Forget going to Korea! (although it's a very nice place, highly recommended...) but they're trying to scoop up transit traffic. If I had a baby and were flying to somewhere in Asia/Australia... all that would be very tempting!

While it's great that they're providing seats, if I needed a seat at my destination and it weren't too unreasonable (like alone with lots of kids) then I would still like the option of bringing my own. I hope they still allow that. I also hope the seats aren't too nasty. We all know what kids are capable of in airplanes!

What I would love to see would be a service to take the own passengers' car seats to the door of the aircraft, where the passenger had the option of using it on board (provided there was a seat available/purchased) or gate-checking them. Wouldn't that be great?!?

Same with the hooter-hider handouts. Terrific, but I hope they don't require moms nursing to cover up. Honestly, my sling worked better at covering up my little ones than anything sold for this reason.

I can't believe that women would nurse in the toilets. Perhaps that's a cultural thing but I never saw that in 13 years of a Flight Attendant (some of that in Asia, but with two American companies). I pumped in the toilets when I worked but that was different...

At least it sends the message "It's okay to nurse on our flights", which is very welcome!

Bravo Korean Air for making some real progress in this area and thanks for sharing!
