Conclusion

This flight was just normal, due to the bad condition of the washroom.
On the other hand, most of the time the dimming function of the window is disable.
The plane was older than VT-ANA.

However, the meal was ok especially the curry chicken rice. The FA was nice and
greet before takeoff and after landing.

I would take AI if there are any special promote to Osaka or Seoul.

  • Shockingly maintained aircraft

  • main cabin of AI looks great, and legroom is so generous... just basing on the man having his legs crossed and occupying 2 windows for him self. However, lavatory is poorly maintained, with those tapes to keep pieces together and the "return to seat" sign, sorry, but really makes me laugh.

    • The legroom and the cabin of the plane was fine. However the washroom is poorly maintained, it also make me laugh with the "return to seat" sign.

      Btw, it is quite cheap for take AI to Seoul and Osaka from Hong Kong.

  • Why did you rate the airport poorly? Do you have a specific experience at ICN that made you feel this way? Based on your comments and photos the airport looks fine to me.

  • Because the waiting time for security check is quite long. Also, I need to take the train

    to my boarding gate. It is not user friendly at all.
