I was going to Japan with Delta Airline but missed my flight due to unfortunate event. Since they are partner they sent me to Korean airline, beside being 5 hours late, Korean airline was amazing ! Even in economy/comfort class food was good, comfy, a bit hot in the plane to be honest but Koreans seemed to be comfortable. I was in a country where temperature was -30 Celsius when I left so 23-25 Celsius in the plane was hot ! Flight arrived late and we got stuck in Korea, they don't fly after midnight. We were offered a 5 star hotel with breakfeast, too bad the flight the next flight was at 5 AM so couldn't enjoy that food. In Korea and Japan, you can't enter the country unless you willingly give your finger prints, facial picture, height weight etc, living address, temporary living address in their country and a visa stamp on your passport. Don't overstay their tourist Visa if you ever want to go back there.

What's been your experience with turbulence? My stepfather was a government aircraft inspector. He was always very critical of commercial and private aircraft. In his opinion "there's little or no excuse for it". From my first flight I've experienced it probably on 75% of my trips. Some bad and mostly unnoticeable unless you were feeling to see if the flight was smooth. Key word smooth. In Dad's opinion they should almost always be smooth. He said there's always the possibility of a freak occurrence but in reality if the aircraft is flown correctly and maintained there should be none. He said the engineering of commercial jets is so impressive you should feel like you're floating at all times.

same layout as JAL's Business. I like this kind of layout. Window is so much better than aisle in this layout. Its like a private cabin. JAL has some good storage but not enough at take-off and landing. Kept my computer with me and it slid out of the foot storage. Not a ton of bedding in COVID-19 but I found that often during take-off there is no place to put it. Feels odd to be in business and having to hold a big pillow and blanket.
