Welcome to your favorite FR : Seoul-Busan!
Back at Gimpo. My third home, after my apartment and the cold embrace of regret.
Walking through the airport, I realize I’m just a human carry-on ,dragging myself from one place to another with no real agency..
I am going to get my boarding pass..
I approach the self-check-in machine. Finally, a form of validation I don’t have to beg for.
Time for the security check.
The scanner beeps as I walk through. Great, even machines find me suspicious.
My bag goes through the X-ray, exposing all my poor life choices in neatly packed form..
A screen displays my flight number, proving that, against all odds, I’m still on schedule. More than I can say for my long-term plans…
Lets go to gate 10
An announcement calls for boarding. Time to let another machine validate me one last time before I enter this metal tube of reflection…
People are waiting in silence. I, too, embrace the void, staring into the distance like a character in a dramatic indie film.
They look confident .. unlike me
I scan my boarding pass. The gate beeps. Another emotionless yet deeply satisfying confirmation of my existence…
not gonna lie I thought for a slight moment that the machine would expose me like "beep beep scammer entering"
The flight attendant greets me with a warm “welcome aboard.”
A small moment of kindness..too bad I’m emotionally unavailable to process it.
Im walking through the tunnel with a lot of questions on my existence..
did i tell you guys i have troubles with my skin?
I locate my seat, relieved that at least one thing in my life today has been assigned properly.
The seatbelt clicks into place. The most stable relationship I’ve had in a while.
+ view on the pitch
The city lights shimmer outside. A beautiful contrast to the dull glow of my phone screen, where notifications are as rare as my good decisions.
As we lift off, I feel weightless for a moment. A rare break from the crushing gravity of my own bad choices..
Aurevoir, Seoul.
Hello..yet another episode of me questioning everything while staring at a seatback in front of me.
nice feature on the seat to support the phone.
I wish I could have some support too about the terrible decisions I made in my life
The city lights shrink below us. A perfect metaphor for my ambitions over time.
Beverage time ! Its rare nowadays to get this service . I sure appreciate it but none of these magic drink will save my appearance haha!
Smooth flight, quiet cabin… a rare moment of peace, which obviously means my brain will now replay every embarrassing moment from the past decade.
City lights reappear, reminding me that Busan awaits… as does my empty fridge and questionable life choices.
The plane slows down gently. Unlike me, when I try to make rational decisions.
We taxi to the gate. The journey ends, but my ongoing existential monologue does not.
Thanks for a fun entertaining read on this short domestic flight. It's cool to see a domestic Korean flight review as there aren't that many, in English anyway.
HAH! One of my favourite places as well 😂
Nice that KE have a drink service on this short flight, unlike the LCCs as you mention. I assume Asiana have a drink service as well. Either way, I guess once they merge they will align service...hopefully for the better, but that's rarely the case with mergers.
I was surprised to see such a modern cabin on a 737-800, but it turns out HL8349 is a 737 MAX 8, so I went ahead and updated that for you.
Thanks for sharing!
Hello and thank you for your detailed comment.
If im not mistaken , Asiana doesnt fly from Gimpo to Gimhae but they have codesharing with Air Busan.
I am glad people dont take my style of FR too seriously.
I just uploaded a new FR , dont hesitate to check it out :)
