I know you've been stressing/ worrying/ considering a million times on whether you do the travel part or not but thumbs up buddy. It's always nice to see a bit of where you arrive when you get off the plane.
The 'Jeb Score' would've been brilliant if applied.
I found the 'lounge' in the Palace to be very well appointed with great views but when I asked for a glass of champagne and a light snack the staff did give me a strange look so I can only give them 4 stars.
The seat. Well I found the literal throne to be amazing to look at but was disappointed it had no fully flat function, 3 stars
Entertainment. Colorful, vibrant, but when I tried to plug my Bose QC20's into the drummers drum they didnt fit, 3 stars
Varied, of a good quality, I would've preferred some more western options but it tasted amazing so 4 stars
Service well the Korean people were friendly and always happy to help even when I was looking for a restaurant to eat at 5 stars
So Korea gets a more than decent 19 Stars.
Not gonna lie I just made that up on the fly in about a minute but i'm confident it fits and of course it uses my own, somewhat dry sense of humor i'll admit.

I have to have a clean bathroom! It gives me the Willie's if there's wet tile or anything else dirty. It looked like the airport, dining was under a management transfer, still uncool, not to have food service amenities. Two, three, two is ok if there's a full privacy screen. Non English influent staff, is no excuse. I know for a fact that English is spoken in Korea; and is their second language. The pilot must speak fluent English, why not the inflight crew? All the best Shaun of NYC (I wonder what service North Korean airlines looks like. Fly Kim Jong Un Airline's Lol)

I am a million miler with Korean Air. I am sooooo disappointed with Korean with respect to (1) their interior of business class cabin in general, their million miler lounge interior, and the fact that they rarely upgrade their million milers even with purchased business class ticket (Not upgraded from the economy class) to the First Class even when the business class cabin quite crowded and enough empty seats available in the the first class. I do NOT recommend to be more than 500K member with Korean Air.

Really nice review, I've tried the prestige sleeper and the prestige suites in July from singapore to seoul and on to kansai, ultimately I'd agree on the score for food (had bibimbap too and it was good) and service (the cabin crew are the best and treat you really well) that you give but maybe not the IFE since it was super dated with the latest hollywood blockbuster to be captain marvel and aquaman. Hope that you are able to try the prestige suites though, they are really private with aisle access: )

Shame about the lounge. unlike Korean Air! Welcome back Jeb. Older aircraft obviously on this flight and 2 x 3 x 2 very outdated. As you pointed out on the Jeb Score Korean can excel on some routes! Any way you arrived in one piece. reasonably refreshed. could you get a glass of wine or champagne on this leg? Nothing like a Gin and Tonic though! Well done mate and looking forward to your next flight or travel video! And they do love a drum in South Korea!

Thanks for another Korean Air review. I was a little surprised about this one getting a lot lower score. I would certainly agree about the lounge and Guam being a Star Alliance hub. Wow that place looks very dated and in desperate need of a renovation. You cant go wrong with a bibimbap on the flight. I liked the scenes of Gyeongbok Palace at the end. When are you coming back?

2-3-2 isnt good enough nowadays in business. 1-2-1 is obviously ideal but 2-2-2 or the rarer 2-2-1 are ok if its an airline that isnt as rich as other airlines. 2-3-2 though is outdated at to say that plane is only 6 years old that configuration in business class is disappointing. Suppose its ok for a 5/6 hour flight but on a 8/9/10+ it would be unacceptable in todays world.

Jeb, Id really like to hear about the flight crew. How were their PA announcements, did they talk about the route, point out anything interesting along the way and did they say anything about turbulence if any was encountered. Just for fun only, maybe rate their landings, maybe using a scale from, are we on the ground yet, to I need to see my dentist. Thanks.

I just flew Korean from Kuala Lumpur - Inchon- Ulanbataar and back. The 777ER was the same as yours. I had the steak and it was good but not great. The seat ok the IFE lousy and the service excellent. On their A330 to Mongolia very nice I was surprised for just a 3 hour flight. But all in all I was quite happy from KUL to Inchon.

Until you fly in a Business Class with a 1-2-1 configuration, you simply cant be completely satisfied.
I flew on PAL and Asianas A350-900
Id give both of those a 5/5 and Korean a 3/5.
Korean is $400 cheaper from JFK to ICN to MNL than Asiana, but $1000 less than PALs JFK to Manila nonstop.

Korean Air is my favorite airline, Usually I try to use Prestige class if available. Food is great, service excellent, I think English skills of F/A are good, never had problem. Bathrooms are sparkling clean. I don't like a new lounge in Seoul, remains me school cafeteria. Other than that Fly Korean

Hi Mr Brooks. I really like this video! Really informative. May ask with your future videos if you critique Caribbean airlines' transatlantic trip to Trinidad in business Class along with Virgin Atlantic's first class flight to Montego Bay or Air Caraibes from Guadeloupe to France

Jeb's score is 15/25 = 60%. Here is my MODIFIED JEB SCORE (where lounges are not rated when a carrier operates from an outstation where they do not operated their own lounge are are at the whim of the ground handling company operating the lounge): 13/20 = 65%.

I can inform you that after 55 prem J and F flights they would use this older non/soon to be reconfigured aircraft on more leisure routes and they DO NOt upgrade to F from J under any circumstances and one of the few airlines in the world to keep this policy.

I too have found KE inter Asia and to be focused on being Korean than an international airline. The food in economy on Japan to Korea was horrible. The interior was dated and UX for the IFE was awkward and slow. I had to punch the screen to get a response.

The planes that Korean Airlines when it comes to their regional planes like their A330 and 777-200 look and feel very old. They seem to focus more on having their international flights have a nice feel and look to them more than their regional flight.

Korean Airlines planes are always too hot. If you fly with them in the summer time be warned they will only turn on the a/c after take off. So you might have to sit on an unairconditioned plane for an hour or longer and it 90F or hotter outside.

I think Asian passengers to Guam are middle to lower middle class families who struggle to pay premium class fares, unlike those to Hawaii. Its understandable for KE to have very mediocre business class product for Guam market.

I dont know what you paid for that flight but I thought you were a bit over critical, that seat looked pretty good to me, leg room you could only dream of in economy, but as a overall package I guess it all comes down to price!

My experience with third party lounges is mostly poor. Not at all surprised that you found the one in Guam was a big disappointment. By the way, did you catch the yin-yang detail in the armrest cup holders?

TBF to Korean you were flying on a regional product (intra-Asia) from a secondary non hub airport. I assume Guam is more a leisure destination as well. So the equipment will reflect this.

I absolutely love Guam and I agree, the lounge that was formerly Continental's is a lot better. I like the addition at the end but you could possibly add some from the origin as well.

With Guam being a leisure destination, it's considered a poor man's Hawaii for the Korea and Japan markets. The competition on the route are multiple Korean LCCs.

I believe in the JebBrookeRating - the Skytrax one I think that the airlines can buy their rating.
Thank you for sharing another great video with us.

You should do a review on the Prestige suites! I liked it better then the Prestige sleepers. Better then SIA's or Asiana's newer business class!
