ASIANA AIRLINES BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - SEOUL INCHEON AIRPORT

Review by : G Cassie

Date :   1 May 2009

We transferred through Incheon. On the inward journey we spent a few hours at the lounge in terminal 1 - on the return the lounge in terminal 2. While they are both decorated and laid out similarly, terminal 2 is newer. The shower rooms are a little nicer, the layout a littler more varied, and the business centre much bigger. While Seoul has a phenomenally spacious, efficient, and relatively pleasant airport, there is more shopping in terminal 1 than 2. I compared duty free prices though, and while there are savings on alcohol and tobacco, many cosmetics and clothing were exactly the same as mall prices in Canada. Some of the areas Asiana could improve would be the inordinate announcement of flights; there is no escape from the PA. The quiet relaxing area, is near the showers and bathrooms and cleaners area, so there is always a din. The food offerings varied, sometimes generous — roast pork, hot soup, vegetable salads — to scant, such as sandwiches, lettuce and dried noodles. Drink options not great not bad; no decent wine. Very pleasant staff.

Stunning facility. It's modeled to look like a comfortable manor library with shelves of books, attractive lighting and a baby grand piano! Several relaxation rooms with loungers. several more with state of the art massage chairs. A TV/DVD room with large flat panels. Catering includes Korean tea service with traditional snacks, cold bar with smoked salmon and duck, hot bar with lamb and lobster thermadore. I wish the inflight catering was this good!. Excellent drink selection with proper barware. Business center with three fast computers. Showers and toilets with state of the art Toto technology (a translation card here would have been helpful!).

This lounge is about as old as the airport itself, but is clean, well furnished and has a perfectly good range of facilities. Food and drinks choices are fine and the staff are helpful and efficient. A quiet oasis of comfort in an otherwise terrible airport.

Good location for the lounge in terms of access to boarding gates for Asiana flight to NYC. The staff at reception welcome in a friendly fashion, and directed me up in the lift to the First class lounge on the next floor. A bright and airy lounge with good views out over the airport / runway, and at the time of visit there was plenty of seating - quite comfortable as well. Being S Korea, there is great emphasis on the availability of internet stations, free wifi access in the lounge and useful business centre area. The lounge catering is a mix of open sandwiches (very nice!) usual nibbles, fridge full of ice cream choices, and a small buffet counter with hot food selections. Hot food not always that hot, but overall this is pretty good quality. Staff will normally serve you coffees etc and provide a full table service to look after you. TV with CNN and other news channels, and bathroom facilities located down the corridor. Shower rooms are very spacious and some of the biggest I have seen in an airline lounge with good choice of amenities supplied. The Asiana Airlines staff in the lounge were very courteous and efficient and spoke reasonably good English - much better than my Korean. All in all, a comfortable lounge that does the rest of their service justice.

Overall, clean and spacious. Great view to the runway and aircrafts taxing in and out. Comfy sofas with lots of reading material both in Korean and English.  Staff service is Asiana standard with sincere and true will to help. Plenty of internet PC's are provided free of charge or you could go for wireless which is just as fast as the wired one. The only glitch I felt was there are just way too many people and the staff were working desparately to keep up with service and stacking up food & beverage. I had trouble finding an empty seat and after I settled down, I had to wait for the foods to be filled up. It's either Asiana has too many frequent flyers or Star Alliance passengers since there is no way Asiana Business guests alone can fill this huge place up!

They've revamped the Lounge removing the computer area to create more space for people to sit. Food and beverages are average at best.

Agree with the previous post in as much as this lounge appears always to be busy - much more so than other lounges in the airport. However it's a comfortable lounge to spend an hour or so.
