Strong cargo performance lift Korean Air’s Q3 results

Korean Air Airbus A330-300

A strong performance from the cargo segment helped Korean Air to post an operating profit of nearly 439 billion won during the third quarter of 2021, a significant jump from the 7.6 billion won profit for the same period in 2020. Korean Air’s investor presentation for the quarter showed that the cargo segment’s revenue showed the highest growth, followed by the passenger segment. This helped to offset declines in revenue from its other businesses, including its aerospace division.

Total revenue for the quarter ended 30 September 2021 was up 43.6 percent to nearly 2.3 trillion won. Operating expenditure grew 16 percent to 1.8 trillion won, as higher fuel consumption and prices were the key contributors. The carrier was also able to post a net profit of 134 billion won, reversing the 386 billion net loss for the same period last year. 

For the cargo segment, Korean Air attributed the strong results to factors such as “persistent demand” from the multiple industrial sectors, the ongoing fight against COVID-19 such as test kits and vaccinations, as well as supply chain disruptions.

The passenger segment saw a recovery, aided by the public holidays in South Korea and domestic vacations, travellers heading to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and international students travelling to the United States for their studies.

Korean Air sees positive outlook

Looking ahead, Korean Air foresees rising demand for international travel, as quarantine-free travel opens up. Capacity to select markets will increase in tandem with the reopening of national borders, while maintaining a “flexible operation” until international travel resumes.

The carrier also expects cargo to continue to perform strongly, due to the holiday season in the final months of the year, along with logistical challenges faced at ports. To maximise revenue, it will optimise its fleet deployment and network, while also working to ensure operational stability.

As of 30 September 2021, Korean Air operated a fleet of 156 passenger and freighter aircraft, a net reduction of three. While it phased out four Boeing 737s, it took in one Airbus A330 after Czech Airlines returned a leased aircraft back to Korean Air.

Having announced plans to acquire Asiana Airlines in November 2020, Korean Air is working to secure approvals from multiple authorities on the proposed acquisition. Upon obtaining the required approvals, Korean Air will then acquire 63.9 percent stake in Asiana, before starting an integration process that will take place over a two-year period.

Korean Air Purchasing Up To 50 Boeing Wide-Body Planes

Key Takeaways

  • Boeing and Korean Air said the carrier would be purchasing up to 50 Boeing wide-body planes.
  • The agreement calls for Korean Air to receive 20 777Xs and 20 787 Dreamliners, with an option to buy 10 more Dreamliners.
  • Boeing has struggled this year as questions have been raised about its quality control procedures.

Boeing ( BA ) and Korean Air announced Monday that the carrier would be buying as many as 50 of the plane maker’s wide-body jetliners.

Korean Air will purchase 20 777Xs and 20 787-10 Dreamliners, with an option to add another 10 of the largest Dreamliner model, the two companies announced at the Farnborough Airshow outside London.

Korean Air CEO Walter Cho called the move “a significant milestone in our strategic objective to expand and upgrade our fleet.”

The launch of the 777X, Boeing’s largest commercial aircraft, has been delayed, with the plane yet to be certified for flying. However, Cho reportedly said at the airshow that the airline expects delivery later this decade, adding that if he wasn’t assured they’d be available, he wouldn’t have ordered them.

Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, noted that Korean Air has had a 50-year relationship with Boeing, and “the 777X and 787 Dreamliner will continue to support the airline's long-term goals for sustainability and continued growth."

Shares of Boeing were down less than 1% in early-afternoon trading Monday. The stock has lost about a quarter of its value in 2024 as the manufacturer faced a series of questions about its quality controls, including those raised after the blowout of a door plug in an Alaska Airlines flight in January.

Korean Air achieves the prestigious 5-Star Airline recognition

korean air aircraft

By Peter Miller, Skytrax – London, UK

Korean Air has achieved a top global recognition by being Certified as a 5-Star Airline by international air transport rating agency, Skytrax.

Korean Air joins 10 other international airlines in this exclusive 5-Star Airline group. Skytrax completed the Korean Air audit assessments during February 2020 before the global travel shut down, deferring this 5-Star announcement.

