"Uncomfortable seat"

(United States)

Not Verified | Uncomfortable seat for long-haul flight. Tasteless food. Hard working flight attendants who try to provide good service. Seat cushion is very thin over hard board underneath. Very uncomfortable lean-in to window. Leg room is sufficient. Audio-visual on seatback is totally unengaging. Music very limited, mediocre sound quality. While the flight attendants were quick to respond and courteous, a very uncomfortable seat that became nearly unbearable after 4 hours (16 hour flight) made the trip unacceptable quality. Terrible food , tiny quantities and no dessert. I would not recommend economy.

"Seat was not cushioned well"

(United States)

Trip Verified | The back of the Boeing 747 has a lot of "yaw" in flight (side to side movement), which was uncomfortable. I don't think the middle sections of the cabin experienced this as much. Seat was not cushioned well and I was sore after a few hours. Inflight entertainment selection was lacking, and no free Wifi. OK legroom but not great. If you're in the middle seat, you have to wake somebody up to get out.

"seats are quite comfortable"

(France)

The Korean Air A380 economy class seats are not awesome, but not awful neither. Seat cannot be reclined that much in economy cabin, and you do not have a lot of space to put all your stuff. However, IFE has a power unit to charge you phone, and a remote control, which is nice. Seats are quite comfortable

"the seat was terrible"

(United States)

KE36 Airbus 380-800 Economy Seat 31A windows. Legroom for the seat was great but bottom cushion and back support needs to be changed. With 15 hours of flight time between ATL to ICN the seat was terrible. Same seat comfort as B747-400. B777 seat is slightly better comfortable. The plane got bigger but seats service restroom and aisle way designs stayed same.

"great wide seats"

(Argentina)

Great wide seats with lots of legroom. I was flying from Atlanta to Incheon 15 hours flight and I had no problem to sleep and was comfortable all the time. Good PTV screens and choice of entertainment. As well I would like to highlight the cleanliness of the plane and especially lavatories that were cleaned up all the time. Very nice stuff and decent food too.

"very wide with good recline"

(Hong Kong)

I flew from Washington to Incheon which was about 14 hours and 30 minutes. The legroom of economy class seat is very wide with good recline and it has large PTV and USB port for you to charge your smartphone. They still provide basic amenity kit but there is no more slipper socks or eye shades. The airlines allows you to turn on smartphones with flight mode for the entire duration of the flight which is good if you want to listen music or watch movies from your portable devices.

"seat width exceptionally good"

(China)

Legroom and seat width exceptionally good for 6 hour flights. AVOD screen the biggest I've seen in Y- class. We also (top tip) booked seats 58G/H. The seating reduces to 2x2x2 so you get a much wider area and no one bumping into you. 58A/C is equally good.

"impressed with the amount of legroom"

(United Kingdom)

I had a row of 3 to myself. I was impressed with the amount of legroom (I'm 6'5" so need all I can get) and seats were fairly comfy but as I was laying down most of the time I cannot really comment further. TV angle was a bit restricted though.
