****WARNING…if First Class photos / reports annoy / offend you, look away now!****
Ok….I have a slight fetish...I admit it! I‘m trying to fly as many different A380 F class products as possible. So far I have flown QF, EK, EY, TG and SQ. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to fly OZ (Asiana) F class product from JFK to ICN. OZ only flies their A380 F product to 3 cities from ICN, namely JFK, LAX and FRA so there are not many opportunities. Seasonally, OZ does fly the A380 from ICN to SYD but it does not sell the F class product on that route. With limited routes flown, my recent flight back from JFK (booked with Lifemiles) provided the perfect opportunity to test OZ’s A380 F product out. As I haven't done a TR in years, and as there are no OZ F A380 reports here on AFF that I'm aware off, I thought i would post one here with my thoughts.
OZ A380 has 12 F seats, 3 rows of seats in a 1:2:1 configuration. The middle seats are a good option for a couple who want to be seated next to each other.
Out of JFK, there is no priority security screening so you have to join the zoo-like TSA security screening. F passengers have access to the Swiss lounge which has both a F and J class section. When the OZ flight leaves JFK at 1340, the F section is closed so you are directed to the J section which is adequate but nothing special. Clearly OZ are not willing to pay Swiss to open the F section for its F passengers!
On board, the suites are very similar to both the equivalent SQ and EK (minus the gold glam!) products with sliding doors to make it a private cabin. Unfortunately, unlike SQ, you can’t have a double bed!
