JFK-ICN-NRT return in Economy. FAs were very professional, courteous and friendly, and honored all requests. JFK-
ICN-JFK sectors were roughly 14hours, FAs kept walking around with beverages throughout the flight, call button was
answered in a matter of seconds. The seats on the 777 were very comfortable and recline was excellent. Food was
top-notch, steak in economy class. IFE was decent, although nothing spectacular. Cabin a bit warm, though I got
used to it. ICN was a pleasure to transfer. ICN-NRT-ICN sectors, same story, great staff, good food even for the
short flight and seats were comfortable as well. Definitely deserving a 5-Star rating.

On my trip to Seoul Incheon ICN from San Francisco SFO, service was impeccable. The seat pitch more than adequate
and flight attendants were extremely courteous and apologetic that my first choice meal was not available, but
quickly located it from business and I had two meals. The inflight entertainment system malfunctioned for several
hours, but cabin staff and pilot apologized. Upon landing, Asiana staff at ICN greeted us to Korea with $100
coupons per passenger with apology for IFE malfunction.

B777 LHR to Incheon and back on business. Aircraft clean but well used - needed to use an extra cushion on seat to
get comfortable. Entertainment systems on demand were okay but screen quality and choice a bit limited. Good
legroom. Staff and service were excellent - drinks service continuous, and the meal on the return flight was the
best of my trip.

ICN-LAX roundtrip in Y. Once you fly with one airline regularly over the years you would be well aware of what you
get onboard. Choice of in-flight catering is running out of variation and onboard entertainment has similar
problems. One thing I would not want changing is the service and warmth from the crew this airline has - always
eager to help you enjoy this 11+ hrs journey on a packed 747. This old Jumbo Jet is well maintained.

JFK to Seoul. Having made hundreds of flights over the last 30 years, I was reminded of what it was like when the
passenger really mattered. The gracious treatment by the attendants was excellent, they really seemed to care.
The plane's cabin was well maintained. The 3 meals above average and the continued passing out of beverages
during the flight was much appreciated. The attitude of the attendants made the 14 hr flight a memorable
experience.

Seoul to San Francisco on 777 aircraft. Almost everything from check-in to landing was excellent. My baggage was
tagged as priority due to the rather tight connection. My only criticism would be that the quality of food was not
what I remembered it to be as well as it being redundant with the tiring ssambbap and steak option. Overall Asiana
is still great value for money and my loyalty remains.

SGN to ICN. Departure time was moved on the day of the flight. Breakfast was awful and the Western menu ran
out. Audio systems on 777 not varied enough with only a few movies, no TV shows , no games, CNN not
available. Seat selection online not user friendly. However flight attendants are pleasant and seat pitch good.

Roundtrip from LAX to Ho Chi Minh City. Encountered strong headwind that made us late arriving into Korea.
Flight held in Korea until we could board for Saigon. Good flight that included the attendants leading us in exercises
while we were seated. Extremely good food, prompt service and thoughtfulness of attendants.

Hiroshima-Frankfurt via Incheon and onwards to Amsterdam via Lufthansa. Seat 2E on the Airbus to Incheon and
service was very good, bar the poor English language skills of the flight attendants. Seat 11J on the 747 Upper
Deck was only half full. Service was again very good and the only minus was the limited selection on the AVOD.

HND-GMP return. A330-300 both legs. Very friendly and professional flight attendants most of whom are
competent in 3 languages; Korean, Japanese and English. While there was no selection, a full hot meal was served
in Economy class. IFE had a wide range of selections for movies and audio programs, though flight time was too
short to see a complete movie. On GMP-HND leg, I was upgraded to Business Class. Again superb service, a full
Korean meal, and excellent flight attendants.

LAX-ICN-MNL-ICN-LAX. First time flying Business. LAX-ICN and ICN-LAX were in the Quadra Smartium lie-flat
seats. My wife and I were slept for most of the trip both ways. Service was five-star, food was excellent, and IFE
was more than sufficient. OZ lounge in ICN was quiet upon early morning arrival from LAX however little food was
initially set out. Waited 45 mins for a shower in the lounge. ICN-MNL-ICN was on the angled lie flat seat which
was fine for the shorter flight. Again service was of a very high standard. Would highly recommend Asiana in
business - great value for money.

