funniest thing I've read in a while (the quality of reporting is up to the usual standard I see as well)

Another article about privileged Korean journalists thinking that they should be treated like royalty.

Yes, Korean Air and Asiana may be extra nice to their Korean customers but that's because they realize that their Korean customers cannot think for themselves and need to be babied through every step of the way. Grow up Koreans!

All in all, it was the Korean reporters who made a mess of things, since everything started when they mistook their flight time.


Yes, it sure was. Grow up and behave yourselves properly - then you'll get more respect. Or just fly Korean Air, they might be willing to play mommy with you, but don't expect the rest of the world to baby you.

The author wrote "so to Koreans who are used to putting efficiency above all else." Koreans lecturing Germans on efficiency? That's rich.

"Why fly anything else?" (other than KAL or Asiana) 1. price 2. to avoid crashes caused by the pilots adhering to confucian ideals. The waitresses on Korean airlines are young and pleasant however.

All ten of them thought the time on their tickets was the boarding time instead of the time on their boarding passes. And these are foreign correspondents?

So the headline launches an accusation of racism, which is is immediately dismissed in the very first paragraph of the article, the rest of which is devoted to scolding an airline for not doing more to insulate a group of Koreans from the consequences of their own error?
