Economy Plus was great for us. The only are that could use improvement is the food quality.
The cabin was immaculate, attendants were friendly and efficient. The food selection was appropriate for the flight length.
Starlux is good, however the late boarding from Sea to PHL was frustrates. But it's nice for Alaska to owner the agreement with Starlux.
Nice plans, good food, nothing to complain but the entertainment are out of date programs.
The flight staff was wonderful, especially Jessica, who was extremely friendly and attentive. The food on the plane was ample and delicious. The only negative experience I has was that I was pulled aside for an enhanced security screen at the gate, after my ticket was scanned and I lost my place in line for boarding and went from number 3 in line for zone 1 boarding to actually getting on the plane with the zone 2 and zone 3 travelers. I was almost dead last in getting into the business class section. That's a lot of money to pay for a business class ticket to get pulled aside for nothing.
Counter personnel were friendly and professional. Assured me my bag would reach Bangkok without having to get it and recheck it for my international flight from Seattle. Also printed out all of my boarding passes for my trip.
Was not able to buy wifi on the plane given, not available for economy tickets. Was not clear when buying the ticket that this was the case.
The food was amazing good especially for evonoply. The seats were comfy more then usually..crew was very nice and helpful.
The overall experience with STARLUX was phenomenal. One of the best highlights for me was the smooth landing in LA(smoothest landing I’ve experienced ever) and the attentiveness of all your staff from check-in to boarding. Also, flight left and landed between airports on time. I highly recommend Starlux to my family and friends and I’m excited to fly with you again.
We are scare because almost missing the fligh from Seattle to San Diego ! Starlux not have enough members for servicing with wheel chairs? We almost left behind , so we must walking !?
The business class is excellent. I loved the food, and the crew was very attentive and professional. From boarding to arrival, everything felt smooth and well-organised.
AAAAHHHH... It was shocking in a very positive way, the attention to detail, the courtesy, the manners of all personnel on board, the constant honest smiling. You can see and feel they take pride in all they do no matter how trivial. The plane in general was very comfortable. I can't wait to do it again
Great service and comfort level. You can have more of vegetarian food options.
It’s great, long flight and arrive safe at destination
Everything was excellent as I expected. They also had a very caring crew. I had a headache and asked a Tylenol. The crew members kept checking with me how I was doing.
They were trying to get people to check luggage because the over head compartments were full but when we boarded there were lots of empty places that people could have put the luggage.
I can't believe they put my wife and I in the two middle seats! It is a very long flight and we had single flyers on either side of us blocking the way to the bathroom! There's no reason to not give one of us the isle seat so we could have managed bathroom needs and snacks with convenience. So I think very poorly of Korean air to put us both in the middle, I've never had that happen before and will probably avoid this airline in the future because of this. We tried to have them change it but they didn't so you pretty much lost a customer because of it.
One of the flight attendants stepped on my foot. I was on the aisle seat. A lady inside needed to get out. So Instood. Just then, a flight attentendant came wuicklybtheoughbthe aisle and stepprd on my sock covered toes. I let out a small sound. She stopped momentarily, but didn’t ask how I was just took off of the aisle. Never came back to see how I was. Fortunately, I was not really hurt other than a slight soreness in my toes. But I found that to be very negligent.
Korean Air is unlike any other major airline I have flown with. The grace and respect that the staff has from check in to de-boarding is unmatched. The flight attendants this time were especially wonderful to my five little children. They helped us rearrange to more suitable seating, brought our children’s meals, and patiently waited for them in the aisles when they had to use the bathroom. We felt so welcome and comfortable. I really appreciate the meal voucher when our flight was delayed. I am grateful to have had such an stress-free experience.
It's good overall. Flight was packed. Inflight entertainment choices were lacking.
We sat on the tarmac in Denver for over 30 minutes because a plane was in our gate. The pilot kept saying it will just be 5 minutes or less. However, we sat for over 30 minutes. Experiences like this make customers not trust what the pilot is saying.
Waited on tarmac for approximately 15-25 minutes before taking off. When landing, the time it took to taxi to our gate was the also 15-25 minutes.
Waited on tarmac to take off for approximately 15-25 minutes. When landing, the taxi to our gate took a similar amount of time. This happened on both of my United flights.
The plane was so old. I paid a ridiculous amount to fly business and there was no internet for six hours! This can't be happening in 2026 and especially in cross country flights where there are a high volume of business travelers.
The seat that I got this time is really good.
The Manila airport was under renovation so there was no business class lounge. The double security check was disorganized and the flight attendants were grouchy.
The head flight attendant made the trip excellent. He was very accommodating.
Our seat tv didn’t work All the rest was perfect
737 Max was leaking water into the cabin through the windows. Overhead bins opened on landing. Bad bad plane.
I like that it was a direct flight from MNL to SFO but it was such an old plane with worn out facilities. I bought my ticket in first week of November but I still had to pay extra $54 just to get aisle seat 38C. Realizing it was a long 12+ hour flight, I tried to find exit row or bulk head seat but none was available. I was forced to pay another extra $175 to get seat 35C which was shown as "Economy Plus" which I expected to be more legroom, more seat recline and better food. When I reached seat 35C, it wasn't any different from an ordinary economy aisle seat, to my utter dismay! No extra legroom, not extra degree recline, no better food, not even slippers! I felt cheated paying extra $229 and didn't get the supposedly better "ECONOMY PLUS" 35C seat! Besides, I still had to board in group 5! Toilets weren't kept clean and dry. More senior flight attendants weren't as attentive and prompt during meal service. Many times they brushed the carts right into my shoulder or knee. To help them out, I also had to walk up to the galley to get water myself. Now I worry about my return DEN/NRT which I paid extra $300 for United Premium Plus 21C if it is indeed Premium Plus!