Korean Air’s President, Mr. Keehong Woo, said: “ We’re excited to receive a 5-Star Certification from Skytrax, the world’s most prestigious and recognized customer service experience and airline ratings organization. It’s positive and meaningful news during this challenging time, and I’m sincerely proud of all our Korean Air employees who make this achievement possible. We established and have run our Service Improvement Committee since 2013 to monitor our service, evaluate customer satisfaction, and implement the industry’s best practices. We also continue to upgrade our aircraft and equipment to improve our customers’ experience and ensure safe and clean flights. Korean Air is ready for the new, post-COVID era .”

korean air presentation

Edward Plaisted of Skytrax said: “ This 5-Star Airline rating for Korean Air was due to have been released earlier this year, but due to COVID-19 we had delayed Certification to a time when it was more appropriate to announce and acknowledge this achievement. A key determinant in awarding this 5-Star Airline status to Korean Air is the high level of quality consistency delivered to customers, with an excellent onboard product across First, Business and Economy class, which combines with very efficient and sincere staff service .”

Korean Air operates from Terminal 2 at Incheon International Airport in Seoul which is one of the world’s newest and most technologically advanced terminal facilities. In addition to a high-level of automation for check-in and bag-drop, Korean Air benefits from quick and efficient baggage delivery and priority handling systems, in addition to easy flight connections amongst SkyTeam partners.

Onboard, Korean Air has a modern fleet of aircraft,  including the A380, Boeing 747-8, Boeing 787 and A220. An important factor in the high rating for onboard product is the industry leading 33 to 34 inch living space in Economy Class on widebody aircraft, and the quality and consistency of the suites provided to customers in First Class and Prestige Business Class on long haul flights.

Catering quality is meeting a good level in each cabin class and represents the best of local Korean cuisine with a similarly balanced focus on international choices on appropriate routes.

A 5-Star Airline rating has always placed great importance on all aspects of onboard and airport cleanliness and presentation, and Korean Air are meeting a strong 5-Star standard in these areas. There was a very good consistency of onboard cleaning standards at the home base Incheon International Airport, and these high standards were being well applied at the many network airports checked.

Korean Air staff at its home base airport and onboard flights are achieving a high quality of service to customers and this is combined with excellent standards of consistency.

The 5-Star Airline rating for Korean Air is not related to their potential takeover of Asiana Airlines. Once the outcome and implications of that potential takeover is known, Skytrax will conduct further rating evaluation and analysis in 2021.

  • Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
  • A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
  • A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
  • If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
  • An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
  • An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
  • A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
  • You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
  • You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
  • You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
  • You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
  • You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
  • You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
  • You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
  • You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
  • The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
  • An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
  • A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
  • An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
  • A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
  • A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
  • An advertising intermediary delivers ads from various advertisers to its network of partnering websites. It notices a large increase in clicks on ads relating to one advertiser, and uses data regarding the source of the clicks to determine that 80% of the clicks come from bots rather than humans.
  • Clicking on a link in an article might normally send you to another page or part of the article. To achieve this, 1°) your browser sends a request to a server linked to the website, 2°) the server answers back (“here is the article you asked for”), using technical information automatically included in the request sent by your device, to properly display the information / images that are part of the article you asked for. Technically, such exchange of information is necessary to deliver the content that appears on your screen.
  • When you visit a website and are offered a choice between consenting to the use of profiles for personalised advertising or not consenting, the choice you make is saved and made available to advertising providers, so that advertising presented to you respects that choice.

Korean Air says turbulence is knocking instant noodles off its economy menu

NEW YORK (AP) — Turbulence is knocking a beloved instant-noodle offering off Korean Air’s economy menu.

Cups of Shin Ramyun instant noodles, a favorite among Korean Air travelers over the years, will no longer be available for economy-class passengers starting Aug. 15, a spokesperson for the Seoul-based airline said.

“This decision is part of proactive safety measures in response to increased turbulence, aimed at preventing burn accidents,” Korean Air said.

The instant noodles are currently part of Korean Air’s in-flight snack service, which is a self-serve bar beyond meals available for economy passengers on long-haul trips. In this week’s announcement, the carrier added that it had “renewed” economy’s snack options to instead include offerings like sandwiches, corn dogs and hot pockets.

