the meal options for flights out of the US were generic (hot dog, spaghetti, etc.) and the options for flights out of ICN (e.g., bulgogi) seemed better.
not sure how it works for Prestige class however. traveled a couple years ago with a toddler in Prestige and don't remember if we preordered the toddler meal, I just remember my toddler getting the regular meal and feeling like it was semi ridiculous (the salmon appetizer, the cheese course, etc... I ended up eating double and my kid ended up just filling up later on the sandwich/pizza snacks lol).
Thanks for the input! I will definitely be ordering the kids meal for my toddler. I can't imagine them getting a full course and even wanting to eat any of it. Maybe just the rice from the bibimbop and dessert 😂 And I definitely would not want to double eat. I'll try to remember to take photos of the kids meal and amenities.
Oh and if you don't mind me asking, how did your toddler do in prestige? Our flight back is via ICN>LAX on the a380 upper deck in the older sleepers vs Apex suites on our flight out from SEA.
