Korean Air vs Asiana: Business Class to Seoul

[flyertom]

Does someone know what these two products are like? Do they both have a fully flat bed product rather than an angled-flat product? Is one better than the other?

Has anyone seen a review of either product?

Thanks

I haven't flown either of them in business class however however if you can get to choose first class, here's my review of both OZ and KE:-

I've flown OZ numerous times SYD to ICN. Service is very good but the hard product isn't. I don't know if Korean is better.

Flown OZ to ICN, excellent service and meals. Cabin similar to the VA C2C product. Sloping lie-flat. Ok for the day flight to ICN, not good enough for the lengthy overnight return.

I've done the KE business into Asia. Was a couple of years ago but as with OZ the service was excellent, but the hard product wasn't amazing.

OZ currently fly two types of planes to SYD, A330-300 and B777-200. I think both still have only angled-flat beds in J.

Travelled OZ on both A330 & 777 a couple of weeks ago. Very impressed with the service, but both angled lie flat. The other notable con was the movie on loop situation on the A330.

Good TR Alanslegal. I'm doing the same flight to FRA in December and next year suites to NYC
Looking at the photos, OZ F lounge looks very similar to their J lounge. I hope it's better because I thought the J lounge was a bit boring.

Nope. it's equally as bad! The lounges are essentially the same, with the same poor food choices. I found out one day the F lounge has tomato juice and the J lounge doesn't. But that's about as exciting as it gets.

At ICN the (new) OZ lounge is far superior to KE's.
