While I was looking forward to the famous Air Koryo burger it probably wouldn't be enough to last me until dinner so went to an airport restaurant for lunch.


The Air Koryo Tupolev Tu-204 waiting at the gate. A relatively young 2007 model, it wasn't one of the antique Soviet aircraft the airline used to fly.


My window seat, 16A. The aircraft felt surprisingly modern and well maintained.


The first time I have seen white gloves being worn by a flight attendant!


A Hainan Airlines A330 to the left.


This afternoon's flight to Pyongyang was completely full with no spare seats.


The gentleman next to me was wearing the obligatory badge to one (or often both) of the late Kim's.
