Looking for suggested airlines for LAX - ICN in business class.
Seat comfort, IFE, food and drink, prefer non stop. I'm a member of DL, UA and AA FFPs.
Thanks
KE (Korean Air) flies LAX-ICN nonstop, and you can credit to DL. The new seats (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=586006) are pretty decent, and there is one set of flights to/from LA that has them (KE 17). Similarly, OZ (Asiana) offers nonstop flights. Check the appropriate forums -- there's a wealth of information out there.

If you want to take nonstop, then KE is the way to go.
Lie-flat (but slanted) seat, AVOD, good food and beverage, and service.
I'd take a connection at SFO/NRT just to take SQ though. :)
I don't recommend OZ C as their seat is OLD.
OZ runs two different flights from LAX. The 747 has old seats, but if you get the 777, it should be the best option. Also, credits to UA.
Just flew Korean- make sure to get the new C seats and not the old ones. For flying experience I would however recommend Malaysian Air (although you won't get EQMs) or to earn with UA SQ is indeed a better option. I personally prefer connections as you can opt for a free stopover and often generate more miles.

Doesn't SQ fly this route? I'd go w/ them all the way, and credit your UA account.
(if they don't fly ex-LAX, they do ex-SFO...so just hop up to SFO and go from there!)
