    Thank you so much for this video! 🙏🏻 You’re really helpful! I’m more calm about my trip now. FYI: at 07:32 they’re not Bts, but Exo and Nct members ☺️ korean air is in partnership with another entertainment company called SM so they have stuff on board with those artists.

    I fly Korean regularly between Incheon and Vietnam. Last time I went to Nha Trang they were rocking an old 737, a noticeable downgrade from the also aging 330 pre pandemic. But the cabin crew are always first rate. Will be on the 74 next week to lax, can’t wait!

    Thanks for sharing. Huge like. I already flew once with Korean Air. It was in 2016. I took the A380 from CDG to ICN. Then the 77W from ICN to Manila. This year it will be the -8 for CDG-ICN. Can't wait. Do you think they will make a transit tour in Seoul? Because I will have 7:30 hours layover during my return flights in September.

I had anxiety from Korea to philippines round trip... delta was perfectly fine but then Korean Air had me worried as I seen asian pilot fatal errors and then as I waited on the terminal all Korean planes had paint missing and welding on their tail wings... the elevation on the plane were harsh and we had turbulence for like 5min straight.... just glad I made it safe to my destination and back home. Overall its my route there and I have to go through it.
