<BR>Flew Asiana to Bangkok from NY in April. Having never flown that distance before, the times were a bit difficult for me -- leaving NY (on a Wed.) at midnight (after working all day), arriving Vancouver 2:30 a.m., arriving Seoul 6:30 a.m. and finally arriving Bangkok 3:40 p.m. (2 days from when I originally left). The flights were very good and 1/2 empty going. Unfortunately, I left Bangkok on a Sunday and the flights were packed the entire way back to New York and the plane was not a 747. Staff was very good. Take my advice -- don't travel weekends, and double check flight times. Each way the flight was 1 hr. later than first scheduled. I would fly them again as they were the least expensive for that distance. Happy traveling!

While my wife and I are not travel experts, we can report on the excellence of Singapore Airlines. We bought our tickets about four months in advance from a consolidator and paid about 1,100 for RT from Washington, D.C. to NY then SIngapore Airlines RT to Bali. <BR>The flights were long but having the individual screen in front of oneself to select movies, nintendo, etc. was a big help. We also had more than enough to read. The food was superb and their repuation for excellent service was well deserved.

flew them 3 weeks ago from Seoul to Cheju. <BR>very attentive like most foriegn carriers, and like many of the asian airlines these days, a spanking new and clean fleet of a/c. <BR>I dont think that you are going to miss anything by not flying KAL or whomever you're going to be using. <BR>
