Korean Air Skypass - First class on ICN-TPE?

I'm comparing flying CX vs. KE for a one way ICN-TPE flight. The key attraction of KE is that they offer F on the morning A330 flight and it's only $80 more than Business. Any comments on the quality of the regional F product, and F lounge facilities at ICN?

Id go for it. Their C Class product to TPE was great.. Im guessing F would be even better, although I was onboard an A300 that had an A330 Cabin Retrofit. The C class and Y class seats were same as A330

Well, I wouldn't choose "great" to describe KE's regional/old C seats. Perfectly fine for a short haul flight (less than 3 hours) but not suitable for a red-eye flights between BKK-ICN or SIN-ICN.

If I remember correctly, F seats (non lie-flat older version on A333s/773/772s) are just as wide as C seats (perhaps a bit more wider, half an inch?), similar looking (with different color fabric), a bit more recline and leg room as compared to C seats. But then again that small extra recline can be miles of difference ;)

With 80 USD difference, I'd go for F service/F cabin, but anything more than that for a flight lasting about three hours or less is a waste of money, in my opinion.

:td:At least its better than the flights OZ offers on their 767's!! :eek: :td:

Also, compared to service standards im used to in the usa.. this was amazing!

I don't about that. Having flown both at least three times or more in C (OZ 767 C vs KE's older C seats), I completely disagree that there is even a remote difference between these two seats. I would not classify any one of them "better."

Service standards on KE is indeed far superior to any of the US carriers or even European carriers - this I agree. Again, if you compare OZ and KE on this matter, I can't say one is better than the other.
