The long anticipated first flight of Korean Air’s A380 took place last week. The sixth airline in the world to fly the plane after Singapore, Qantas, Emirates, Air France and Lufthansa, the first flights were from Seoul (ICN) to Tokyo and Hong Kong

Korean have ordered ten A380s. Five will be delivered this year and the next five not until 2014.   They have configured the plane to have the least number of seats of all the airlines flying it (414) with the top deck being all business class with 94 seats. The lower deck has 12 First Class and 308 economy seats.

Korean Air’s next routes will be:

• Seoul- Bangkok (July)
• Seoul- New York (August)
• Seoul-Paris (September)
• Seoul- Los Angeles (October) which is when I plan to fly with them!
