Check in time ICN
 

I will fly EK323 ICN - DXB scheduled to leave 23.55 hrs. For some reason I will be at the airport as early as 7.30 pm. Unfortunately I will have more than carry on luggage this time.

At what time EK will open check in, how long will I have to wait sitting on my suitcase? Will fly F if this should help in any way.

Thanks for your feedback!

it will be t-3 unfortunately - its not too early just grab a coffee or beer or try to arrive later - flying F is a good idea if you want some rest.

Check-in counterin ICN opens 4h before departure. They do have a luggage storage at the airport - 6h for a large luggage is around 7000KRW/6USD. 24h would be 9000KRW/8USD

Try not to arrive too early if at all possible.

I've had late night flights on both EK & KE and I found that the retail/dining services start shutting down around 8-8:30 PM. When I took EK, they were using the totally under-whelming KE lounge in the satellite terminal.

I will be flying next week now. It seems that EK has no own lounge in ICN, website states Asiana F Lounge as partner lounge.
As I will have a lot of time to kill: are there any other option I can try?

I liked the Priority Pass lounge (3rd party vendor) it closes a bit earlier, and has some hot food options including their take on bulgolgi. However IMO this is too early of an arrival for this flight.

If I recall correctly it's only the OZ F lounge in the satellite terminal not the main terminal?

Correct.
