Will be flying on Korean Airlines (KAL) end of Jan. Seattle-Seoul-Phuket. Has anyone had experience on this airline? I have read some good things about them, but no one I know has flown KAL. Just wondering if anyone here has any comments to add. (that could open a real can of worms!!

)

They seem to have new planes, good service etc. but that is from their website, so who knows,,,,,,,

Thanks in advance

I have flown KAL 3 times JFK-ICN-BKK, but only in 1st, so my comments outside of that is limited to the personal service that I noticed irrespective of class. I found it to be better than average.

Thanks for the input,, I will post my thoughts after my flights and perhaps give some insight to others for future flights on KAL

Thanks again,,

i have made 62 flights to and from Thailand from the US. on Korean Airlines. The service has been great and the flights almost always on time. The meals are good and now the 747-400s have seat back DVDs, which make the 14 hour flights to Seoul seem shorter.

A friend i work with flys a lot to Seoul because he has a Korean girlfriend. He swears by them. Won't use anyone else.

That might make you the resident expert on Korean Airlines

. As I mentioned in my post I would also recommend KAL.
More importantly with (I guess) 31 trips to Thailand you must have a wealth of knowledge and experience. Hopefully you get some opportunities to share them.

I know someone that flew it and didn't like it. also mentioned the Korean passengers were all stealing the cutlery.
