Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Botanic Park (2026)

8/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑) Even though it was a short domestic flight of just over an hour, the ability to use the lounge, priority boarding, and spacious full-flat Prestige seats made it highly satisfying. The in-flight service was simple with just drinks, and the older entertainment system was a pity, but for a domestic business class, it was an experience well worth the money.

6/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑) It was a direct flight but a unique one with a stopover in Rovaniemi. The service was simple, just water and blueberry juice, but thanks to the row 1 bulkhead seats and a crew that carefully prioritized safety, it was an acceptable short-haul European flight with no major inconveniences.

7/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑) Thanks to the A380's signature spaciousness, full-flat Business Smartium seats, and decent food and beverage offerings, it was a comfortable journey. However, the age of the seats and overall service was noticeable, and the fine details fell short of its past reputation.

8/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑) It was a satisfying modern ryokan equipped with a private open-air bath in the room, excellent large public baths, private reservable baths, and various free snacks. The dinner had a long dining time and some underwhelming dishes, but considering the clean facilities, hot springs, and the relaxing atmosphere of the mountain-view room, it was a great stay to recharge.
