Also, I know nothing about the lounges, etc. at ICN.
I would really appreciate any input that could help us anticipate our big trip especially concerning the lounges in ICN (Arriving from HKG and connecting to the JFK flight), first class seat for this equipment, meal service, amenity kit provided, in flight entertainment, etc.
I'll keep searching the forums for more information on this flight as well, but appreciate anything anyone is willing to share.
Would suggest looking into the ICN-ORD-LGA (you will get the new first class suite).

From ICN...you will have access to the main terminal Asiana First Class lounge. Very nice lounge with massaging chairs and good abundance of food and drinks. Definitely ask the staff to fix you a ramen (bowl of noodles); it will be served in nice bowls and not in the plastic cups.
Good amount of sushi and hot foods. You will not go hungry.
Ex-ICN, you have to order the Korean or Chinese selection, since they are not part of the onboard menu; only the Western food is.
No arrivals lounge in NYC.
If you take the routing through Chicago...you will have access to the UA Global First lounge. This is add to your experience.
The ICN-NYC hard product is not the best (hopefully) they will have the new 777s flying this route next year. The soft product is the best...service is beyond any US domestic airline - rivals any of the Asian carriers. Very attentive.
