ICN to ULN business class. The plane was a newer B737-800 which appeared to be in good shape.
The seats were comfortable, good food and very attentive FA's. Check in at ICN was relatively
easy and ULN also fine. Why can't American carriers come anywhere near the level of service
and civility found on Asian carriers?

ULN to ICN on B737-800. On the plane the service is fantastic. Comfortable seats, good meal,
attentive FA's, modern and clean plane. Seats 1A and 1B have tons of leg room. Checking in at
ULN is another story. Complete chaos. No questions about where you want to sit. Unable to
check back through to the US, so had to exit the terminal at ICN, pick up bag at ICN, then
recheck in on flight to US. Boarding chaotic because of multiple planes leaving from the same
gate. I wasn't sure I was on the right plane till I actually saw us landing in ICN.

Several flights with MIAT on the routes TXL-ULN-TXL and PEK-ULN-PEK. Service is always good.
Flights are most of the times on time (experienced only one delay in PEK due to bad weather
conditions). Planes are ok. The Airbus 310 is getting older but performs good and is more
comfortable than many of the newer planes. All in all, I would choose MIAT over AirChina or
Aeroflot also due to the fact that they have "almost direct" flights from TXL to ULN. Prices
could get a bit lower though, especially in the Summer season tickets can get quite expensive.

Many times was flying with Mongolian Airlines on route ULN-PEK-ULN. The fleet is aging
especially A310-300. But the service, food is fine.

I got stuck in ICN for 12 hours. The delay was weather related (not MIAT fault), but the airline
failed to inform us what was going on. While traveling on the pricier "Business" class, I ended up
spending the night sleeping in the airport terminal. Airline would not even issue meal vouchers
(then again, everything shuts down at Incheon after 900 pm) or statements of what was going on.
Finally the flight took off at 500 am. Meals are OK. If I had to choose between Korean Air and MIAT,
I would stick to MIAT - they will take off no matter what (unlike Korean).

Seoul - UB round trip. Flight out okay, bumped to business class. Attentive staff. Food good. Plane
clearly very old -- ashtrays, old dial-type volume and channel controls, video unwatchable. Return
trip, flight delayed 13+ hours because of a broken window. We had to wait for another plane. They did
provide a bus to take us back downtown so we could sightsee, picked us up again. Stored our bulky
luggage for us. So for a struggling airline, they're trying to keep the customers happy but don't have
much of a fleet yet to work with.

Seoul to Ulaanbataar Business Class - a short 3 hour flight. The crew were attentive. The meal was
excellent, but the aircraft they used seems to be aging a bit. The seats are below standard for
business class compared to other airliners. The inflight entertainment was also outdated.

Economy from Berlin-Tegel to Ulaanbataar and back and Ulaanbataar to Irkutsk. All flights on time.
Good service, especially from Berlin to Ulanbataar and back with a modern A 310-300. But even the
flight to Irkutsk with an old Antonov An 26 was quite comfortable. Very quick check-in in UB!

I am amazed to hear everyone commenting on flights leaving on time. In
four years I have never been on a MIAT flight to or from Mongolia that
has left on time. Time delays range from 20 minutes to 20 hours and
have tended to lean towards an hour or so. I always allow a good delay
for my connecting flights on the other end and more than once I have had
to reschedule those flights anyway. Admittedly the service, food and
aircraft are improving in recent years, but I still don't count on "on-
time" departures.

Beijing to UB many times on MIAT Mongolian. The flights were, fine food
was good and they were on time. The equal to or better than Air China.

I recently flew with MIAT from Berlin Tegel (TXL) to Ulaanbaator (ULN)
and then the return leg with a transfer in Moscow (SVO). Outbound
flight (Thursday) was only a third full so there plenty of room to
spread out, however inbound flight (Sunday) was full. Flights were on
time, aircraft clean, cabin crew polite, food above average and service
good. In-flight magazine was excellent - interesting and informative
articles. Landings were very unsteady! Leave plenty of time for check-
in though.

There is, from my experience a huge difference between C and Y class on MIAT and believe me, the
difference is well worth it, if you enjoy getting truly "Royal" treatment, this is the way to do it.
For sure in "Y" class you get treated like cattle in a feedlot.

MIAT from Incheon to UB (an return) in mid-September on a weekday. Good service flying a modern
and clean 737-400. Departures and Arrivals were on time. I was seated in the economy section.
Seating was rather close and the flights were full. I was especially impress with the in flight
magazine; very good articles, informative and well written. Good food service. the landing approach
to UB was a bit unsteady, not due to weather, rather (I suspect) that a manual approach was flown
due to lower quality of ILS. Arrival was late night in clear weather. Runways are quite narrow (wing
tips extend over the edges!). None the less, I felt safe with this a/c and crew.

MIAT Business Class back in September 2003: Beijing to ULN, then ULN to Narita - Tokyo. While
flight options to and from ULN are limited to a handful of airlines, MIAT flys a brand new 737-800
with clean seats, simple but good food, friendly F/As and was on-time.

I have not seen any reviews to date for MIAT Mongolian Airlines, who I think provide an excellent
connection from Western Europe (Berlin) to Ulaanbaatar. My colleagues and I have used them several
times over the past three years - they fly an Airbus 310 twice weekly from TXL to ULN via SVO.
Business Class seating is 2-3-2, legroom OK, food and drink good, service very friendly and
attentive. We've looked at various flight options and this one gets our preference almost every time
