"No meals, no inflight entertainment"

(Thailand)

Trip Verified | Clean plane, but no water served for a 6 hour flight. No meals, no inflight entertainment. Seats have USB charging which is good, but even for a budget airline, i would expect a bottle of water and maybe a snack. I won't be in a rush to fly with Air Busan any time soon. Check in staff seemed to be unsure about visa requirements and kept me waiting for a long time (longest check in I have experienced).

"totally indifferent crew"

(Thailand)

Trip Verified | Clean plane, totally indifferent crew, but what is absolutely amazing is that, on such a long flight, the flight attendants did not distribute a single drop of water to passengers, except to those will to pay for overpriced items; not even the cheapest low cost airline(and this was not a low cost) would do better.

"closed the counter 90 min prior"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Seoul to Kuala Lumpur. When we arrived at the airport 90 min before departure time, the counter was empty. Nobody up there and the automatic check-in was disabled. After walking all over to find their offices, we were greeted by an employee who told us they closed the counter 90 min prior to flight as a company policy. There was no effort on her part to open the door or offering any alternatives. I dislike that attitude in any kind of service.

"Great value budget airline"

(Japan)

Trip Verified | Osaka to Busan. Great value budget airline. Web site and on-board magazine promise free water but none was offered. Check-in at KIX was about 20 minutes, check-in at PUS was zero with no other customers in sight. Offered decent seats even though we hadn't pre-booked them. Outward flight was delayed due to 'air traffic control restrictions' at KIX but landed on time due to timetable padding. Return flight left early but landed slightly late after circling around western Japan for ages. Boarding on both flights smooth. Bus to terminal at PUS, but sky bridge on return flight. Perfectly adequate and reasonably efficient for a budget airline and a one-hour flight. Would use again.

"efficient and excellent"

(Singapore)

Trip Verified | My family flew to Daegu from Gimpo. From check-in to boarding, service rendered by all staff were efficient and excellent. Cabin was clean and seats were usual economy class comfy. On our return flight from Daegu to Gimpo, we were late due to traffic and could not check-in thru self serve kiosk. We had barely 15 mins prior to flight departure. Approached counter staff for assistance. First thing the staff did was radioed the Captain while processing the checking in and printing of boarding passes. An agent came over to escort and assisted us throughout the procedure to ensure we boarded the plane without further delay. All these were completed within 15 mins and flight departed on time. Our biggest compliment is towards the Captain for both flights. Journey was smooth and landing was perfect which you dont even feel the plane has landed. Flew with many major top 10 airlines in the world but never had this landing experience ever before. Cabin Crew rating, great and comparable to top airlines! Keep it up and will definitely choose and fly Air Busan on all my destinations where served by Air Busan.

"was a disaster"

(New Zealand)

Verified Review | Today in morning when we were coming Jeju to Busan, it was 10 minutes late, which is acceptable. But after this when all the passengers were in plane and it start to run, they stopped. We were informed that there is an issue and pilot will take plane back. We were kept waiting another few minutes and cabin manager announce that they are looking into it and will give further notice. Crew members were serving water and juice. Further notice kept happening for next two hours and plane finally moved at 12:35 pm, instead of 10:30 am. It was my first time to fly with Air Busan to Jeju, which was a disaster.

"they don't have aerobridge"

(Singapore)

Flew Air Busan from Jeju to Busan. No delays - my experience of taking budget airlines gives me an impression that they will surely delay. They served orange juice that was quite nice onboard. Smooth landing at Busan. I slept on board. But they don't have aerobridge like Korean Air, Asiana Airlines or Jeju air.

"customer service appears to be top "

(Australia)

We were in Jeju flying to Busan then connecting to Gimpo. I noticed our flight was delayed and we may miss the connection. I queried this with ground staff. Within 16 minutes our flights were changed (at no cost), 4 people's luggage located, dragged across the airport, by tiny female ground staff, identified and reloaded then we were seated in row 1 of the airline and off to Gimpo. Totally amazing. I am still astounded that this happened. Plus a refund on our original flight. Congratulations Air Busan. If I could I would fly this airline regularly - customer service appears to be top of their list.

"check-in staff were incredible"

(Australia)

We highly recommend the staff at Jeju airport. We were booked Jeju to Busan, Busan to Gimpo. Our flight from Jeju was delayed and we would have missed our connection in Busan. The check-in staff were incredible when we queried if they could assist us, they changed our bookings to a direct flight with only 15 minutes to do this. 2 lasses retrieved our luggage (for 4 people, not light) from the original flight, hauled it to the check in desk so we could confirm they had our luggage & all correct, then down onto the tarmac into the plane. This was all completed within approximately 15minutes. It was brilliant of the staff. They were crediting us with the change flight we had incurred earlier and missed the button - it become a payment, - this was not an issue for us, it was only $37.00 Australian and the service those girls gave us was quite unbelievable. Flight was good too.