But business- and first-class passengers will still get their noodles. Korean Air told the BBC that the noodles are brought individually to business- and first-class travelers, reducing spill risks.

Concern about the dangers of serving hot food and liquids on airplanes isn’t new. Over the years, several carriers have faced lawsuits from customers who say they suffered serious burns after having hot coffee, for example, spilled on them during a flight. And, while legal precedent may vary around the world, the European Union’s highest court ruled in 2019 that an airline can be held liable if a passenger is injured in this way, even if turbulence or other flight-related factors didn’t cause the spill.

But turbulence, of course, still adds to risk. Flying through unstable air can make balancing something like soup or a hot beverage in-flight all the more precarious.

Numerous turbulence-related injuries have been reported over the years, but most incidents are minor — and airlines have made steady improvements in reducing accident rates. Those include suspending cabin service when needed or taking extra caution when distributing certain refreshments.

Still, rough air might be getting harder and harder to avoid. Some meteorologists and aviation analysts note reports of turbulence encounters are on the rise, pointing to the potential impacts climate change may have on flying conditions.

Korean Air A380 First Class Seoul Incheon to Los Angeles

Korean Air A380 First Class Seoul Incheon to Los Angeles

  • Ben Schlappig
  • Published: February 12, 2014
  • Updated: April 16, 2020

I have a confession to make — assuming I’m traveling alone, I don’t actually care whether my flights are amazing as could be or entertainingly horrible. While a good flight is nice to report on, as a blogger I’m kind of amused when I get to report on a subpar flight. That’s why I didn’t at all mind my outbound flights on China Southern from Los Angeles to Guangzhou and Guangzhou to Tokyo Narita .

So for the return portion of my SkyPass award I booked Korean Air A380 first class from Seoul Incheon to Los Angeles. I really didn’t know what to expect with Korean Air. I’ve always enjoyed Asiana’s first class . Despite their outdated hard product, they’re still one of my favorite airlines, between their excellent service and top notch food.

Korean-Air-First-Lounge-Incheon39

Based on what I had been told as far as Korean carriers go, Korean Air is generally known to be the more “stylish” airline, while Asiana is known to be the more “substantive” airline.

Well, based on my Korean Air A380 flight from Seoul Incheon to Los Angeles, I have to say Korean Air is 100% style and substance. The flight was literally flawless, which isn’t a claim I make often.

I’ll have a full trip report early next week, but here are my initial thoughts:

Korean Air A380 first class seats

Korean Air’s A380 first class cabin is located on the lower deck and consists of 12 seats. The cabin has a total of three rows in a 1-2-1 configuration. So on the surface this isn’t an especially private layout. China Southern , Lufthansa , and Malaysia have just eight first class seats on the A380, and China Southern , Emirates , and Singapore have fully enclosed suites.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-005

That being said, the seats themselves were extremely comfortable and spacious. Now, admittedly there was only one other passenger in the cabin, and when the cabin is that empty I almost prefer an “open” layout than a confined private suite. I’m not sure I would have felt the same way if the cabin were full, but the seat is spacious.

It’s worth noting that there’s also a partition that raises around the side of the seat on demand, for added privacy. So the cabin isn’t necessarily quite as “open” as it may look.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-001

The bed was also extremely comfortable, and the bedding was top notch. After Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, and Qantas, it was probably among the best bedding I’ve had.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-063

Korean Air A380 first class food & drinks

OMG — AMAZING! One of my favorite parts about flying Asiana is the excellent food, and the same was true on Korean Air.

For one, they had champagne. I know that doesn’t sound all that exciting, but after having three flights in a row without champagne onboard, it was a welcome sight. And lets just say I was drinking for both the 10 empty seats and the three previous “dry” flights.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-026

For dinner I decided to do the Korean option all the way through (well, minus the dessert), and it was phenomenal . Like, I can’t even describe how good it was.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-053

All the little touches with the service impressed me. There was a salad course, and the salad was literally made “table side” off the trolley.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-055

Here’s another example of how good the meal service was, which will sound totally silly to anyone that doesn’t appreciate small details. You know how on Cathay Pacific, Singapore, etc., they serve you yogurt directly in the plastic container in first class?

