I fully support their choice!

Asiana (IMHO) is certainly one of the best airlines I fly with. I always look forward to being on their flights; even though it is always discount economy for me, their service is impeccable! :!:

Conratulations Asiana!

A friend of mine is flying B777s for Qatar and has nothing but praise for the airline. From a pilot's perspective a really good point is the arrival of a new B777 every month :!:

There J is heeps better than Qantas for service. The biggest difference is that you the customer can have your meals whe YOU WANT TO, and on a 14 hr trip this is a big plus.

On QF they want everyone out of the way in the 1st 2-3 hrs and hate being disturbed.
