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).

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.

This flight was a superior flight in all regards. Extremely pleasant experience.

Korean Air is unlike any other major airline I have flown with. The grace and respect that the staff has from check in to de-boarding is unmatched. The flight attendants this time were especially wonderful to my five little children. They helped us rearrange to more suitable seating, brought our children’s meals, and patiently waited for them in the aisles when they had to use the bathroom. We felt so welcome and comfortable. I really appreciate the meal voucher when our flight was delayed. I am grateful to have had such an stress-free experience.

It's good overall. Flight was packed. Inflight entertainment choices were lacking.

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 .

5 hour delay, therefore, middle of the night arrival doesn’t help.

The customer service was excellent. They noticed that our connecting flight was scheduled too closely for us to complete customs, so they changed the flight. Our initial flight was delayed, and they were able to get us on another flight, all without charging us any additional fees. I would fly them again anytime!

Better screens, it would have been nice to have more comfortable seats.

2nd major delay due to maintenance issues. 1st delay missed my connecting flight.

It was great, but my bag was not loaded onto the connecting flight. I'm currently getting it resolved. If this isn't a problem, everything else was excellent.

Very clean ,flight attendants very professional,nice , Boarding was very easy

The aircraft was massive (A-380) and became crowded with 400+ passengers on board.

My luggage didn’t arrive with my flight. Flight was delayed by nearly 2 hours while we sat on the plane and I almost missed my connecting flight and subsequently missed the last train from the airport so it took me another 2 hours to get to my destination after arriving, Crew skipped me several times when offering beverages, and I couldn’t get their attention at times because they wouldn’t even make eye contact with me. They didn’t give me a form for disembarking so I had to go to the back of the line after waiting an eternity for immigration. Paid for on flight wi- fi that didn’t work for most of the flight.

Love flying Asiana. Been using it for over a decade now.

Coming back to America was a peaceful flight everyone and everything was perfect

I had a bad experience coming from America to Thailand. On my connecting flight my check in suitcase was not put on the departing aircraft, I received my suitcase 24 hours after arriving in Bangkok and when I open my luggage my hand swelled up. The next morning when I put on an outfit from my suitcase my face swelled up and became numb. My entire vacation was ruined it seems that some kind of chemical was sprayed into suitcase and ruined my clothes and got me sick. The staff at my hotel called the airline and spoke to someone and they told me to file a complaint and gave my a website to do so. I did not file a complaint I felt like it would have fell on death ears. I had to throw away my brand new vacation clothes and suitcase and I had the worst vacation ever due to this happening to me.

There was no wifi available on this flight. And there were no screens, no onboard entertainment, no entertainment options at all. It was like travelling in the 1990s again, except without even a main screen for options. Seats, as usual, were tight and uncomfortable.

Good seat comfort ORF to ATL. Bad seat ATL to SEA (terrible lumbar support, hard, ouch)..

Because I was moved to an exit row, the snacks in economy comfort, the selection of snacks was better.

I upgraded to first. Quick and easy boarding. Comfortable seat with power and a nice IPA.

Probably not the fault of Delta but there was delay after delay after delay and I ended up getting home 4 hours later then I should have at 1:30 in the morning

My requested wheelchair never appeared. So many entertainment choices yet, I found little of interest and no internet option to search on my own. Both were minor issues.

No in flight service, no explanation - FC got service, C+ did not, unsure about Economy. No turbulence to speak of, so I guess another way to cut cost, or promote health and well being of Delta employees? Also, boarding in MEM combined zones, and with overhead space already full on both flights after Zone 2/ Diamond, presents a huge challenge to find a space for a bag. Delta, other than point A to B, is no longer reasonable to fly - very poor experiences, not even taking into account the chastising at the gate and rude crews, across the board.

It would have been better if the flight wasn't delayed by 2.5 hours

Delta’s staff is unmatched. From the gate agents, to the pilots, to the flight attendants… all top of the industry.

Delta flight Delay for ,more that two hours i.e original flight was 6.30 PM and it starts at 8.45 PM, When we connect Delta team for meal vouchers as it is late arrival in designation,But we did not get it as per delta policy , which is not good for mid night arrival,

Mean flight attendant. I wanted to reuse my plastic cup, but he (Matthew) said he can't for safety. I then said "I don't want water then" and he poured me a glass. I hope Matthew gets herpes and spends the rest of his life poor, lonely, and homeless.

Very good. Because of the delays with my previous flight, I missed my connection, but I was able to book another flight through the United app easily.

It was great. There were some issues prior to takeoff. The weather was poor so we had to go through deicing, and we were delayed a bit by the pilots' concern about one of the engines, but that's aviation. The pilots handled everything with aplomb, and kept us apprised

Reliable, nice crew, I fly often on that flight and I like it all.

I wish there were outlets to charge my iPhone. The crew was great; we had a female pilot who was great with explaining what was happening and delays,

The seats were comfortable and we had leg room. Great entertainment.

The flight crew where really good. Better then the crew from BNE to SFO

Delayed, toilets did not flush, pilot parked to far away from Gate

Was happy we finally got upgraded in 1st class. The seat getting old. The cushiness need some improvement.

Safe made to destination. Late to start at GVA for icy reasons but we fought our next fly.