So on Korean Air I was presented with my choices of yogurt off a galley cart, and once I selected my preferred yogurt the flight attendant delicately scooped the yogurt out of the container and into a bowl. Not only that, but then she offered to “garnish” my yogurt with toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and/or raisins. That level of attention to detail left me feeling a bit tingly.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-093

Korean Air A380 first class service

The service was amazing . The flight attendant working the first class cabin spoke English fairly well, and couldn’t have been more professional, friendly, and engaging. I asked her what tasted best on the menu, and she confidently made suggestions. Not only that, but she’d follow up to ask how I was enjoying each course.

Similarly, for breakfast I ordered the western option, but since she saw I took a liking to the Korean food for dinner she proactively brought me some omija punch (which means “five flavor tea”) to see if I liked it.

Korean Air A380 first class amenities

So I’ll have a lot more on this in the actual trip report, but damn does Korean Air have a pimped-out A380. They might just give Emirates a run for their money. There’s a nice bar set up in the forward galley in front of first class.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-065

Then at the front of the upper deck is a business class lounge with a handful of seats and a nice snack setup.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-070

Then in the rear of the upper deck is a massive bar, which puts Emirates’ A380 bar to shame, in my opinion.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-077

Then at the rear of the lower deck is a pretty cool duty free display. It’s definitely style over substance, though still pretty nifty.

Korean-Air-A380-First-Class-085

Bottom line on Korean Air A380 first class

I don’t know whether I just lucked out with a great crew and an empty flight, or if this is the norm. Regardless, Korean Air absolutely blew me away, and as far as I’m concerned they have one of the top first class products out there. This is an awesome use of Chase Ultimate Rewards points, and I can’t wait to fly with them again.

Stay tuned for the full trip report!

Just flew business on 380 KAL, and it felt like a bus. Hated the lack of intimacy and privacy. They need better design for the architecture of the seat layout and stacking. Bad lighting too. No temp. Control.

@ hkairlinenews -- Yes, but might as well by dry at that point. Not going to drink sparkling wine that's less than $5 per bottle.

"three previous "dry" flights"

Duc de Paris is also champagne I think...

@Lucky my only KE F experience was as good as yours!... some may say it wasnt that good but base of many comments here, seems like it generally has good service in F. I am looking forward to fly KE F again in April. Need more data points from KE.

My KE F salad was also the best salad I even had, so fresh, I asked for double salad I remembered.

Yogurt in the bowl was done on my SQ Suite and F most of the flights I had with them, as I remember.

I actually feel indifferent about either enclosed-suite or openness version of the F seat, as long as it is big, comfortable, and looks good with comfortable/stylish color tone. For A380 F I think CZ anx MH seat don't look as classy, EK blingy as we know but is ok overall. Others are all good to me.

I care about soft product more cuz I am raised from the culture that have more human interaction vs wanna be left alone and do things on my own. Some who say the service level on Asian carriers are too much and they prefer to be left alone, that's fine but Asian services are built from Asian cultures that most Asian don't like to be left alone. Giving suggestions/opinions for choosing entree/wine/desserts, attentiveness, do it with smiles, follow through asking how I like it, and engage in small talks, are part of making the service great either on the planes, nice hotels, or restaurants.

@TravelinWilly I've had hot cabin on some KE A380 HKG flights and cool cabin on other flights (eg ATL). Certainly not consistently hot (unlike say Lufthansa or British Airways).

I have flown both, and they're both fine products. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to fly in those planes on KE A380 or OZ suite F. They're not that much better over the 777 or 747 on KE/OZ.

@ Nick -- Haven't yet flown Asiana Suites, though hope to try it soon.

how does this compare to OZ's new suites?

I flew Korean last September from NRT to HKG and I must say i had two of the best business class flights I have ever had. The service was excellent on both flights, the food was great (I now love bibimbap) and the hard product was very comfortable (a brand new 738 to ICN and a 77W to HKG).

The only issue was that the lounge was ridiculously busy in ICN. All in all I would fly them again in a heartbeat.

