cushions were a little firm though, especially for such a long flight. All meals were Korean as would be expected. The food was typical airline quality. Edible, but not something you would recommend to friends. Inflight entertainment was also all Korean but Korean tv and movies are made well and you can find something to watch. Just be prepared to read subtitles. Overall it was a good flight, especially for the price.

The crews were friendly, professional and courteous. Checking in was easy and smooth. The best part is, as we all know, the price.

The person in front of me was rude. He may came from some communism countries and don’t care of other people. No common manner and sense between human being.

Very nice staff, airplanes, and an excellent value in premium economy.

Food quality is poor. Flight attendants are very friendly and professional.

I flew on Zip Air on the way to Asia so I can compare. The two airlines are night and day. Air Premia was so amazing compared to Zip Air. I have flown Korean Air in the past and I honestly don’t know the difference between Air Premia and the “non-budget” airlines. My Air Premia flight provided me two bags whereas I had to pay for Zip Air. On my under 11 hour flight, we were provided two full meals! The flight attendants were so kind and polite.

For the price, the overall experience was what I expected. The prices were fair and competitive, the staff friendly and more responsive than other airlines, and seating spacious. The downside was food portion size, but I'll gladly pay a few dollars more for the hot noodles or other supplemental snacks, given the more affordable ticket prices. I don't mind the absence of Hollywood movie programming if that leads to inflated ticket prices. Wi-Fi worked well. In addition to spacious seating for the Wide Premiium, I'd suggest foot rests to complement the calf rests. There're problems with booking Air Premia tickets at the home website. The underlying app engine won't process non-Korean credit cards, which is a major oversight, probably hurting the company's bottom line. I can go to Kayak or a third-party website to book Air Premia tickets, but it's an awkward work-around when other airlines don't have to resort to this tactic.

As it's a budget airline it's pretty basic. But the quality of crew and plane is excellent.

First time flying with them and was pleasantly surprised. I had a premium economy seat which is very similar to some other airlines regional business class product. Seat was large, pillow was provided, huge amount of leg room, entertainment was available (only Korean shows), and lunch meal was served between Narita and Seoul. Really enjoyable and affordable

Maybe the reimbursement voucher should have been larger than a 10k won. That voucher is only for refreshments. The flight was delayed or pushed to more than 5 hours. It should be more than just 10k won and it was already past midnight. Some people or passengers like who was already there 5 hours prior to the original flight departure. 4pm** That was the only unfortunate thing about it . Other than that it was good .

Humm, I should have known that the seat I peaked on my flight from Inchon to Manila was designed for a toddler or very small person.

The staff hold my luggage to steel and exchange my stub, i was very disappointed.

Kayak uses scammer sites to steal money from their victims.

Kayak along with airfare assay are attempting to steal my money. Charges are being pressed.

Customer service and attention to details. The food was good.

Felt like the oldest plane in Asiana Fleet. Screen was 5-6in only and no charging at all. Movie selection wasn't great.

When one asks for water because they are dehydrated, bring more then a sip or two in a small cup. Bring them a whole bottle.

Food could be better it was okay. Entertainment seems dated it was something but in this day and age could be a lot better.

I am thankful that I was able to fly using Asiana

It was my first time flying Asiana but i was very pleased with how professional and understanding the flight crew is with little kids. One flight attendant held my 3 year old daughter’s hand guiding her to the exit after landing while i had my hands full with luggage and my infant. She was very helpful.

Everything went smoothly, although the usual gripes about airline travel were still present: the boarding process is inefficient, the snack selection is limited, and so on. Since there was extra space on the flight, the gate agent rearranged many people's seats to put people on the aisles and windows, leaving the middle seats empty, as much as possible, which was pretty great.

Landed without a gate ready. Plane is extremely old and dirty.

All the amenities was wonderful, if they could keep their prices that low. I'd fly with them all the time.

Very old plane with no inflight entertainment. I purchased the internet pass and it was nearly unusable.

My tray was broken so i had no place to work or eat except my lap. Flight attendant said I would get an email with some credit or miles, it was a complete waste of time as I could only function at about 20% of normal. I have not received anything yet.

Short trip, no food and therefore no expectation for much interaction with staff who were pleasant and professional. My critique is on comfort of the seats. Exit rows and comfort seats do not provide enough personal space for 3 side-by-side seats, especially when in the middle row. Some passengers are not considerate of the middle seat and there should be signs that state something to the effect of: "please consider giving middle seats use of the armrests."

My flight yesterday evening was delayed 3.5 hours with no water or food service. Poor experience

Transparency from pilots, quick boarding and exiting the plane, staff greeted to each and everyone,

Didn't like sitting on the waiting pad for 30 minutes right after departing the gate. If you're going to do that, just don't board so people can still get up and walk around in the terminal. My luggage was damaged by the baggage handlers.

Pilots lied about waiting on “paperwork”. Sat in the plane for over an hour, waiting on some papers to be printed according to the pilot and then all of a sudden he says good news maintenance is finally on their way. Maybe they can fix it before we get our paperwork. Ended up missing my connection in LaGuardia and as a result, had a fly home to Lexington instead of the Louisville airport. Then paid $100 to uber to Louisville since it was midnight by the time I got in. I wish they would just be transparent with passengers sometimes and not try to beat around the bush on why things are delayed.

The rear seat on the second leg should be illegal. There’s no way you should make somebody sit that close to the washroom. Very awkward.

Terrific in every way. On time, professional staff, multiple movie options to select, great food and drink.

My bags were misplaced!!! Im in a foreign country with no bags

The entertainment options on the seat back video boards were nice.

The flight I was supposed to be on was supposed to take off at 1:50 from State College. It was delayed over and over and over again until somehow I had to rebook on a flight that was supposed to have left State College at 8 am that morning but didn't end up taking off until almost 6 pm. Not only was this completely unacceptable, the "token from United" was a 15 dollar meal voucher that has to be used by today. I would personally like some miles added to my account for this inconvenience. I was in transit for 8 hours from the time I arrive at State College Aiport to when I got home. I was supposed to be home at 3 pm and I returned at 8 pm. Unacceptable. I have not been on an on Time united flight in nearly 5 years.

Dinner was good, but the breakfast served in the morning was horrible.

Crew was friendly. Seats are too narrow, particularly when a big person is in the adjacent seat, but I understand this is due to smaller planes usually flight into Lincoln. I have experienced several flight delays going out and coming into Lincoln airport, I say maybe 50% or higher of the flights I've taken out of this airport have been delayed.

newer aircraft, ability to connect my headset via blue tooth for entertainment.

Great flight. Boarded efficiently. Arrived early at CLT. There was no in flight entertainment on this aircraft. Great crew.

The seat was comfortable. There was a lot of turbulence. If it weren't for that,it would have been okay.
