How many of KE's 77W's are equipped with Prestige Suites?
I'm on KE 36 ATL-ICN in a couple weeks, and the seatmap looks like it will be Prestige Suites. ^
How many A330's have Suites?
Do any A380's have Suites? I think not.

I just posted a trip report that reviews the seat as well as the service on an ORD-ICN 77W flight:

Yes it is the new Prestige Suites (2-2-2 on 77W is always Prestige Suite)
Seat choice is partly down to personal preference - I prefer window, but if the window was not a must, then 7B is also a good choice as it's in the small cabin immediately behind F which is usually more quiet and peaceful.

I'm flying KE next month. Outbound is the A380, return is older 747.xx. What's the difference of the prestige "Suite" vs. "Sleeper" seats -- both look like flat beds?

A nudge on my question: Anyone know the current composition of the 777-300ER fleet? How many have Sleepers and how many have Suites? Which routes routinely get the Sleepers?

Ok, leaving aside the composition of the fleet, can someone say which N. America routes are routinely getting SkySuites? Is there still a page on KE's website detailing the seats on various routes, like there was a few years ago during the rollout of the lie-flat and fully flat Prestige products?

I don't think koreanair.com even has a route map, period, which in 2016 is kinda low-brow. There is a disclaimer under "onboard / classes of service" which says
"Note: Type and size of seat and its available features may vary depending on the flight route, time and aircraft."
So I guess the answer to your question is no.
as an aside, I just snagged SkyMiles award seats on SFO-ICN-MLE, with SFO-ICN being on the 748. My only other option was departing ORD on the 77W, and I was concerned about downgrades on the 77W fleet from a Prestige Suite to a Prestige Sleeper, though the seat map for a week either direction of my date of travel on ORD-ICN showed it was always the 77W with suites. YYZ and IAD had award inventory, but were showing the old sleepers. IAH was a 772. JFK and ATL didn't have award seats (shocking). I guess the solution is, if you can find a 748, take it!

I was tracking the Prestige Suites on the 748 and 77W, but for some reason I had completely forgotten that some of the A330s also featured the suites. Thus, I was completely surprised last week when both segments of my NRT-ICN-SIN flights featured the Prestige Suites. Probably the nicest business configuration of any A330, in my opinion. As an added benefit, I was the only J passenger on the NRT-ICN flight!
