First time coming home from Incheon, S. Korea on this airlines. Pretty flight attendants. Food served was better than airlines we usually fly on. Lights were turned off and passengers I passed were passed out. They give all passengers a pillow, blanket, headset to be left onboard and even slip ons so you can remove your footwear and be comfortable during the 7 hour flight. It was a good change to fly on this airlines. read more

"Every moment is memorable to me..." - SUGA SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA. Traveling to and fro Japan is like a neighborhood drive for me. Although we're talking about 6,475 km (4,024 mi) and 7-9 hours realtime. I usually fly Japan or Hawaiian Airlines (even Zip once) but basically the most economical window available. On a recent trek I found a really affordable flight on Asiana Airlines, tho it required a long layover in Seoul, with Asiana being a South Korean airlines. Zero f**** given, I decided to extend my legs into a long weekend in Seoul. I mean I'm a KBBQ, Soju, and Black Pink Stan so hella why not! Long story short (rare for me lol) the flight was smooth, Asiana employees all professional, nice, and efficient. I believe Korean Airlines is considered a "step-up", like All Nippon in Japan. For me, I'm okay with the basics, all I ask for is a peaceful, safe flight and a smile! Oh! And a hot meal and Kdrama! In the end, I had a nice stay in Seoul before onwards to my home in Japan. Back story: I'm no stranger to Asiana as back in the day, one of my sweetest friends worked as a flight attendant (SFO to Seoul or Tokyo) for this Asian carrier. I could be more biased and proclaim my love for Asiana, however being on her buddy pass for two years, and showing up at the airport six times, not once did I manage to get on any flights for free lol. Now I wonder if she just used me for the airport ride sigh. Such is life. Pls follow my IG adventures @eric_travel_guru read more

Asiana Airlines - Incheon Airport, South Korea. - Airlines Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

*Full Disclosure* Yelp is not available in South Korea & Thailand. This flight was from HNL-ICN-BKK on 07/01/24 and return flight BKK-ICN-HNL on 07/15/24. All my reviews on holiday are on my TripAdvisor account :-) Me and my other half last time flying on Asiana Airlines was almost ten years ago. They are one of South Korea's major airlines, with a fleet size serving international destinations serving Incheon International Airport going almost all around the world, they can get you to farther destinations on other airlines partners in the Star Alliance Team. Booking online is easy. Online check-in was seemless, and with 3 hours check-in time, it was great. Having Global Entry membership allows you to expedite security with TSA Precheck only in Honolulu or another US Airports. I must say, all the ground staff from check-in to boarding were exceptional, efficient and friendly. Service onboard was excellent. Free onboard entertainment on each seat back screens. Being seated in Economy Class, I noticed all the lunch and dinner was served silverware. For long-haul flights, I'm content. Between Honolulu and Incheon, onboard amenities included a pillow & blanket, disposable slippers, toothbrush, earphones, two complimentary meals including a mid flight snack, limited alcohol including red or white wine, and beer. Duty-Free Shopping also available. Between Incheon and Bangkok was still considered an International Flight. Amenities that are complimentary were a pillow & blanket, earphones, dinner going to BKK, Lunch on the return flight to ICN, free inflight entertainment on each seatback, and Duty-Free Shopping. Asiana occupies Terminal 1 at Incheon International Airport. When transferring to another destination, it's required you pass through another security screening as if you are entering an airport for the first time. It's a massive airport with lots of people movers, English friendly signage's, and English friendly airport personnel. Transit almost feels like a US Airport because of the amount of people transferring flights from Asiana's large route network. Maybe in the future if we're booked in Business/First Class, I'll update my review with Lounge Access and flight experience. HNL to BKK there's several airline options that you can choose from. There are no non-stop flights. If there were, it would make traveling time cut short and ideal for travelers who don't want to stop for few hours on any layovers. We were very worried flying over Japan as that was the most turbulent portion of the flight. Several times the pilots and cabin crew had to pause service and remind passengers to remain seated and refrain from using the restroom. Luckily no passengers were injured and everyone okay. Pilots flew very safe and kept us informed about our flight status. Asiana Airlines was on-time out of Honolulu. But out of Incheon, there was a small delay due to aircraft congestion on the runway. No late arrivals and no misconnection during transit. I was so glad they do proper boarding process on our flights. Always starting with people who need special assistance onto the aircraft, first class followed by economy. You have the option of a Korean Bibimbap, or western meal. Mid-flight, a sandwich was offered even while you're asleep. Another hot meal is offered prior to landing in ICN. On the 5 hour flight to and from BKK, there is one hot meal served with Bibimbap as one option, and a western meal as another. Wonderful, friendly and professional service on the flight. Beverage options were soda, fruit juices, coffee/tea, wine and beer are your complimentary alcohol. Very spacious on the B777, a bit tight and cramped on the A330 in economy. Overhead bins are wide and space is available for carry-ons. Restrooms are very nice and tidy. Your typical amenities, like lotion, cologne, face toner. I like the touch-less features on the toilet and sinks on the B777. IFE offers free movies, television shows both in Korean and English. WiFi is not available onboard. read more

