Atl - icn a380?
Hi does Korean fly from Atlanta to ICN with A380 anymore? Every time I search using award booking, it shows 777. What's up with that? any way I can try their A380 experience for F class?

Thanks!

You can route via JKF or LAX but I'd go 748i instead.

It's the Boeing 747-8i.
It has the Kosmo 2.0 suites.
Newer.
Awesome ride.

They vary by season. US destinations are A380 heavy during the summer and holiday seasons. Then generally 1 of the JFK & SFO flights is a 748i. YVR is a 747-8i during the summer and 777 otherwise. You'll have to search.

I just looked up in FlightAware back to march and KE hasn't flown anything but a 77W to ATL at all in this time range.

KE's service to ATL has really decreased in the past few years.

KE only flies a 773 ER to ATL now. Delta launched their own flight and now they are in an agreement for JV, so KE and DL agreed on this new arrangement. They used to fly 380 but agreed to go down to 773 when Delta announced their new route and partnership. 748 is rare these days. Wouldn't ever expect it.
