BUSINESS CLASS : Angled lie-flat seats offered by Korean Air on long haul aircraft. Comfort levels are mid ranked
overall, with the usual slide-down feeling when the seat is fully reclined. Seat pod format does not provide much privacy,
and seat pitch means that window seat passengers have difficult access in/out of seat when adjacent aisle seat in full recline.
Score : 7/10
FIRST CLASS : The new First class flat-bed seats offer a good sleep comfort in full recline, although the seat cushions
are particularly firm, and we found a need for some mattress enhancer to be supplied. The seat pods have low privacy shields, and
whilst this makes for an open feeling to the cabin, the individual privacy levels were somewhat poor. Colour of the seats is personal
taste, but this KE First class is somewhat on the "bright" side, and not affording the more luxurious impression one expects in First Class.
Score : 8/10 |

SIN-BNE. Recline of seat in this ultra-competitive Asia-Pacific market very disappointing. Reminded
me of Biz class in the mid 90s. No personal video units. 3 screens located on front wall of cabin.
The single movie of the flight didn't start until about 3 hours into the flight, well after the meal
and duty-free service. Service relatively courteous but tended to look for what to take away rather
than what to provide. I also had to get up and ask for earplugs and eye masks. Short hops in this
setting wouldn't be a particular issue but this flight was long enough to consider several Asian and
Middle Eastern airlines flying from Singapore to the Australian market with angled-flat or 180
degree flat beds. The price was good but now I know why.

B747-400 Upper deck Business Class. The seat was a "pod" seat but seemed more comfortable with less
slant and tendency to slide down than some carriers. In-flight entertainment was VOD with many movie
choices. |

JFK to Incheon to Hong Kong return. Service was great overall. Eyemask was only given when asked for,
but slippers were placed at each seat pocket. JFK to Incheon seats were in a pod like shell, 2x3x2 arrangement.
The seats reclined all the way, but not completely horizontal. I kept sliding down on the bed and the cushions on the seats didn't do much for you.
I got a better sleep on my side. Blanket a nice size. The entertainment selection was fantastic. Incheon to Hong Kong
was ok. Seats were old school. Nothing fancy. But there was plenty of padding on the seats! |

Newish seats are okay, but they do not offer any privacy or proper cocoon. They are also
narrow, and in full flat bed position, the sleep surface has several uncomfortable
bumps. Very hard cushions, and worse of all, they do not offer proper pillows, and no duvets! |
