I have now been to three Asiana domestic lounges - Gimpo, Jeju and Gwangju. They have uniformly been horrid. They are located before security, have no food offerings to speak of, and only offer small cans of soft drinks, cans of Maxwell House (yes, really) and what I assume are some sort of energy drinks. And a water cooler. They are all tiny with no views except Jeju which has a quite spectaular view of the runway and apron activity. I don't understand the concept - yes, Asiana is only Economy Class on domestic routes but surely something better would be appreciated by their Elites if they're going to bother at all.

I have also been disappointed by the Asiana main lounge at ICN. There were no power outlets by the tables where it would seem appropriate for peole working on laptops, etc. They were only by the chairs. And the lounge can get so crowded that they constantly run out of items - they can't keep up.

I will however say that I have found Asiana on-board service to be just excellent. So this is not all a rant.
