Asiana A380 Business Suites Review: Seoul - Bangkok

Get hold of your TESSAN travel adaptor today!

In this video I take Asiana in their Business Suites - their old first class product. What's it like to fly these plush enclosed suites on a 5 hour flight? I went to the expense of finding out... and I have mixed feelings!

i love your reviews they’re so relaxing and informative

[Thesmellofrain-ho]

The fake books were the best! No, they weren’t the classics! Something must have been lost in the translation. -You are the best! I always look forward to your videos and your sense of humor.

[Calcouk]

First time ever ... I liked the sponsor product. As usual a well narrated, shot, edited and informative video Paul.

[coach_sherif]

Bad or good service onboard, your videos still hit the mark. Good job mate!

I flew this from ICN to FRA when it was still proper first class. Great experience. Nice video Paul!

[SuperalbsTravels]

hi paul good video thanks for sharing btw i am flying asian business class soon from seoul to another airport 👍👍👍

[johnmurray]

I love Seoul! I’ve done two trips out there from BHX - both in business class - Lufthansa (awful, despite the experience of being upstairs on the wonderful 747-8) and more recently with Qatar - wonderful!

[scottyerkes]

Great one Paul, did you know there is now a brand new lounge at Newcastle airport just opened.

[stevebrittain]

I remember when they opened the check-in desks at Paddington (yes, they had them at Victoria for years!) and thinking "oooh, I should try that sometime." Unfortunately, September 11th had other ideas...

[ohheyitskevinc]

I’d have spent time trying to confuse the lounge staff by sitting there pretending to read the fake books 😂 great video as always Paul!

[hanj]

For LAX route or any other long haul route yes

[Calebs_Aviation]

Excellent video Paul! I REALLY LOVED THIS ONE! The Asiana 🇰🇷 Airbus A380 ✈️ SEEMS GREAT quite a rarity to find an A380 on such a short flight but I’d still take it! Also is it irony that the chapter card labeled 7:47 is whe your boarding the A380!? 😂 I can’t help but think of the last time you flew the Asiana First Class (now Business Class Suites) on HL7428 the sadly now retired Asiana 747-400! 😢 Was that sold the same as this flight with First Class now sold as Business? Also at 4:11 isn’t that Asiana livery GORGEOUS especially on their 747 (freighters only now) and A380 but even the beautiful A350-900! 🤩 I miss the Asiana passenger Boeing 747-400 my favorite 747 variant and so sad she’s all gone now luckily Korean Air still flies some passenger 747 aircraft although only the B747-8 with their -400s also now retired! 😅
Cheers 🥂 mate what a FABULOUS video! 😊

Amazing content! I love watching your videos!

[paulineparsons]

I'm sure you get there...be patient people x

[letranger]

Great video, airlines eventually make that hard decision to park some of their jets to update them. A new fresh color theme, (free) fast Wi-Fi, usb-c take time, the competition can be as intimidating as it can be motivating. Thank you, safe flights.

Asiana’s color scheme is definitely unique, and definitely different from Korean air

Beige, but with pops of the traditional Korean tricolor of yellow, red & blue
