Asiana Club - OZ F ICN-ORD... 747... seat power and pajamas?

Just two quick questions about an upcoming flight in first, does OZ give out pajamas and will there be seat power (empower or other?).

Thanks!

For the pleasant and convenient air travel, Asiana Airlines’ Sleeper first class provides a bed of down (Duve)t and a casual pajama based on the on-demand service, so that customer can experience comfort in the cabin as much as in their home.
In addition, the Bvlgari amenity kit is given to the long-distance travelers in association with Bvlgari for convenient of the customer. The top brand giveaway will also increase pleasure of collection.



EmPower _should_ be available in first class.
From Seatguru.com
747 Pax: Some seats in First Class and Business Class seats have Empower ports. There is no power in Economy.
747 Combi: All First Class seats have an Empower power port. Some Business Class seats also have Empower ports. There is no power in Economy.

You would get awful beige color pajama:D--it's more like work work out clothes and the material is a bit thinner than Singapore's grey pajama.

PJ still have in F class, but Bvlgari seems to be gone.
No power whatsoever in any class on 744 or 74M, (they would have it in the future, but not at this moment or at least until next year) as the seats are come from the early to mid-90s, don't believe whatever source tell you unless you have flown with OZ.

Mind you as the seats are so old, PTV in some of the F seats may not even work at all. Even if it works, the quality is bad, so bad that in one of the flights I was on, FA simply turn off the entire system. One of the 74M I fly have 4 seats does not work.

I flew F on 74M in May LAX-ICN. Yes to PJ's. No to powerports of any kind. Asiana gave so much stuff away that they provided us with a shopping bag to cart it off the plane. The service is outstanding, by the way.

Yes to PJ. Powerport no. PTV yes, AVOD no. Old pair F seating.

www.seatguru.com is, unfortunately, full of errors, especially for non-US based airlines. :(

I stand corrected, thank you.

90's style seat ? I would say 80's style.
The IFE rarely seems to works on all channels. On my last flight only 2 of the channels were working at all.

Service is however in line with SQ and CX F.

Don't forget the heaving helpings of bibimbap!

In F, you can have "Royal Meal" if you are departing from ICN to the US and Europe.

I don't think so. Our experience on both ORD-ICN and ICN-ORD was that the standard Western menu included entrée choices of lobster, filet mignon, and a sautéed whitefish, along with a Korean meal choice. Departing ICN you can also pre-order from among 10-12 "Table d'Hote Cuisine" menus, each of which has its own Korean-style entrée.

There's more detail (and a photo! :cool:) at Post #18 here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=535017&page=2&highlight=IndyDavid

Are there different pajama sizes offered and are they large enough for bigger western men? (5'11" 250)

I flew ICN-LAX yesterday and got a Bvlgari kit.

My comment was posted 1 year and a half ago, many things already been changed, all 747 escept 1 now have new seats, all 777 now have the same C seat, introduction of the 3 class 777, and even the asiana brand logo had changed. There is no point to bring this really old thread up.

At the time of posting, the amenity kit did disappear for a while between the old bvlgari green tea to the bvlgari BLV they are using now. Serveral other people had reported the same thing during that time frame including some trip reports.

Yes to PJ. Powerport no. PTV yes, AVOD no. Old pair F seating.

To confirm the information provided by the previous poster, I recently flew an OZ 744Combi ORD - ICN - ORD and F had the new seats.

I think your comment is a bit old news, as ORD-ICN-ORD has started 3 class 777 since the end of November, no more 747 combi. If any flights that is using a combi, there is still a chance it could be that particular plane with old seats.

By the way, my PVG-ICN flight last week in F on a 747 was the same plane that flew ICN-LAX two hours later.

It's a great way back to the States from Shanghai.

Apparently, everything is old news to you. I flew a 747C both ways with the new seats in early November. I'm sorry that I don't exclusively fly OZ. I will try to write a letter to the DOT and see if they can take all of US Airways' domestic US routes and give them to OZ. Further, just so that you know, last minute equipment changes happen... it wouldn't be the first time that a scheduled 777 gets swapped for a 747 or 747C.

I don't fly exclusively OZ either, but love to track aircraft. 747 pax never on ORD-ICN, as there is only 2 of them. JFK-ICN is already using one, LAX-ICN occasionally also pax. If the 3 class 777 get swap to a 74M, then most likely it would be the old bird, as that one is now become a spare right now, would fly anywhere that any 74M go mechanical, as reported by someone it was used on ICN-LAX one day in october, and I checked there were 3 days in December as well using that HL7417

I am praying nothing goes wrong with my 777 ORD-ICN end of the month and middle of february, both ways in F. I am gonig to cry if I see 417, can't deal with the old seat and horrible IFE anymore.

If it makes you feel better, the OZ check-in staff at ORD is quite friendly and the ones working the F/J counters have actually experienced the new seats... if the worst happens and your flight gets swapped for the 747C with the old seats, I'm sure they will be sympathetic if you ask to change your travel plans by a day or two, subject to availability of course.

Well, can't really change much, as my final destination is HKG, not ICN, and it is a F award, you also know ORD-ICN is not daily. I think bobbybrown had mentioned the dates that I am arriving into ICN is a holiday for OZ, hence award seats are not available for ICN-HKG at all. I actually have to route through NRT with UA and NH. It would be a bad consequences if I don't take my original flights.

No availability on SQ? I know they are still releasing award seats on 744 aircraft.

Technically I can, but there is only one 744 route left and I believe is LAX-NRT, it has no F available on the dates that I want, I can't wait for too long for awads seats as UA has a 21 days close in fee. Plus I have done SQ F SFO-HKG-SFO before, they are still having the same product like several years back on their 744, unlike totally different stuff on the 77W. I want OZ as I didn't try their new seats yet.

SFO-ICN and SFO-HKG is already 77W, it has availability in Y though. I am not using miles flying Y on SQ, I would rather pay my own to fly Y on UA. UA actually pops up a very attractive fare in Y for ORD-HKG few days ago, cheap enough to make me want to cancel my award booking, but then I thought about since all the mileage redeem had increased on MP since 1/1/09, if I don't do it now I have to wrap up extra 25,000 miles for F award.

Technically I can, but there is only one 744 route left and I believe is LAX-NRT,JFK-FRA-SIN is 744. And of course there's still one 744 running LHR-SIN. That's just off the top of my head.

it has no F available on the dates that I want, I can't wait for too long for awads seats as UA has a 21 days close in fee. SQ F is worth the fee.

JFK-FRA-SIN is 744. And of course there's still one 744 running LHR-SIN. That's just off the top of my head.

SQ F is worth the fee.

Remember I am on a F award, I had already ticketed with 120,000 miles, with routing change dramatically, I believe I may have to pay the change fee plus up to 50,000 extra miles, or even have to book two separate award ticket. There is a limit of distance that I can travel for awards. Most prefer routing for ORD-HKG through atlantic is ORD-LHR-HKG, or ORD-FRA/MUC-HKG. I also have to arrive before 1/26 (chinese new year) in HKG, since I had already ticketed through OZ F with desirable dates, I am more than satisfied with that. SQ will be another time when they open up the new F for awards on 77W (who knows when will they do that ?). Thanks for all the encourgement to fly SQ.
