Korean Air Boeing 777-300ER LONG-HAUL ECONOMY from Vienna to Seoul Incheon! | BRUTALLY HONEST
Korean Air feels almost like a company stuck in time. It's as if you teleported an airline from the early 2000s to the present day. Generous cabins, old-school entertainment systems, delicious meals, and a charmingly outdated corporate identity.

The first time I started watching aviation videos was because of Simply Aviation. He got me the interest in planes and feel that nothing is impossible. If you would ask me to name a better aviation youtuber than SImply Aviation, I'd personally say none.

Took a flight from Budapest to Seoul with Korean Air this June. Absolutely amazing. The boarding goes smooth, the crew is amazing, the food is ok-ish. And you want to see the safety video again and again. Flying with them was one of the most entertaining experiences ever
I flew Korean Air last july from Rome to Seoul. Despite the 2 hours delay, i may say Korean Air was the best airline i've ever flown. The service, the courtesy, the food, all the experience was amazing. From Brazil to Italy i flew LATAM, and i could see the difference between the airlines from Europe and Americas to the ones based in the extreme orient. I wish i could fly with them again, specially because the miles program i use, Smiles from Gol Airlines, have really good prices to fly with Korean Air. Watching your review made me remember that incredible flight.

As a SuperM fan and fellow Trash Taste lover, and a loooong time viewer of this channel, you have no idea how happy this video has made me. Flew Korea Air from South East Asia to Vancouver and back again. I love their bibimbap, super tasty even if I compare to what I can get in Korea. The entertainment system is very lacking but I can always pre-download videos. There was an almost 12-hour layover for my flight and they very kindly arranged an airport hotel room for free! I was only flying economy.
11:41 😆 As an American that has lived abroad for 24 years I whole heartedly agree!
All those recordings were awesome especially the 747-400. I remember tracking this one live. Awesome review
I love it how simple flying is now doing sow much brutally honest series.I love it!
I flew Korean from YYZ-ICN, ICN-HAN, BKK-ICN and ICN-YYZ. 777 on the Asian flights and 787 on the transpacific flights. Probably some of my favourite flights. Super comfy, good food, decent IFE. Absolutely no complaints.
Flying to Korea in two weeks on their 777 this was a well timed video. Thank you!! I was gutted about not getting business but after seeing this I will survive happily in economy.😊
OMG - I absolutely LOVE that model plane collection!! How amazing! I've never been to Vienna, but now I have even more reason to visit. As for the video, I felt genuinely happy for you David, and I thank you for sharing your passion with us in this video as well as your entire channel.
Wow.... looks like a really nice airline to fly with. I hope that Korean Air do a review of their cabin temperature. I found it is always more comfortable to have the cabin a little on the cooler side and use the blanket if necessary. Warm cabins can make you feel restless.
I’ve been to Seoul a couple of times but actually never flew with Korean Air. As I’m just thinking of my next trip going there I will this time definitely considering Korean Air as the prices are all pretty similar to other Airlines. Thank you for the review and hopefully you had a nice stay in Seoul! Just a quick edit: K-ETA is not necessary anymore for certain countries as of recently.
What great story, David! Glad you got to take this trip
777-300er is one of my favorite planes great vid as always
I took a roundtrip (Feb 2023) Korean Air from YVR to southeast Asia with layover in ICN. One of the best choice I've done in my travel. Looking forward to flying with them again in October. Cheers
Just loved your comments about Fahrenheit 😆😂Love your videos, they got me more into aviation
In general the interior seems to be a bit more dated but the principles of the airline and its service look awesome! Would definitely like to try them one day, another great review David :)
Absolutely fantastic video David!😸
i choose EVA Air for my first longhaul flights (to and from japan via Taiwan) because of the videos of this channel. I watch this channel because i am not 100% sure, but it could be that david and i were in same class in elementary school back then, - and of course because of the huge quality of their videos.
Simply Aviation, you guys are simply the best!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏
i flew Korean Air from lax to icn in july 2022 on board there 747-800 in economy. it was the most amazing flight. the food was fantastic the seats were comfortable and the crew was out of this world. what blew me away was when a baby started crying 3 fa’s went over to help the mom calm the baby bringing toys and more. it was amazing to watch. also when i got air sick on the flight home i asked the flight attendant for a bag and they also brought me a whole sprite to help ease my stomach. there crew is extraordinary.

