Asiana - New Long Haul Business Class



Asiana- Star Alliance - Republic of Korea

Asiana has announced that it is introducing a new business class on services operated by its brand new Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft.

This includes:

New seats which recline flat to 167 degrees with 60 inch room between seats.
15 inch monitors with AVOD (30 movies)
Internet access
Larger bathrooms with full length mirrors

Conclusion?
A good step forward, Asiana is catching up with Korean Air, with angled lie flat seats. Competitive with most regional carriers, it brings Asiana up to the standard for most major international carriers. This should improve its long haul Business Class seat rating from 3 to 4 stars, but as an otherwise 4 star rated airline by Skytrax, and with live internet access on board, Asiana is not only a serious contender for flights to and from South Korea, but also for transit through Seoul's new Incheon Airport.
