This makes the window seat even more private – it kind of feels like a mini suite. The new business class product has staggered window and aisle seats. As mentioned above, I had selected window seat 11J. The business class section was only about a third full. Once boarding began, the process was fairly efficient. The flight was delayed about an hour as the incoming flight from Korea was late. The new suites feel more spacious and more comfortable then the old ones, and if you book the window seat, far more private. It’s worth noting that the difference between the two business class products is fairly substantial. The layout for the old business class product is in a 2-3-2 setup as shown here: Old business class product layout 2-3-2 The new business class product is in a 2-2-2 layout, as shown here: New business class product layout 2-2-2 If you are flying on a Korean Air 777, you can tell if you have the new or old business class product based on the seat layout.

I had selected a window seat near the back right of the business class compartment.

Washington Dulles (IAD) to Seoul Incheon (ICN) Meanwhile, my exact ticket was selling for over $4,000. I consider 75,000 miles to be an incredible bargain, especially when paid tickets in regular economy on this flight can cost upwards of $1,000. This is one of the best Chase partners and one of the reasons the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card is so valuable. I had about 40,000 SkyPass miles in my Korean Air account from prior flights on the airline, and I was able to transfer the remaining 35,000 miles instantly from my Chase Ultimate Rewards account. I booked my one way business class ticket from Washington DC to Singapore using just 75,000 Miles + $34. Unfortunately, the second leg of the trip had Korean Air’s older business class hard product. The trip included a very long flight from Washington DC to Seoul and then a shorter, but still irritatingly long flight from Seoul to Singapore.įortunately, the longer flight included Korean Air’s new business class suites product. Coming back to Singapore after the holiday’s, I decided to take advantage of the generous award availability on Korean Air and book myself in business class. Further, the airline’s updated website makes award booking – a process that used to be incredibly arduous – easy.

Unlike a lot of airlines these days, Korean Air offers great business and first class award availability at reasonable redemption rates.
