Sorry to bump his thread.

Flying HKG-ICN in C and ICN-LAX in F. Are we able to pre order meals for either of these flights?

Thanks

How does one pre-order meals? Is there a way on the Asiana website?

You have to call the "Premium Service Center". In the USA, the number is +1 (213) 365-4577.

Just for the record, I have been calling this number for several days now, without success. At this very moment I have been on hold for 43 minutes and counting..."all our agents are on the line, your call is very important to us"...
Giving up now.

Anybody else had similar experiences?

afmiami, How about try their reservation number?
(800) 227-4262
option "2" English
option "5" reservations and ticketing
option "#" not a member and a friendly voice answered "Hello, Asiana" in 2 seconds
I called them couple weeks ago for my ICN-FRA F seat assignment. Before I hangup, the lady who helped me reminded me to call them one month before my departure date to pre-order my meals.

Thank you, it worked. I pre-ordered my meal, same flight ICN-FRA, however I could get only one choice, the rest on board, at least she said so.

Anyone with follow up to the do or don't pre-order ex ICN in F? On the way in on NH F, I cherry picked the Japanese and Western menus, which I enjoyed. I'd like to do the same here but it sounds like there might not be any Korean meals on board without pre ordering?

PointsCentric

We didn't order anything but here is the menu I had an agent email me before our trip. She said you can only preorder Korean food departing ICN.

Of course there will be a Korean meal. Pre-order just allows a wider range of options than the Korean selection on the menu.

We just stepped off JFK-ICN in F and had a wonderful experience overall. We did not pre-order and my wife was able to get the Korean meal as pointed above (and really enjoyed it).

Flight was superb overall - the mid-flight snack of spicy ramen knocked my socks off!

Enjoy your flight (be prepared for the warm temps though - we requested the FAs to turn the temp down a bit).

Are there any personal air vents on JFK-ICN in F? If I can point the vent to me, I usually can get by. Maybe change into shorts and a short sleeve shirt? Like being at a hot beach?

BF263533

Agreed, wonderful experience overall!!!!!! They did have a personal air vent in the first class suite so I was able to point that towards me to help keep my body temp down.

For champagne, they had the Pol Roget 2000 Winston Churchill & a few bottles of 1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires. Great food & wines.

The only bad thing was that the man sitting in the seat in front of me took ill mid-Pacific, with initial symptoms of a heart attack. A family member travelling with me stabilized him and monitored his vitals for the decision to land or not land in Anchorage. Passenger's wife was brought up from coach after 90 minutes. I suggested she take my seat behind her husband to help monitor him and the crew agreed. Helped the wife move her stuff to first, and I took the one open first seat. We made it to JFK with the patient a lot better. Helping with the medical emergency was stressful, but a great relief that he recovered.

That does sound very stressful. Good on you and your family to help out though, very admirable behavior!

SOLTATIO

I do hope that the passenger was flying F for work and that is why his wife was in Y as he had brought her along. If that is not the case and she suddenly realised the difference between her coach seat and the F seat he secured for himself, he might be okay after the in-air incident but he won't be okay after she gets hold of him on the ground.

DudeOnTheRun

Flying on miles, this is the last leg (IAD-PEK, PEK-ICN, ICN-HAN). My wife and I are travelling, this whole trip will be her first in first, which will be great because that's a LOOOOONG trip!!

Question is, we currently have 4E/F (that middle pair). Others are available. I could get 2K/3K, 3A/4A (so we both have windows), or 4A/E (but I think the middle pair doesn't align with the window seats, right?). Or, I could go upstairs and get a pair together on either side, 8J/K, 9A/B, 9J/K, 11A/B, 11J/K.

5.5 hour evening flight, after a 2 hour flight after a 19 hour flight.

Recommendations???

Thanks so much!