At 3:15 that is the exact reason why Vienna is one of my favorite airport 😅😅.Boy at 6:02 even some airlines don't give that much of legroom in premium economy
Hi David, thank you for a great trip review. I have been flying Korean a lot in between Australia and Europe in 2013-2017 and it always was a great experience, specifically with a 5 star hotel free overnight transit
Korean Air is amazing! I flew with them from DFW to Seoul and had an amazing experience. Their IFE might not be the best in my opinion.
The 777x on Korean air livery is all I cana aks for! I have hope it would also be there. Excelent video!
What a surprise i just rewatched your old videos
Korean air is also one of my favorite airline to catch in my airport as well. They're sending all types of their planes on the 2 hrs flight including the jumbo and the queen😂
Awesome and wel done review and video as always! Thanks!
13:40 when you said Beijing I thought it was a mistake, but pretty surprised that it actually is and you can see PEK and PKX so clearly on the flight
In addition to Super-M in the safety video, BoA (another singer) was also in it too as the female lead announcing the safety rules at the beginning of the safety video.
Loving the economy class reviews!!
First!!!! Great video always love the flight report
❤Korean Air! Thanks for the info + video!
That was a lovely introduction. Great video!
Thanks I absolutely love the sound quality. I feel I am there with you.
My only flight on Korean air so far is a domestic flight on a 737-900, from Jeju to Seoul I took last year. The plane was practically empty, so I enjoyed loads of room to move around. The crew was also, frankly adorable. Whenever I fly a new airline for the first time, I like to get the crew to sign a piece of paper with the airplane I’m flying printed on it, as a momento. I kindly asked the three flight attendants to sign, using a translator app to show them what I wanted. They all stated at each other and just laughed after 10s. Then we started chatting a little, turns out they never came across an avgeek before. They look quite young, so I think they could be junior crew learning the ropes on domestic flights. I look forward to flying Korean Air again, on a proper mid-long haul flight this time.
David, love your videos and what makes them so good it YOUR commentary.
Nice video! Keep up the good work!!
This video is so nicely shot and well detailed. Thank you for advising the right way of eating the traditional bibimbap rice dish with gochujang as I’ll be catching my Korean air next week ❤🙂

9 abreast economy on a 777 is already a win
Flew Emirates 777 DXB-CMB in October 2015 with a 02:25 departure. They kept the heating on the entire flight!
Dang! I wish I could go to Tampa Airport Afterschool without having to drive 30mins and cross the highway! I really love Planespotting to See if i could find the rare Big birds. Aka the Virgin Atlantic A339, The British Airways 777-200ER, The Eurowings A333, And maybe, The Edelweiss A343. Another Amazing Video!
Bought a KE ticket, SEA-ICH-SIN, that was manned by DL out of SEA. KE took over at ICH. This flight was perfect to compare the differences between the two Skyteam partners. Plenty of space on KE's 777 and the catering was one step above DL. A welcome relief for a long flight!
I just flew korean air from incheon to Sydney my aircraft got changed to a 777 when it was a 787 planned the cabin the same like this video and the meals a good the flight was just worth it
I love how they were playing "Married Life" from the movie UP in 15:37 😭😭😭
They're up there with JAL and SGP for sure. Took one of their A380's from LAX to ICN the a 747-400 from there to BKK way back at least ten years . Very comfortable.
That meal service in economy certainly put virtually all European carriers to shame

I flew with Lufthansa FRA-HKG. Terrible catering. Sandwich with eggplant is just ridiculous, and the bread was tough... The main course was a literary dwarf's meal. No wonder they lost their star, now 4 stars only. I will stick with Cathay Pacific next time, the East Asian services are just better, not only Korean Air, Vietnam Airlines, China Airlines or the renowned ANA and Singapore Airlines.

