Correct; correct; correct; and, um, correct.

Looks like SingAir is the worst kept secret on here. Dammit, people, you're going to spark a stampede! Now, let's try spreading a bit of disinformation to distract the mob...

Korean Air -- hazzaaah! Try before you die, you'll never have a chance to regret it!

Uh, Korean Air kicks ass - what's the problem exactly, especially when compared to (the) obese N-A airlines?

Reasons for flying on a Korean airline:


10. Free Korean lessons all the way home.
9. You can play with cute Korean children in the aisles.
If you're lucky they may be in the seats right next to you.
8. Interesting discussions on dynamic Korea, Dokdo, Korea firsts, etc.
7. English lessons. All that teaching exp. really pays off and you can use it to help just a few more souls.
6. If your Korean's good enough you can listen in on some interesting ajoshi stories.
5. Fascinating World Cup highlights on the big screen. Korea Fighting!!!
4. Soju? Not sure about this one. If so, Assaahh!!!
3. Smoking in the lavatories.
2. Super quick exit from the aircraft.

And, the number 1 reason for flying on a Korean airline is:

1. All the kimchi you can eat. You don't have to try to sneak any on board.

Happy trails!!!

I took AA a few times - their schedule suited my needs, but really not the most impressive.

cramped seating

a bun-wich for dinner?????????????????

non-English speaking attendents;
outwards
Sir, would you like a drink
Yes, a soft-drink, please
OB?
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

inwards
Sir, would you like a drink
Yes, a Heineken, please
................puzzled look...........
Heineken, please
................more puzzled look
the GREEN one (pointing)
Oh!, a HEN-E-KIN

Attendents who have a perm pasted smile - like a Stepford wife gone insane

Check-in staff who are screwed;
Window seat near the front please
sorry sir, only aisle seats
Upon boarding, plenty of window seats were vacant


Attendents who SING requests, "Exxxxxxxxxxxxx-cuuuuuuuuuuuSSSSSSSeeeeeeeeeee Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ssseeeeeeeeeeeee"

Idiot level inquiries;
Sir, do you know you are sitting by the emergency exit?

Half of the boarding annoucements are in Korean.................

An online frequent flyer website that doesn't work ................


If I had a choice, it would be Cathay. PAL has bumped me up a few times to Business class, so that's nice.
