|
|
Does anyone have any experience with Asiana Airlines?
I'm flying my boyfriend in in two weeks, and we need to buy his ticket. Korean Air is about $50 more and at less convenient times, but Asiana is at better times and cheaper, so if that airline is fine, we'd prefer that one. I just think I remember hearing something bad about them, but I could be mistaken. |

On Asiana, the flight attendants are prettier (ane their planes are a different colour). |

| I can't really compare to Korean Air but my flight on Asiana in 2005 was good. I also agree that the flight attendents are attractive. I wish NorthWest had the same seats where the headrests can fold out those wings for sleeping. |

| Their website for foreigners living in Korea is pretty much useless (unless they've overhauled it recently, i.e couldn't use a foreign credit card to book tickets etc) but their in-flight service was fine. No problems at all. |

| all in all, asiana's better than korean air. there's not a massive difference though, and u do get a pretty good bibimbab on korean air, and they have those funny scarves that make them look like there's a horizontal wind eternally following them around. |

Is there a different site for *non-Koreans*? He will be booking the flight in the US. |

Pretty sure they code share with Korean air on some flights as well.
You may well end up on a Korean air flight anyway |