Such a great Trip report!
I love the safety video 🥰
How was your transit experience? Did you have to pick up bags in baggage claim then check them in or did the airline check it thru all the way to your final destination?
I love this Aircraft Type 😍
I absolutely love how you slandered Fahrenheit
I agree I don't like how they like to keep the plane very warm. The last time I flew Korean Airlines was before the pandemic in 2019. Even in business class, it was still hot. On the A380 my wife and I flew, I noticed the storage room on the side of my seat was cold so we took the pillows from empty seats and let them get cold and swapped them around just to stay comfortable. We even brought mini fans to try to stay cool.
this one is very nice, especially when i compare it with my flight to RUN with air france (3 4 3 configuration) even the seats were more used and older
Glad you liked the flight. I usually find meal services on KE to be mediocre, pleasantly surprised that you considered them praise worthy. Just FYI, 23~25C is viewed as ‘just right’ room temperature here in Korea, and KE is mostly geared toward Korean passengers so that’s the reason for… unreasonably hot cabin temp. Conversely, I usually find the cabins to be very cold whenever I fly western airlines.
Thanks for the amazing report. I would never fly Korean Air. 25 Celsius degree in a open space is one thing but in a confined space like airplane cabin can be suffocating and tiring.The service is good for those who want to try Korean food stile
I want those guys from the @trashtaste channel to take note of your video, that you preferred to watch their videos over Korean Air inflight system offerings. :) I also want to to fly with the likes of Korean Air to Asia next time, but it doesn't look like their costs are going to go down any time soon. Thanks for the trip report and well done!

I just shopped around and they are pretty similar with most airline prices in fact some are more.
Very impressive. If I ever need to choose an airline to get to Europe the detour via Seoul might be worthwhile.
I flew Qatar 777 in 343 layout and it was very tight especially 3 wide men shoulder to shoulder and me being in the middle. that's what the airlines think of their customer when they'd rather make the aisles wider than the customers seat... although you might be grateful for it if SHTF
Flew Asiana from Seoul to Jakarta during winter and their cabin was uncomfortably hot too. But the inbound flight to Seoul from Jakarta the cabin temp was fine.
Looking forward to my long haul flight from Chicago to Bangkok on Korean Air. I’ve flown ANA before and can’t wait to compare. I almost subscribed but I’ve spent my entire life using Fahrenheit.
Nice video. I think the aircraft you took was a 77W that Korean Air recieved before 2015...because of the seats and tv screen. I ride recently their most recent 77W, those one have same seats and tv screen than their 747-8i that i also experienced last month for CDG-ICN route.
Even koreans are surprised when Korean air was announced as a 5-star airline by skytrax
10:48 Trash Taste. Good Taste
Always wanted to ask, and I love the explanation of how you used to spot at Vienna, what sort of work do you do that allows you to travel all over the world? My family and I fly to Vienna because it's the best airport with access to Bratislava, where we are from! Please let me know, thank you and I'm looking forward to more trip reports from Vienna
My favourite airline! I've flown with them several times between CDG -> INC, and INC ->NRT. Great service, fantastic food. Can't say I've ever had a problem with cabin temperature.
I feel we truly witnessed the awakening of sassy David in this episode and I for one am here for it
God David you had me tearing up 50 seconds into the video.
Korean air ‘s economy is reall nice that is Wider legs room and best cabin crew service all the time
I can only recommend you to try Asiana's A380 as well! I flew Frankfurt - Incheon, both ways the meals were pretty good, probably comparable to your Korean Air meals. They actually were one of the cheapest options, and I can't remember a thing they did worse than Korean Air :D
Regarding the onboard temperature, I think 23-25 deg C is actually very comfortable! How is that unreasonably hot? It'll be hot if you have a jacket or hoody on, of course. Easy solution - take off jacket LoL. Plain t-shirt and pants/shorts, and you'll be comfortable. But anyway, other than your remark about the temperature, I agree with everything else. The legroom is stupendously awesome, the food is fantastic, the cabin crews are so friendly, cordial, polite and eager to please. And being skyteam elite plus, I was pleasantly surprised recently when the purser came up to me and gave me a personal welcome as their "special guest" aboard. I don't get that on Delta LoL. After my recent flight with KE, I'm looking to fly them more and more =]
I loved the shot at Fahrenheit lmao, here in Canada I use Celsius for outdoor temperature but Fahrenheit for indoor temperature, and cooking temperature.
Can't believe it took this long to fly Korean. But happy!
I feel prior to the pandemic their service was good but never really exciting. Now it just seemed dated compared to many of their competitors. I didn't know about the cabin temp but now I know why I was dying on my flight!
Sehr cooler Report!
