Welcome to this trip-report reviewing Korean Air A330-300. I was going on a business trip to Seoul and I chose Korean Air.
My trip
Korean Air Shanghai Pudong - Seoul Incheon B777-300 Economy link
Korean Air Seoul Incheon - Shanghai Pudong A330-300 Economy You are hear
Korean Air has 21 A330-300 in the fleet has 2 versions of the configurations. Both have 6 First class seats and 18 business class seats. I am not quite sure which configuration my aircraft is.
My journey started with me checking-in at the city airport terminal. The city airport terminal allows passengers to check -in at a separate building located from away from the actual terminal. This is ao convenient in my opinion as it reduces the time at the airport. Sometimes the check-in line and immigration are really long at the airport. This features raises my points of convenience and services.
I went back to my hotel , had breakfast and then I took the airport shuttle from the city to the airport
The beautiful terminal from outside
The check-in terminal with the ridiculous high ceilings which gave an open feeling

The departure board for today . It seems that the flight has a code share agreement with China Southern,China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines.
I had done my immigration at the city terminal and therefore there was a small line for city passengers at the airport. The line was not that big
Some unique birds that I ran into.
