Hi everybody. I have to go from London to the Far East and one option is to route on Asiana via Incheon. What is the experience like in Business? Lounges, Food, IFE etc.
Any insights will be very welcome. Thank you. :)

Lounge at LHR is BmI- so nothing special at all. Food is approaching restaurant quality, and service is excellent- attentive without being pushy.
Oh, and-the arrival meal is not breakfast ( as it's late lunch time in Korea- about 5 am UK time) so you get a beef kebab/ seafood type of choice as a lunch.
When you get lie-flat-but-angled beds, pretty good. (personally, I prefer older 777 cradle seats) Sometimes avod -excellent; other times not- but even so large monitors etc.
Food is normally complete around 90 mins after take-off so good opportunity to sleep (take-off 9 pm).
On return, tendency to do 3 mels, which is way over the top.
Wines: you normally opt for these at start of each flight, and they then top up throughout the meal without asking you. Bottles of water dished out after dinner on outward leg, but they walk through often with trays of drinks.
Hope that helps
ICN business lounge is better by far than bmi but food deepnds very much on time of day.