They will indeed be suites on the Asiana A380!

This seems like a far contrast from KE J. Flew the A380 in J LAX-ICN and the xxperience was just so-so. FA's were generally cold and never smiled. Hard product was ok but serving the pre-arrival meal 4 hrs prior (as Andy mentioned) was really weird.

The forward lounge, while neat in concept, wasn't all that practical I only used it to get water but they never refilled the bottle so it was empty most of the flight.

Hi Lucky, I think KE F is a great product for trans-Pacific flying...my question for you is when did they serve the second meal? In my experience they seem to serve the second meal early, maybe about 4 hours before landing. They are very polite and have no issue when I ask to wait another hour or 90 minutes.

On one flight I had a filling mid-flight snack (during the middle of the flight) and about an hour later they asked if I was ready for the second meal.

@ wwk5d -- Hah, I have to save some content for the trip report. ;)

Did it bother me? No. Did I find it to be one of the most ridiculous features on an airplane EVER? Yes.

@ Andy -- The cabin was hot after lunch, though cooled down a bit later, so it didn't really bother me too much.

@ David -- At the end of the day I've had some horrible airline meals that looked amazing, and some amazing airline meals that looked not-so-amazing. For the record I didn't post all the meal pictures, which I'm saving for the full report.

But I not only found the presentation to be gorgeous, but I thought the quality was even better.

@ Adam P -- I'll have a full explanation of Korean Air award bookings with the trip report, but basically they charge 80,000 miles one-way in first class between the US and Northeast Asia.

They release a TON of first class award space, both in advance and close to departure. It's not unusual to see 2-4 first class award seats per flight. So they're a readily available option.

Looks like the JFK-ICN route F has better dining service. Full trip report here: http://www.tprochina.com/?p=60

Flew ICN-LAX in F on the A380 as part of the RGN mistake fares last year. I had a similarly flawless experience. KE offers a top-notch product across the Pacific.

My few flights with Korean have been flawless as well. Too bad Delta gutted the partnership MQM earning...

Have enjoyed Korean Air before, but have to try this.And I like the openness as opposed to suites.

I did the KE A380 from JFK to ICN last fall. I was in business, and it was full upstairs, but the service was flawless, as was the food, as you describe.

And no one used that lounge in the front at all, so it was nice place to sit and read for a bit to get out of the seat.

That's champagne! No asswiper though :(

Asiana announced they are planning to compete more aggressively in first and will be flying their first two A380s between ICN and LAX starting in July. I'd bet they will be suites.

Look forward to the full trip-report!

And yes, being served yogurt and ice cream in containers is a bit strange.

This is pretty aligned with NYBanker's trip report from late 2012: http://upgrd.com/sitinfirst/korean-air-a380-first-class-new-york-to-seoul.html

I, too, have always heard that KE keeps the cabin at a stiflingly hot temperature, and I would never be able to deal with that for 10++ hours.

Surprised the Korean option was not bibimbap, guess that's changed as well...

You didn't get lucky with great crews. Korean Air always got fantastic young attendants. Especially for business and first class, service is just always superb.

Interesting. Most of the TRs I've read about this airline have pretty much averaged to "good but not great". Either you were...lucky (no pun intended), or they've improved quite a bit.

Did the reading lamp on the side not bother you? It usually tend to piss off quite a few people in their own TRs lol

@lucky - I recently flew the KE A380 ICN-ATL and our flight was actually surprising light in terms of passengers too and I was in economy. It was only about 70% full which seems rare now adays. Was the cabin hot? It was really noticeable on our flight and with no personal air vents, made it slightly uncomfortable...

Nice, flower bottle! One of my favs.

I hardly see that meal service as impressive, but boy you love Champagne!

I can't believe with all the bling for the lounge, they couldn't have added a sliding door to the suite.

Lucky, can you please remind us how to book KE using either Chase or DL points? Also how to check for availability? Are they a carrier that releases a lot of last minute premium class space?

@ hkairlinenews -- Yes, but might as well by dry at that point. Not going to drink sparkling wine that's less than $5 per bottle.

"three previous "dry" flights" Duc de Paris is also champagne I think...