ICN-SFO in Y Class. Ground staff at Incheon were efficient but ground staff at SFO were indifferent. Cabin crew
were very nice but their old plane (B777) need some update and upgrading- their Economy cabin is still not
upgraded as to the Business class. Food was above average for coach class, the seat was not as comfortable as
competitors. AVOD system has sufficient contents but still dated nonetheless.

HKG-ICN-HKG, A330-300 with AVOD. FA very friendly, I skipped the meal of outbound flight because of flight time and
they will put a sticker for me to ask for food at anytime. AVOD system is great with a touchscreen. The only issue
was the inbound flight which delayed for about 45mins, with no reason announced.

that Incheon airport is one of the best in the world.

SYD-ICN-SEA/FUK-ICN-SYD All sectors with Asiana Airlines in Travel (Economy) Class. Despite more direct routes,
I purposely booked to travel via Seoul so I could experience Asiana, and once again I wasn't let down! Experienced
new A330 product from SYD, very comfortable with great AVOD product. Catering on all legs was tasty, with the
Korean options (bibimbap/ssambap) especially delicious. Even on short flight from Fukuoka a nice snack was
offered. Cabin staff service efficient, friendly and proactive, made to feel welcome. Airport staff also professional
and energetic. Look forward to my next flight!

ICN-PVG roundtrip. Outbound B767. Spacious seats and okay pitch. Great hot meal for 80 min flight. Service was
outstanding. Inbound, a packed A320. Equally wide seats 18" wide) but somewhat narrow aisle. Again, great hot
meal was served without trouble. Flew through typhoon but the captain tried his best to avoid bumps. Great flight
with gracious crew.

Seoul-New York. I lost count of how many times the flights attendants came around
with water and juices on my flight. They made no fuss with meals and served me a meal
after I had slept through the meal service. Food was quite passable for economy class
(I had one western meal and one Korean meal), and served with metal cutlery. Beer and
wine was free of charge.

ICN-JFK roundtrip in Y class. B777-200ER with 3-class configuration was on both flights. The
seats are not slim, they had thick seat back. Although seats were comfortable, thick seat back
ate up some space. FA's were asking passengers to return the seat back upright at mealtime. For
those who choose to sleep were bothered by this especially at the second meal service as one
passenger was complaining about waking him up. Both flights were full but the service was
flawless except for the mealtime wake-ups. Inflight entertainment system improved a lot in
terms of contents. Overall, great experience but surprised by not adapting space efficient slim
seats as other airlines or even its own 747 fleet. Asiana Airlines 747's are equipped with slim
seats and 10.6" AVOD.

I really like the experience I had with 2 trips recently on Asiana's aircraft. The first one
was SEA to ICN on an A330 and the second one ICN to HAN on a B767. Both airplanes are nice,
although the 767 is kind OF old (I think they are phasing their 767s out). The legroom is super
good, it is much wider then most airlines I have flown. The food is good and the service is
super nice.

was useful and easy to follow. The flight wasn't expensive so all-in-all great value for money.

LAX-ICN-TAS-ICN-SFO. Outbound economy, return in business. Travelling with an infant on this
route is difficult, but Asiana made it much easier with attentive service, good food for the
baby, bassinets, and good food for us. IFE excellent with programming on demand. First time
going to TAS that we did not have to use a bus to get to the terminal. We had to gate check
our stroller, but at the Tashkent airport you need to pick it up at the baggage claim so we had
to carry our baby until then, which if you are familiar with the speed (or lack thereof) of the
customs officials at TAS, you know that it is not a small feat. The return was nice in
business, but even though we gate checked the stroller at TAS and told them we needed it at
ICN, they sent it through to the baggage claim. Luckily the ICN staff were wonderful and
retrieved it for us quickly. Return was in the new Quadra business lie-flat seats which were
comfortable for us but I can see how they might be too narrow for people with a larger build.
Also, strangely enough, the business class bassinets are more narrow compared to the economy
class ones. Nice amenity kit with L'Occitane products, excellent food and service. I had the
Korean options for all meals, and I highly recommend it.

