You are on business trip , if the company that requires you to fly to ICN cant accept 400$ , then they shouldnt send people on business trips to south korea cause they know nothing about prices there and you shouldnt accept such trips at all

You might enjoy it cause both are legacy airlines but when it will be same trip with low cost carriers , trust me , it wont be funny anymore

Both use the skyteam lounge operated by IGA , which is quite ok for 2/3h max , they made few improvements recently but in general its nothing compared to TK of course

i like the b787 of SV and the new jeddah terminal and the SV lounge , but beware that during the night it can get cold there and service is reduced

For KE no idea , havent tried yet
