Wow! Thank you for your video. I would have never thought a A380 would be 2-2-2. You just saved me a hastily purchased HKT-LAX in December. Korean Air is off my list for biz travel. Well done bud.
Korean Air also flies 747-8 with lie flat seats in Prestige Class. The seats are staggered and you actually have direct access to the aisle from the window. What plane are they using for their HKT-LAX route?
I'll be visiting Korea soon and will be on that style plane, but in the first 10 rows of prestige class. Thanks for the video. I haven't been to Korea since I was a baby.
Oh my goodness when you were walking across to the prestige lounge I didn’t see walkway initially and thought you were some how floating 😮lol goodness I need help lol amazing video by way!
If you have a credit card with rewards that will transfer to Korean Air’s Skypass, you should be able to use the miles to upgrade. However…June is peak season when many are traveling so it could be more difficult.
Kind of sucks if you are by the window; what if you have to use the bathroom and the person next to you has the seat on the “bed” configuration and is sleeping ?
Honestly, the A380 seating layout in Prestige Class is not ideal. Korean Air flies Boeing 747-8 and the Prestige Class in those planes give you much more privacy. Seats are staggered so you can have easy access to the aisle even from the window seat.
@@KeeDoVlogs Yes, very aware of the seating on other planes. I'm heading SFO-ICN-MNL in a few months on a KAL 777 and know the seating in Business is staggered. I'd say it's due to the age of their 380 fleet. Thank God they aren't using 380's out of SFO.
That blows away my hoped bucket list luxury 180° lie flat booking on this airline's A380 flights. That configuration is ghastly WTF! Not worth it at any price. Except! If a reward booking reveals the some seats without someone else next to me.
Korean air its over rated airline I dont think they are 5star their 380 cabin is very outdated still till today they dont have 1-2-1 the catering presentation its really poor Asiana its much better but the sad thing is they are going to merge with Korean so no more Asiana :(
I prefer their 747-8 Prestige Class seating layout over their A380 since you get direct aisle access from the window. Also I feel like the Prestige class seats are wider in 747-8 than in the A380
After the merger Korean Air will have no competition, so there is the fear their product might deteriorate since no other Korean airline will offer any competition. I am surprised this merger was approved by the Korean government
After watching this I think this airline As equal as Philippines airlines and not worth 5 star at all, overrated and look like the premium economy rather than calling business class
Are you sure about that because in some cases you will get the newer Rockwell Collins Serenity suites prestige class apex seats. Easy example for the comparison between the two are KE086 with KE621 JFK-MNL via ICN vs PR127 JFK-MNL.
flying KOREAN AIR from DULLAS WASHINGTON to KOREA....14hrs....did not know there was prestige class part of business ...nice to know
@@user-vs7nv8mo4e have a safe flight !

Great video. I could be wrong but the cheese plate looked like camembert, brie and a gorgonzola. Food looked good as well.
Thanks! You’re probably right. I only know American and Swiss 🧀 😂 lol
I Like Fly Out Of Incheon.Great Video
Thank you!

It’s my Osmo Pocket 3 helping keep the video smooooooth. Thanks for watching 😎
Nice video. I enjoyed watching. I also took the A380 of KE during the time it was going to CDG. It was in summer 2016.
Thanks!
Is there a way to get discounts on biz or first class? I’m flying to Seoul in june from lax. And I am 6’1. I hate to stay in economy

It is kind of annoying how the A380-800 seats are arranged. I’ve had to climb over them in the past lol.
@@KeeDoVlogs That’s why I always look at the seating map before I buy tickets….
Its time they replace those old style seats; the experience looks underwhelming when compared to Starlux; SQ; or Emirates.
Agreed. Not a fan of this seating layout.
Is this call premium economy? Bcos I used to sit with this chair on dragon air
This is Korean Air’s business class seat and they call it Prestige Class.
I am beyond stunned that Prestige Class on an A380 has zero privacy!!!! Those are like Business Class on a 727 or A330. That's embarrassing.

Back to Huntington Beach?
I’m back!

Omg me too!!! I have a condo there

Agreed. I redeemed my miles for this flight. The seating configuration is really not ideal unless you’re sitting next to friend or family.
having to jump across the person next to you for the aisle access is not ideal.
Agreed.Korean Air flies B747-8 from JFK to ICN which gives each Prestige Class seats direct access to the aisle. I much prefer that plane.

@@shihlin1 to me they are over rated airline and not 5star
You can wait the new a350-900 Korean Air will delivery on August 2024.They will upgrade cabin
they have pizza? wow.
Dont you think non-stop talking and taping is annoying and bothering to you neighbor