One of the best in-the-air services I've been provided with. I asked the flight attendant for
an extra sheet of blanket and she brought me back the blanket and a chocolate - apologizing
for her late return, when all she took was 5 minutes. The short flight from Korea to Japan had
meals offered (unlike some other airlines I've taken) and it was delicious. Flight crew was
very kind and helpful.

SYD-ICN with my elderly mother, and I was very anxious and worried about our trip especially
due to my mother's disabilities. At check-in after I explained my mother's situation, the
staff gave us the front seats to cater for my mother's leg issues. The flight
attendants were
very attentive and understanding and language was no issue. Throughout the entire flight (10hours)
my mother and I were cared for so diligently. The flight attendants would check on us regularly and
ask if we required anything. Their smiles were a great addition to the journey. I can never be so
grateful of the amount of care my mother and I received. I also noticed how well groomed they were
which reflects their service and their carrier in general. I highly commend and thank Asiana Airlines
and recommend it to anyone who seeks a comfortable and memorable journey.

FRA-ICN a reward redemption in business class - they moved us to the First class cabin, the
service was for business class. The staff was really nice during the service.
IFE not too much of a selection. Seats (747) are in need of refurbishment and not that
comfortable to sleep. A positive, the amount of space available. Staff at ICN transfer desk
rather unhelpful. Overall, good service but my expectations were set much higher.

Asiana is deserving it's 5 star rating. BKK to SFO with stop in ICN. Both flights on
schedule with plenty of announcements. Great entertainment choices. Cabins on both flights a
bit warm for my liking (especially when trying to sleep). Food, I thought, a bit down from
previous flights, though above the competition. What truly stands out is the service - crew
smiling and visible throughout the flights.

Sydney to London on Asiana. My second trip to Europe with them. Fabulous service from check
in to arrival. Very personal and genuine greetings. Flight attendants visible in cabin all
through the flights. Comfortable seating, good meals and inflight entertainment. The transit
desk in Seoul takes some finding but once contacted provided faultless overnight arrangements
on both occasions. In my experience their excellent reputation is well deserved.

Flew economy return with Asiana Airlines from Sydney to London with a stopover in Seoul. My
family, including a 6 and 8 year old were more than impressed. The cabin staff were
attentive, friendly and smiling. Food and drink very good, my children were served first as
this gave my husband and I enough time to assist with their meals before ours arrived. The
children were kept entertained with the AVOD. The overnight stopover was great and fuss-free.
We made our way to the Asiana desk at the airport and were ushered into a van and taken to our
hotel for the night with vouchers for dinner, breakfast and lunch.

SIN-ICN. Reading the reviews made me feel comforted to know that Asiana is a 5-star airline.
And indeed, live up to the name. Staff were all friendly, ground and in the cabin, especially
having a 5-year-old cousin tagging around with an elderly in hand. Service was amazing, and
the FAs were undeterred by the language barrier and constantly gave a smile. Food was pretty
good, choice of drinks were small. IFE wasn't all that bad, a wide choice of movies and songs.
Seats were pretty hard, but caught some sleep on the outward trip. Overall a memorable flight
experience, definitely comparable to Singapore Airlines which I strongly support.

Hiroshima- Incheon-LHR. We got one Business and one economy ticket as we were flying with our
6 month old so we could swap and get some rest. Getting a basinet was no problem, and
facilities were great. Lounge in Hiroshima limited, but not surprising for a small airport.
It was nice to see proper business class seats on the A321 (rather than 3 economy seats with
middle not used, as in Europe). Staff extremely friendly, available when needed and making a
fuss of our son. Couldn’t have been more helpful. Transfer at Incheon after the short flight
was very quick, though staff were rude at passport and baggage check (not easy rushing through
when you have a kid and all the baggage). Lovely business lounge, and there was a nice large
baby changing and separate play area. To Heathrow, service was fantastic, always someone on
hand, and great food. Likewise staff remembered what you were drinking, though always other
options. Again our son was looked after well, and staff were always keeping me smiling after
about 100 laps of the plane when he wouldn’t sleep! AVOD and plane were a bit dated though –
it’s been a while since I haven’t had on demand. Didn’t sleep so well as seats were a bit
uncomfy in recline and engine noise seemed pretty loud on the 777-200. Obviously they are
rolling out a new business cabin, and looks like there are some A380’s on order now. I look
forward to seeing that product. I’d give service 10, but cabin and entertainment 6–7.

