Korean Air KE1174 Jeju-Gimpo A330 Prestige (Business)

7/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑) The service was limited to simple drinks and snacks, but the spacious seating, personal monitor, free Wi-Fi, and efficient boarding process were impressive. The slight delay and lack of priority baggage handling for companions were a pity, but it was a very satisfying flight for domestic travel in Japan.

7/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑) Compared with an international flight, this was a much simpler economy experience, but the spacious seat, personal monitor, external camera, complimentary Wi-Fi, and even consommé soup made it surprisingly enjoyable. Even on a short domestic route, Japan Airlines’ attention to the basics was easy to appreciate.

8/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑) This was a well-rounded Courtyard, best known for its views of the Seoul Botanic Park and convenient access to Magongnaru Station. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, breakfast was decent, and Marriott elite benefits made the stay even more rewarding. With only a modest range of facilities, it worked better as a base for exploring the surrounding area than as a destination for a full hotel staycation.

10/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕) The best lounge, overwhelmingly spacious seating, highly refined in-flight meals, excellent liquor selection, and attentive service made this an extremely satisfying flight, easily one of the best First Class experiences available on a single-decker today.
