My seat was 19J which is located on the upper deck.
I choose my seat in advance through the Korean air mobile application.


Prestige class on the upper deck has extra room for storage which lower deck seat does not have.

Quite modern lounge but not that spacious.

They offer some snack, sandwich, fruits, and chinese food.
there also is noodle station but I can't take a photo because there was so crowded.



Boarding.

Very spacious and clean inside the plane.
my seat was 'prestige suite' which is the newest prestige class(business class) seat of KE.


All of KE's B747-8i and B787 and some of B77W and A330 have prestige suite seat.
If you take prestige class on B747-8i of KE, I recommend you to take on upper deck instead of lower deck.
Because Lower deck has 2-2-2 arrangment but upper deck has 2-2 arrangement.



Welcome juice and salted peanuts.
juice was quite thick. peanuts were good. I prefer these peanuts to the macadamia offered to first class passengers.

Nice big window in contrast of the A380's

Salmon and cheese salad is served.
salmon was a bit salty but it was very nice.

I chose korean dish.
mixed rice which is called bibimbop(비빔밥)was served with korean pepper paste, sesame oil and pickles.
bibimbop(비빔밥) was not that good. I should have ordered western or chinese dish.

Hagen-dazz and green tea were served as dessert.

My seat was a full flat seat so I lay and watched THOR movie during the flight.
there were so many latest movies I can choose.

  • I love the quality of the photos... Thanks for this FR. :-)

  • Hi Han_Son, thanks for sharing this new report on a rare aircraft. Very nice photos. I see you're already on your third report, which is great! SkyTeam lounges have great interior design. It's too bad sometimes they are a bit too small. It doesn't get better than being on the upper deck of the Queen of the Skies, especially with such a great seat and beautiful modern cabin. KE made a great decision by installing the APEX Suites as their new Business class--one of the best J seats out there! Some tips for your future reports--it is best to have the description of the photo above the picture on this site, and the site is better adapted to horizontal format pictures. Looking forward to future reports and again welcome to the site!
