In term of seat capacity : very crowed, very few seat left and very busy environment
Food offer : pretty basic not too much to eat
Drinks offer : basic liquor , wine and no champagne
Some pictures :



The business lounge is quite disappointing in term of offer and capacity.
The good thing is you can go to the First lounge for an extra 30 $ :
Asiana First Lounge

The food was very good for a flight of 3h30 and cheese plate was a surprise too.

Conclusion

Was my 1st flight with Asiana and had some high expectation :

The Business lounge in Incheon is quite disappointing but the first lounge for 30 $ usd is worth paying the extra.

The Asiana flight was smooth and food quite good, except some Tv problem, the comfort was good for a 3h30 flight long.

  • Interesting that you can access the first class lounge for $30. Are there restrictions, like business class tickets or elite Star Alliance members? Thanks for the report.

  • Thanks for the report Canadair2001. I agree with your assessment of the OZ J lounge. In my opinion the F lounge offers the amenities of an unremarkable J lounge. Those seats and IFE are due for an update too. Your meal looked quite nice. Happy flying.
