Trip Report: Asiana A350-900 Sydney to JFK via Seoul in Business Class (SYD-ICN-JFK)
A quiet, efficient, reasonably-priced option for getting back to New York from Sydney. It's a bit longer in the air, but a guaranteed lie-flat seat sure beats doing 14 hours in a United Premium Plus recliner to SFO followed by 6 crowded hours in Economy to NYC. pros good lounges Seoul airport has Toto Washlets in the lounges AND in the terminal very attentive service split boarding and deplaning (aka, separate jetways for Business and Economy) the A350 has decent wifi for $21 (full flight) transiting thru Seoul you can bring sealed duty free items (liquor) through transiting thru Seoul you don’t need a K-ETA visa like you do to enter Korea bathrooms have toothbrushes and lotions and mouthwash so you don’t have to open the amenity kit to get just one thing out of it seat is quite long when in flat mode espresso! cons no personal air vents ran out of korean style menu fairly limited liquor selection. and like who’s ordering Drambuie? neutral food was good, not great.
