TRIPREPORT | Air Koryo (ECONOMY) | Beijing Capital - Pyongyang Sunan | Tupolev Tu-204

Getting in and out of North Korea is not easy, and flying on their government-owned airline is often the only way. But what is it actually like to fly on an airline based in such a secluded country?

I remember Koreans placing pins with the portraits of great leaders before boarding the plane in Beijing. They stood in front of a mirror and I thought: «I have reached the proper gate!»

    I recently had a look at the EU blacklist for airplanes and Air Koryo is on it with the exception of the Tu-204 so Air Koryo‘s Tu-204 would theoretically also be allowed to operate in Europe (which makes sense Ig, Air Koryo doesn‘t have a terrible safety record and the Tu-204 isn‘t horribly outdated either). So it always confused when people would say it‘s the worst and/or most unsafe airline out there

    Still remember flying on an Air Koryo IL62 to Zurich back when they flew there. Here’s some context. It was December 21, I was in Beijing on business and needed to get home for Christmas. My flight on American was canceled. The next available flight direct to SFO (where me and my entire family were gonna meet at my sisters house) was on Christmas Day. I was so bummed until I looked over at the Air Koryo check-in counter. Saw a flight to Pyongyang on a TU154, I asked the check in agent about a flight to Zurich via Pyongyang. To my luck there was a flight to Zurich that would leave me with a 2 hour stop in Pyongyang, if PERFECT! Instantly booked my flight on Swiss from ZUR to SFO. Got to fly on a TU154 and IL62! Even treated myself to seat 1A on both AK flights and even the Swiss flight thanks to my secret stash of Star Alliance points.
