      a lot of people do that, hahaha!! just check out more of the first class & bespoke airline lounge and air passenger services videos! and can't remember the title but there's one in L.A. that even offers their high end customers a car & driver who takes them to an apartment on or near the airport grounds..a nice one filled with food & drinks & sweets..they have only a few so reservations are required..unless it's an unplanned, last minute request and one gets lucky that one is available ..so, no trying to get comfortable, waiting during a long layover or hours for a rescheduled flight. 😐

    • @WHERESSS
      @WHERESSS Před 5 lety +16

      actually JFK to ICN roundtrip in F on KAL is around 18k USD. so one way is 9k USD. also keep in mind that the A380 is has open Kosmo Suite and 747i has Kosmo Suite 2.0 with the doors. There is a difference in seating layout in business as well. The newer Pretige suite is pretty sweet. However the difference between Prestige and First on KAL, while being 3x in cash price, is only 25% more with miles. So when booking with cash, book Prestige, and use the miles to book in F. When looking at the complete picture, 160k miles+$300 cash for this itinerary, hard and soft product is cheap AF. If I was flying to Asia, I would just take this and connect at ICN. Another cheap option is JFK-ICN on Asiana business using ANA miles, again connecting in ICN to your final dest. I think it is about 95k(!!) roundtrip, which is another bargain. All in all, the Korean carriers provide the best redemption value for premium cabin from US to Asia.

      Obviously these two commenters dont know anything about international travel or airports. Instant ramen does not, ever, belong to a first class lounge. I'm pretty sure Koreans are able to produce actual fresh authentic Korean food, soups, dumplings, kimchi, bibimbap, all fresh and steaming with a side of international foods and pastries to go with the Korean buffet, wine, soju, champagne and other drinks. That is what many not even first class lounges have, the lounge was like a sad dark conference room that someone forgot existed, despicable

      It actually depend on what airline you use when taking first class. If you took business class, one class higher than first class there will always be a buffet in the lounge

      Also depends on the length, how much you like to sleep and what food you like. It's ok because you get to watch a load of movies and tv shows but you can't really sleep because there are small children including babies on board and the food isn't that great

    Thank you, dropped first class from my bucket list. Haven't seen to many vids that i thought were relatable, or just as pleasant as yours. You try anything and most everything for the experience and your audience. Your not so prissy, that you relate how this encounter would be if it were me. Except yes I would have had some whiskey, a whiskey sour if they had it. Those Shin noodles to me are like peach pie to others. Both a comfort food and pay mine dollars in Oregon to have here and there. I enjoyed every minute! With the differences, I think we are twenty years apart is all.

      +Mr Mistro When you fly often, sometimes they bump you up to first class just to fill the seats. It's one of the best notices in life.

    I’ve not flown them first class, but I’ve flown coach on Korean several times (NYC to Seoul), and they are by far my favorite airline. I’m hoping to have enough points for an upgrade next time around... and Inchon in my favorite airport...

    The presenter was fabulous, and very entertaining. Going to watch another first class video now. 😆

    That's terrible for first class lounge. Even business class for other bigger airlines you get full buffet at the lounges

    • @josefstalin1789

      jeanchristie it’s just a secondary lounge at an airport that’s not even a hub for Korean Airlines.
