Good legroom. I am short, and I managed the 12 hour flight without reclining my seat despite the passenger reclined. Flight attendants were nice. They went to fetch green tea for me when they were serving red tea. They also handed out pens when I needed one to fill in customs declaration form. Passengers were 90% Koreans. The whole flight was very calm and quiet. Kudos for the crew keeping the toilets very clean. Korean options for flight meals were great - bibimbap for dinner and rice porridge for breakfast - healthy and easy to digest.

One of the best airlines I have ever been. Attentive, friendly staff and food on airplanes is great too. More spacious than Air Canada and staffs are friendlier and more genuine. Please maintain this standard without increasing the airfares! Will definitely love to travel on Korean air again!

There isn't much to say except that a few of the flight attendants weren't particularly friendly. They tried to conceal their rudeness while still attempting to appear professional. When I requested milk for my child, the person I spoke to didn't seem happy to assist and gave off an attitude without fully expressing it.

6 hrs nostop of turbulance on a 12 hr flight with people getting sick ad the plane felt like it was going to fall apart. It was so bad that the PC in my baggage was destroyed and it was packed with extra protection. I feel lucky to be alive. There was no calming by the flight staff and even the stewardesses seemed in distress.

This was the best flight I've had in years or possibly ever. The flight crew were so genuine and attentive. The economy seats are a bit bigger than Air Canada which I usually fly with, and the food was excellent. Great choices of Korean dishes (which I chose) and others, and they definitely kept people well fed. Snack bar that is open for free most of the flight and the aircraft was very clean - every time I used the washroom it seemed to have been wiped down as it was much cleaner than most airplanes. Also, the flight itself was so smooth going both ways and you can tell that Korean Air takes pride in giving their customers a comfortable trip. The service level was much higher - hard to describe, but I would definitely fly with them again whenever possible.
