DL 26, ICN-ATL, 1 JAN 2018
Seat 10A

Good crew on my side/cabin. Korean FA was extremely polite and efficient and the purser who also helped out on my side was personable and friendly throughout. Got the Korean mean and was not disappointed. Tasty bibimbap and banchan. Apps were okay, with the asparagus rolls being exceptionally tasty. Mid-flight burger was removed from the bun by me as I assessed that to be a mess waiting to happen and a soggy one at that. It was okay with the toppings and ketchup/mustard added, though I would have liked mayo. The potato salad was fine, but very more like a cold, well-seasoned mashed potato than anything. The snack basket was nicely stocked during the flight so no worries on that. Good munchies available. Pre-arrival teriyaki chicken was actually very good, despite appearance. Probably the moistest chicken I've had on a plane before, and the veg atop it were all tasty and not overcooked/mushy. Rice was meh, but improved greatly by the gochujang and a healthy dose of salt.

Good flight, and while these seats are definitely aging (according to longboater they'll be gone entirely sometime around Q4 2018 and replaced with the nice suites I got on the way over), it was way better than sitting down back would have been I'd imagine. I slept about seven hours I think, but tossed and turned a few times due to the less comfortable seat padding.
