Korean Air

Pros: Surprisingly good service, decent food in coach, nice amenities, even in coach
Cons: Beware of kim-chi in the main cabin, coach can be very cramped

We flew with Korean Air to Honolulu, Singapore and Bangkok. I would not likely have chosen this airline, had it not been that my travel agent happened to have a friend with the airline who was able to arrange inexpensive tickets for us. Getting to...

Pros: The service, the stewardesses, the entertainment, the overall great treatment.
Cons: Long flights, but who cares when pampered so well?

Korean Airlines: A five-star Airline that treats you to First Class Service. By James P. Zaworski I am currently in the middle of my big adventure to China, and I felt compelled to write about the airline that got me here in the first place. I ...

Pros: Inexpensive fare, professional staff, pretty good meal service
Cons: No bottled water given, seaweed soup ran out of diet coke

This past December 2002 my 17 year old daughter and I flew as part of a 16 member delegation of the International Relations Council, Riverside CA. The purpose of our trip was to celebrate the 45 year anniversary sister city program between Riverside and...

Pros: Great Service, Great Korean food (mmm bibibap...)
Cons: Safety issues

Pretext: I wrote a review about KAL a few months ago which was done in a few keystrokes without real info in it. So before I start, I just like to apologize for it and that you read my revamped review. KAL has had ups and downs. From crashes, to ...

Pros: Great customer service, excellent price
Cons: Some language barriers for non-Korean speakers, stop-overs too long

The first time I flew Korean Air was not of my own doings, and because of the Olympic Games being held in Sydney, didn't have much choice in flights....that, and my mom a world away was booking my ticket.

The second time, I did choose...

Pros: good food, excellent in-flight service, tickets are usually very inexpensive
Cons: check-in may take a while, no personal televisions in Economy

People advised me against flying Korean Air before I stepped on the plane for the first time. I was given images of 747s crashing in flames onto the ground or into the sea. Thankfully, they remained images and didn't translate into reality. The...

Pros: Good crew, good aircrafts, and good service.
Cons: Bit disorganized, and some minor communication problems.

LAX to ICN & ICN to BOM (End of May, 2009)Check In: The check in was easy. We were a group of 6, including a 90 years old senior citizen. Despite the large amount of passengers in our group, the employee at the counter was very nice, and calm ...

Pros: Service, Entertainment, Communication, Food...what else? Everything!
Cons: Nothing enough to call a con. I've never had an incident with them.

I've been a devoted Korean Airline go-er for almost two decades now. My first ever memory of having been on a plane has also been on the Korean Airline and I honestly don't recall any horrifying incidents that made me even consider switching to other airl ...

Pros: Attractively dressed stewardesses
Cons: Poor service, lack of generous services onboard, no entertainment system, no mid flight snacks,

Korean Air needs much improvement in service. They have beautifully costumned stewardesses but you get the feeling they invest all their money in their close and often mysterious advertisement and not on the actual service. I travel frequently and long ...

Pros: Cheap, comfortable, good service
Cons: No individual video screen on older 747

I recently flew business class on Korean Air from Asia to the United States. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and service on the flight. It was also the cheapest choice.

I've been traveling to southeast Asia regularly for over ten...

Pros: Multilingual, Great food
Cons: Takes 24 hrs from JFK to Bali

In March 1998 I had the pleasure to fly Korean Air from JFK airport in New York City to Bali, Indonesia. I chose Korean Air because there was a special price - only $995 round trip.

The flight was pretty good. I remember watching a James Bond...

Pros: helpful staff and flight attendants
Cons: none

I took Korean Air flight #24 from San Francisco to Seoul this week and it was an amazing flight. I flew to Korea to start a job in South Korea. I was concerned about how much luggage I could bring with me. I was also concerned about dealing with...

Pros: Good service, food is edible
Cons: Non-existent smoking section

It was the summer of '97 and I was returning to the United States. I was flying Korean Air, which I'd generally regarded rather favorably. I've always thought Asian airlines have much more attention to customer service (especially once in the air)...

Pros: Friendly and clean service
Cons: Bad radio service

I have used Korean Air for at least five times at this point. Every time it is a great pleasure and comforting experience.

Despite the fact that I always sit at the Coach, the service is unbelievable. The sits are a little crammed at times,...

Pros: Inexpensive fare
Cons: Poor safety reputation

This airline has received much bad press. Although popular with some independent travelers for its low fare, it is generally held in suspicion by most travelers. It should be. It is a poorly run airline with seriously damaged reputation.

It...
