Honest Review of Korean Air First Class: Is It Really a Big Difference from Business Class?

Hello,

I’m Dr. Ogana, a dermatologist with 16 years of experience.

This U.S. trip was my first time

going to New York for golf and food exploration.

I’ve been to the western U.S. many times since college,

but this was my first time in the East, especially New York,

so it was a trip where I learned and saw a lot.

Ended up having to take first class...?

This time, my schedule got a bit tangled,

and I ended up flying Korean Air First Class.

I usually book business class

and upgrade with miles,

but this time there were no seats available, so I had no choice

but to pay for it.

To get straight to the point,

you should experience it at least once in your life.

Dedicated counter, private room, lounge

Everything was quiet and the very definition of relaxed.

In particular, the privacy was definitely different.

And the escort service I received for the first time

was honestly a little embarrassing. lol

The flight attendant escorted me all the way through,

and it felt like I had become a child..

Next time, I think I’ll just walk by myself^^

What I felt in first class this time

First class felt more like being treated well

than simply being a means of transportation.

The lounge was almost empty,

and soft music was playing,

so I felt at ease even before the flight.

The quality of the in-flight meal needed no explanation.

It wasn’t just a little better;

it was a completely different class.

Caviar and champagne are undeniably the best combination

From the first course, caviar and amuse-bouche.

It was served with Henri Giraud champagne,

and they paired extremely well.

“Among Korean tastes, Korean Air is still the best.”

Compared with business class, the ingredient quality,

the plating, and even the overall completeness of the flavors are different.

Especially the fact that they give you the caviar whole.

It’s a small detail,

but it definitely made me feel the class of first class.

The decisive difference between first class and business class

The lounge, meals, and service were all great,

but I think the biggest difference was the density.

1. Almost no people in the lounge

2. The level of the in-flight meal is unbelievable

3. You can choose the type of ramen

(Shin Ramyun vs. Jin Ramyun) Business class only offers Shin Ramyun,

and first class also lets you choose Jin Ramyun. My personal preference is Jin Ramyun. lol

I ordered seafood ramen,

and it wasn’t spicy and paired really well.

It was easily the best ramen I’ve ever had on a plane.

An experience that felt special because of the price

About 20 to 25 million won round trip

Almost twice the price of business class.

Honestly, it’s not worth that much.

But

if you’re someone whose condition directly affects the outcome,

I think this is not a luxury but an investment.

Because of the nature of being a doctor,

a single day’s condition can change the quality of medical care.

Amid schedules that continue from business trips to patient care and filming,

this kind of reset time was quite meaningful.

In the next post,

I’ll continue with a food tour from my New York trip.

Thank you for reading this long post.
