I am very disappointed today. We arrived 6 am today with a 12 hour waiting for connecting
flight to Toronto. our travel agent assured us that we will have hotel accomodation. Korean
Air is refusing to give us hotel voucher because we are not on the list to get one. It is
Sunday and cannot get hold of our travel agent. If it is an entitlement for those with 12 hour
waiting, how can Korean Air not able to do this whether our agent forgot to out it on the
ticket or advise Korean Air about it?

AMS-ICN-MEL. Due to weather delays in AMS, I missed the connection in ICN and was put up in a
hotel for one night. The ground staff were extremely well organised. Hyatt hotel was amazing
and the delay ended up being quite a nice experience. The flights were ok, mainly because only
selected flights on the A330 have personal entertainment systems (AMS-ICN-MEL not being one of
them). The food was just ok. There is really only one meal option, unless you want to eat the
traditional Korean meal. The regular snacks were nice and there was water and juice
available. The cabin staff were very pleasant.

ORD-ICN-CNX return Economy. ORD-ICN B747-400 poor leg room, there is plastic box in the area
of the seat in front of you which takes up a good 1/4 of the leg room. Pitch is small which
bothered me and I am not a big person. ORD-ICN had AVOD with OK selections. Food okay
bibimbap, and chicken rice. ICN-CNX A320-200 , no AVOD, same super salty chicken rice. ICN-
ORD decided to try the western selection on the menu for the meal - oh my, stay away from the
western selections! Crew friendly. Good service, average food, poor legroom, older planes.

Hong Kong to Atlanta via Seoul. The cabin attendants were nice, smart and hard working.
Service excellent. Snacks (pizza and peanuts) and beverages (soft drinks, juices etc) were
offered regularly. Meals great. Inflight entertainment fine, there were the latest Hollywood
movies and the multi-language music channels and some games.

LHR-ICN-LHR Economy. Swift check in and smooth boarding; seats reserved over the telephone
weeks before were honoured and were very spacious (B747 + B777). Crew very attentive and
worked hard throughout flights - regular drinks and snacks between main meals were also good.
Ticket cost slightly more than other carriers but flight is direct . Incheon airport lovely
and bags delivered before we even reached the carousel (same not true on return to Heathrow).
Will fly with them again.

GMP-ULS return in Y class. A very short flight but boarding was very efficient in both
directions and on return leg, they were very helpful when I wanted to change to an earlier
flight. Ground service was excellent. Too short a flight to judge cabin service but seemed OK.

LHR-ICN-AKL : outward I flew Economy class. ICN-AKL legs of the trip were in the older
aircraft, and no AVOD - had music anyway. Food fine on the outward journey. Although alcohol
is offered infrequently, requested drinks were served promptly. I was upgraded on return as I
broke my ankle in NZ, and Business class food and service was excellent. I had lots of help
from the airline and hotel staff.

Nagoya to Sydney via Seoul Incheon. Service was excellent except English skill. When I flew
from Nagoya to Seoul, it was B747-400 with equipped AVOD and new seats which were excellent.
Going to Sydney from Seoul, it was B777-200 without AVOD - poor. It was 9 hours flight and
kind boring. To be honest, Nagoya to Seoul by B747-400 isn't necessary - Korean Air should
increase number of flights with small aircraft. They should use B747 with AVOD to Sydney. I
need damn movies for that flight.

BNE-ICN-LHR Return. Flight attendants walking through cabin offering drinks, snacks, prompt
response to call bell. Bathrooms kept clean and stocked. Seating a bit cramped on BNE-ICN
flights and lack of AVOD and decent IFE made for two very long 10 hour flights. ICN-LHR
flights AVOD system much better, seat spacious. Meals good, preferred the western options
though.

LHR-ICN-AKL. First leg on 747 with AVOD, second leg an older 777 without AVOD. Flight
attendants friendly and professional. ICN-AKL there are few toilets, and some are designated
male/female only which further reduces the amount of available toilets. I was surprised at
the legroom, being 6'1" I was able to stretch right. I ordered the vegetarian meal which was
great as I got food before anyone else. When leaving from LHR or AKL, the vegetarian food was
nice - leaving from ICN, the food was unidentifiable to me and I didn't eat it. Stopover on
the return leg included a nice stay in the Hyatt Regency with free breakfast, dinner and
snack. Would fly with Korean Air again.

LHR-ICN-AKL both legs on 747-400s. Sector from LHR-ICN (and back) had the new style hard back
seats with AVOD. The plus side to this was the AVOD, downside was the hard back, as this
reduced leg room, and made it a tight squeeze for 12 hours. So much so that my legs were still
aching days later after I'd arrived in New Zealand. The AVOD was as good as any other 4 star
airlines I've flown (BA, QF, NZ, AA). The sector ICN-AKL (and back) was in the old style, soft
back seats with no AVOD. I noticed the lack of an AVOD as the movies playing on the overhead
screens were mostly Korean (with chinese subtitles). However the seat had (by my estimation)
much more leg room (their website claims the leg room is identical between both), and I was
far more comfortable in the old style seat. Food on all sectors was good, preferred the Korean
option to the western meal though. The cabin staff were friendly and a lot more visible than
on most airlines, offering juice/water once every 45 minutes. For the price they were very
good, the big let down being the lack of AVOD on the ICN-AKL-ICN flights and the tight squeeze
in the new AVOD fitted seats.

ICN-CDG. Excellent inflight with fantastic flight attendants who do regular drink runs
throughout the flight. Food was top notch for economy.

Seat for ICN-YVR economy was alright, but I realized after this flight that Korean Air is way
behind the superb Asiana Airlines in every way. Korean Air FAs seem helpful and courteous, but
are not as kind or attentive as Asiana Airlines. Korean Air food was alright, but not as good
as Asiana Airlines. New FA uniforms and planes do not make up for the lower standard of
service and food, in my opinion.
