There are more than 8 airlines fly this route Hong Kong to Seoul but i decided to fly with Korean air. Korean air is always my first option to go for because of the quality of service. This time i flew on business class which they called it prestige class along with their new Airbus 380 and the new prestige sleeper seat.
Korean air's A380 have only 407 seats configured with 12 First class seats / 94 Prestige class seats and 301 economy seats which i believe would be one of the most comfortable A380s in the world!
Check-in for the flight

The Korean air lounge was nearby gate 15 and the gate for this flight was also at gate 15
The lounge was pretty simple with just one or two kinds of dim sum provided, not much to talk about

Conclusion

I personally hate flying on a red eye flight however many of the flight from Hong Kong to Seoul depart at night; I usually fly on KE604 which is an afternoon flight. I love interior design of Korean air which makes me feel relax, the cabin crew were courteous.

  • Thanks for sharing this nice report with beautiful pictures. It is so nice that KE has such a low density on their A380 and using it as intended by Airbus rather than packing more passengers in. I would have liked to see some pictures of the onboard lounge and bar area, but otherwise a great report!

  • I've visited the KE lounge in HKG four years ago. The airline should be ashamed. It's so ugly compared to the other lounges in HK.

    I also hate these late evening departure flights. But you flew aboard Airbus A380 which is great.

    Thank you
