ICN-LHR. Surprise equipment change and flew on the new lie-flat beds. The challenge for Asiana is that the old and new
planes are completely different products and not worth the same price - eg. if you book a plane for the lie-flat beds and
then get the angled seats, it's like paying for a first class ticket, and then being downgraded to business with no
refund. The lie flat beds are quite similar to Swiss business class, and better than the Virgin/Air New Zealand seats -
particularly if you are travelling with a partner - since you can sit side by side, and chat. If you want more privacy
then there are configurations that put a big table in the way of the passengers to your sides. Asiana food is very high
class (better than BA/Air NZ) in the way it is presented and given. They weren't so forthcoming in providing water/wine
throughout the flight. AVOD is good for movies, but very weak for shorter programmes - such as comedy shows. The
interesting thing is that the table is fixed in height and position - but you can use your seat to move up and close -
rather than the other way around.

London to Osaka via Incheon, and back. Although a larger person could find the seats a little narrow, they are very
comfortable with a range of adjustments to find the right position, and there is plenty of legroom. They do not fold
completely flat, but enough to sleep comfortably, and pillow, blanket and other amenities are provided. The entertainment
was not on demand as far as I could work out, but offered a good choice of music and videos on a large individual screen.
The service was outstanding and food and drink excellent - only complaint was that there was too much food!

Rode in the Quadra Smartium seats both ways. Excellent lie flat seats. A little tight width wise, but very
comfortable.

SYD-ICN-LHR return. The pod seats are comfortable and I was able to sleep quite well, even though they are not fully
flat. On the return journey I slept sitting up due to an injury and surprisingly I slept well.

The new business class seats (lie flat) was the most perfect seat. One down side can be that the width of
the seats were a little narrow - however the seat length was excellent and the AVOD system was very nice.
The privacy was excellent as well.

I find it impossible to sleep in Asiana Airlines very narrow, uncomfortable business seat, I read my book
for the entire 12 hour flight. Champagne served throughout without me needing to ask for a top up and as
the entertainment system is so poor (video on loop and no rewind/pause available) that a good book is
essential. Inflight meal was poor this flight. The cabin service is second to none. I would love to fly
Asiana again in business, but only when they upgrade the terrible seats.

Used Asiana's new business class seat on a flight from Los Angeles to Seoul. The seat now converts to a
fully flat bed and is more of a "pod" configuration offering more privacy. This is great improvement on
the previous seat. The overall service was excellent as usual.

Angled Lie Flat seats (being phased out) are the most comfortable angled lie flat I've used, and are
good. But obviously would prefer full flat!

SFO-ICN, very nice Asiana lounge and seats were comfortable. I am not tall but the foot rest didn't go
up far enough for me so my legs were constantly sliding down or off the sides. Very disappointed in the
IFE, advertised as on-demand movies but the movies were on a continuous loop so they didn't start when
you wanted. On board meals were excellent and the service was wonderful.

These seats are now very out of date. When fully extended there are 5 different fold lines. The length is
good but the angle and the hardness makes them very uncomfortable. There is no massage option.

I am not that tall, however the headrest, that should have started from my neck, started from my
shoulder. So, the sitting position for take off and landing was not very comfortable. Once it was
possible to recline the seat a little bit, everything was good. The sleeping position is approximately
flat, but not horizontal. Quite decent though.

Disappointed with the lack of full flat" seats for sleeping. For this reason alone I would not use this
airline again.

Amazing lie flat seats. Duvet covers top and bottom with tuck in service. FAs are the most
courteous and conscientious I've encountered. Seats arranged to offer almost total privacy.
I'm 6'2 and seat length was completely adequate, even spacious. Everything new and fresh. Food
service nearly constant and excellent. FAs silently patrol cabin while everyone sleeps in case
one needs something. What First Class is supposed to be. Five stars all the way. Great
lounge in Incheon

SYD-ICN and ICN-LAX. 2-3-2 in business not great but quite happy with 3C to Incheon. On time
departure, very attentive crew and excellent catering make this an airline worthy of it's 5
star rating. ICN-LAX a B747-400. Requested and received upper deck seat, journey was quiet and
comfortable. IFE only just in the average range with inconsistent product and programming
between aircraft types. Overall excellent value for money and an airline to be recommended

SYD-ICN Business Class; ICN-JFK First Class. Business Class seats very comfortable, 2x2
configuration. Sufficient space, excellent VOD system, excellent service. First Class seats
are large individual pods - full lie flat seats. Amazing service and attention, extremely
comfortable in bed configuration, pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

LAX-ICN on 747 with new business class seats was very good. The seats are very good for
reading and relaxing. Good recline, good lighting, plenty of storage space. IFE
system/selection is also pretty decent, and food is non-stop and quite good. For sleeping,
the seat slopes flat at about 165 degrees, which allows some quality sleep but you will
notice the slope. All that said, this is far better than the current US carriers to Asia,
and I would recommend Asiana for flight to SE Asia.

Newly reconfigured cabin with 60" pitch individual lie-flat pods. 2x3x2 3 rows
on lower deck and 2x2 6 rows on upper deck. Touch screen AVOD with great
programming. Comfy but angled flat was unstable for sleep.

Seat 3K on Incheon-LHR in April 2008, on one of the company's 777's that does not offer VOD (on
the positive side the screen is large, almost as wide as the seat). I found the seat, which goes
to flat but not horizontal position to be relatively good for this type, with good foot-rest
adjustments, although the seat tends to 'reset itself' to a standard position when trying to
change certain adjustments. The service was excellent.

JFK-ICN Business class. Planes seats were angled lie flat seats, with a 12 inch screen. Separate
reading light & privacy screen was a few nice touches. With the well trained flight attendants,
the 14 hour long flight passed fast and was comfortable.

It was a new business class configuration. A lot better than the old types, but there was a
problem of sliding down occasionally.

Nice seat. Good pitch and width. Flat but angled but still much better than Asiana's ancient seats
in their 747s. Good screen size but IFE was not AVOD however significant choices.
