Cheers.
Asiana and Korean Air have daily flights IIRC.

No BA service on this route

Busiess Class wise, I think Asiana use the 747 on this route which are equipped with their old J seats, i.e. not the new angled lie flat seats a la TG/SQ.

As for Korean Air, they operate with their Cocoon business class seat, which is effectively an angled lie flat product.

Both airlines have fantastic lounges in what is, IME, a very easy and hassle free airport to transport yourself around ^
