I just returned from ICN this morning. Before departing, I checked out the KE lounge (based on this thread). I went to the lounge in the east portion of the terminal and it was great. I have a couple of hours before my flight left so I took my time sampling the food. They had a great food selection (catered by the Hyatt). Lots of drink choices (green tea, coke, coke light, water, oj, etc). As for alcohol, they did have a couple of wines and hard liqour. I did like their view of the ramp area and the main runway though one small complaint is the design of the building. At least from my vantage point, there is a cross beam that is right at eye level is you are sitting down at the tables near the windows. It blocks the best view but obviously all you have to do is stand up to catch a majority of what is happening outside. I did venture out to the west terminal and checked out the NW Worldclub. As a WC member, I had been there before. I agree it is small (only myself and 2 other people inside). I surfed a bit, checked out their snacks (only packaged snacks) and then walked back to the KE lounge. By this time, they had completely changed their food offerings. The added different sandwiches, salads, and these terrefic little meatballs. I even had time to take a shower before my flight. I definitely give it my 2 thumbs up. I doubt that I will make PE this year but going to try my darndest so I can enjoy Sky Team Elite benefits.
