Asiana Club - PVG-ICN return -- what aircraft?

I've seen both 777s and 744s.

Which aircraft (/flights) have the new J seats?

All 330s have new J seats, but if 330 is not on PVG, never mind.

Currently 1 or 2 747 pax versions are under upgrading. Most probably new J seat will be installed, but I think what you saw on PVG-ICN is 747 combi versions which with old J seats.

Out of 9 777s, 3 or less than 3 777s have old seats, so you'll have at least 67% chance to have new J seat if you choose 777.

There's a "but": the 747 have VERY old seats, 80's sort of vintage, like a big chair. The 777 "old seats" are a completely different game altogether- electric cradle seats.
The two are really different.

The new J is, as I'm sure you know, of the lie flat and slide to the floor variety.

Thanks for the info, ethelman and bobbybrown. :)

How does Asiana compare to KE on this route?

Pretty much the same IMHO. I prefer OZ but the difference isn't that great. If you want a different experience, MU is flying this route as well.

Also: 366/5 are listed as "Boeing 777-200/300".

Is that it?

I told you it is a different experience! :rolleyes:

Luckily you didn't have to survive one of their ancient A300s just held together by enough stickytape to double the take off weight.