October 2010 flew Heathrow to Hiroshima via Incheon , as Group Organiser and leader of 11
people (elderly British ex-servicemen who had served in the Kure City area of Japan at
sometime between late 1945 to 1956, and wives). For our previous 11 such annual visits I had
always used an alternative direct flight to Tokyo with a different airline. I found Asiana to
be far superior in all respects, with the possible exception of the on-board entertainment.
The seating space, food, drinks were excellent as were the flight attendants and booking and
transit arrangements. I am now organising a further tour for November 2011 and have had no
hesitation in requesting Asiana as my preferred airline.

a native English speaker FA, she was fantastic and made sure we were comfortable all flight. I
found the service even in economy to be top notch and the experience overall more then met my
expectations.

JFK-ICN-CEB in Business. JFK-ICN in a 3-class 777 with angled lie flat seats. Swiss Lounge in
JFK disappointing, but everything onwards was perfect. Onboard was served a great 7 course
meal, then slept (seats better then most angled lie flat I've used). A further meal before
landing. Impeccable service, amazing food. Lounge in ICN is excellent, gave me a pager to
advise when the showers were free, and had a great shower with many toiletries included. ICN-
CEB very good, crew introduced themselves after boarding. Another good meal.

LHR-ICN. Excellent service from check-in to landing. Seating, food and service very good.
slight complaint the inflight entertainment was not on-demand but on a loop with no idea when
the films were to start. ICN-SYD very good with exception of entertainment as first flight.
Return journey a repeat of the outward journey with exception of overnight stay in Seoul. This
was part of the ticket and paid for by Asiana. Excellent 5-star hotel , although it is a one
hour transfer time to Seoul. The management of the transfers was excellent and very smooth. I
would thoroughly recommend Asiana Airlines based on my experience of the return trip to
Sydney.

London - Saipan via Seoul. The food and the crew were outstanding. The space in the Economy
seats is the best I have had in a long haul cabin and got some sleep. The inflight
entertainment was disappointing - no video on demand on either of the long haul flights and
only a main cabin screen Seoul - Saipan flights. There was a message on the looping system
saying how long the films had been running for so you had to try and judge when the next batch
would start. I was very glad that I had heard of the poor entertainment system before I left,
so I loaded up my laptop and smartphone with movies and TV shows. If there was guaranteed AVOD
on the LHR-ICN route, this would be a no brainer - but this lets down the rest of the Asiana
product so badly. Seat, food and service definitely 5-Star but entertainment system gets a
3-Star from me. Asiana nearly get top spot but unfortunately having flown Qatar Airways, they
win with their IFE.

Return business class flight with Asiana Airlines Heathrow - Sydney via Seoul. Not usually a
business class traveller but due to distance etc thought we'd spoil ourselves. Have to say
what a professional, efficient outfit Asiana run. Inflight service was brilliant, a joy to see
cabin crew happy in their work. Nothing was too much trouble. Business class connoisseurs may
comment that you don't have a flat bed (on these routes) but the fully adjustable reclining
seat didn't disappoint and was found to be very comfortable. Inflight entertainment could be
updated (which I'm sure it will be) but was more than adequate for our requirements. Menu was
quite extensive which should cater for most tastes, if not sandwiches/snacks and drinks were
available all flight. The stopover in Seoul on return flight to Heathrow was not a problem
although the journey into Seoul took some time in heavy Friday night traffic but then what's
new. No complaint about the hotel booked by Asiana. All in all a very pleasurable experience
at a sensible cost.
