Anyone able to advise if Asiana has kept to the roll out flight schedule of the new C seats as posted on their site? I am scheduled to be on the first LHR-ICN departure on 1st June. Have requested seats and they advised that it wasn't a Smartium aircraft but am hoping that they just haven't updated the seat map. Anyone out there with additional data points?

I'm thinking you probably will not have QS on your LHR-ICN flight.

Thanks.
Will have to hope that they do keep to the schedule that they have on their website which shows the first Smartium service to Seoul from London is June 1st.

Maybe!
I'm flying business on Asiana to LHR in August- have already chosen seats online. SYD-ICN has 4 rows, ICN-LHR has 5 rows. SYD-ICN = Oz Quadra Smartium!!

Phoned OZ who advised that 8th June was Smartium service, but seat map doesn't reflect this.

Grr. Had to change my flight to the following Wednesday. As above, schedule on OZ site said that 1st June was the first LHR Smartium service, but does not appear to be the case.

Equipment swap - SFO-ICN May 22
I just flew C from SFO to ICN and was expecting the Smartium seats but unfortunately there was an equipment swap to the old seats. anyone know if this is temporary or permanent? I fly back to SFO on May 27 and will report what seats I get.

How are these seats for tall people?
I am just over 6'4" and it appears that the seat is only about 6'2". My shoulders are also quite broad and given the cocoon shell style could this be an issue too?
I am of course assuming that the QS seats will be running SFO-ICN in September on a daily basis.