I finally had the opportunity to fly Asiana Airlines and I like the airlines. I found the boarding process to be easy. The flight crew was very friendly and ensured that they attended their passengers well. I actually found them to be more attentive than the airlines I flew in November to Japan. I was surprised that they fed us well for the flight to Incheon. They served two lunch dishes and a snack. For lunch I had the Bibipap which was the right portion. It was not too large or too small so the serving size was just right. I did have trouble using the metal chop sticks provided, but I believe that is always the problem with me for the type of chopsticks. The snack I requested to have the sandwich. I was eyeing the hot ramen noodles which they are noted for, but opted not to have it. The 2nd lunch dish I opted for was the shrimp fried rice. It was a Korean version of shrimp fried rice as it was not mixed or stirred together as what I am normally used too. I was able to sleep for probably 1.5 hours on the near 10 hour flight. Praise the lie flat seats. The entertainment selection was okay. They offered a nice selection on Hollywood, Korean, Asia films and music for your disposal. I coincidentally flew on the last flight for their last 747 aircraft from ICN to TPE. The Asiana crew gathered at the gate and there was a small model 747 to commemorate the ceremony. Numerous crew members as well as aviation geeks converged at the gate. We received a commemorative gift for the send off. As the plane disembarked, the ground crew waved goodbye. When the flight landed in Taipei, the fire brigade was there shooting water at the plane with ground crew waving. Not intentionally, but I was the first person to exit the plane and there was a camera crew filming as the passengers left. It was surreal. read more

We had a very good experience flying Asiana Airlines. We enjoyed the food, especially recommend you always eat their Korean specialties, like bibimbap. The staff was very courteous and quickly got everything served and cleaned up. Landing were smooth. Only I issue I had was the extremely tight seats in economy, and I'm 5'2, 125 lb, so I'm not overly heavy. One super nice leg of trip was the 13 hr layover in Seoul that allowed to take a private city tour of a seaweed factory, Korean meal, ethnic dress up tour of their Palace and historic section of city. Highly recommend you take Asiana next time you travel--especially thru Seoul. www.booking.com read more

I went through a travel agent and it was such a shit show trying to reschedule my flights and I couldn't even look at my flight online because idk why?! They did accommodate changing my flight because of visa mishaps from Vietnam, but one of the worst airlines for scheduling. Airplane food was good though there's that. read more

The very best airlines I have ever had the pleasure of using. Especially on a long flight to Korea. Upon the opening of the ticket counters in Honolulu, the staff lines up and greets the passengers, in unison, in Korean, and a bow. It was very cool. Very friendly patient and attentive. We had a group of seven and processing us took a bit of time. One of the pieces of our luggage got flagged and the agent escorted my niece to the evaluating room. After the doors to the plane have closed, the staff aligns throughout the plane and greet passengers, in unison and in Korean. In Business Class, the BC "manager" introduces herself to the passengers, personally. The Business Class seats are like First Class on other airlines. Tons of leg room, little cubbies for your shoes when you change to airline slippers. The seats have multiple settings that include partial prone position. The legroom is crazy! My nephew was able to sit nicely on the floor in front of his seat. He's 12. Each seat is equipped with pillow & blanket and passengers are given airline slippers and a toiletry bag consisting of an eye mask, socks, toothbrush & toothpaste, lotion, tissue and a comb. Meals in BC are served on little table cloths, with glassware, silverware and dinnerware. Tiny bottles of balsamic olive oil for bread dipping are standard. If you happen to be sleeping during the meal service, the flight crew will leave a note on your tv monitor. (Sorry, I don't know what mine said as it was too far away from me to see) Aside from meals, one can get ramen and some other things at anytime during the flight. All you have to do is ask. The lavatories in BC are very clean. It's almost as if they tidy up after every couple people. The floor is clean and dry, and smells nice, not like the econo lav's There are also some amenities available in there, too. If you are headed to Korea, I highly recommend Asiana Airlines!! Happy flying! read more

May 2017- Honolulu to Korea the flight was the best I've ever been on:))) I was soooo nervous about the flight because it was so long ugh, but I was pleasantly surprised! Service was great the ladies are so nice even if we couldn't really understand each other and the meals were better than anything I've ever had on an airplane. Airplane seats and lack of space are still the worst thing about flying no exception there :/ but the blanket, pillow, and travel slippers offered definitely made me feel luxurious. Can't wait to fly again with Asiana. read more

I was very fortunate to fly in Asiana Airlines Business Class from Incheon to Honolulu as it is about a 10 hour flight. Because I was flying business class, I was able to gain entry to the lounge at the Incheon Airport so that's where the pre-flight drinking started. Johnny Walker black and coke was my drink of choice. Yum! Once on board the aircraft, I found that it would be at least a 6 course meal so I decided to have one drink per course. After all, the drinks are free and it would be a 10 hour flight so it was a great way to pass the time. The inflight service was excellent and the food was very good. My favorite course was the steak course. The steak was nice and thick and smothered with a delicious mushroom gravy sauce. I especially liked the steak because it was still pink in the middle. Many times the steaks on board are served well done because they are partially cooked on the ground and then finished in the air. The only slight disappointment to not have the completely lay flat seat therefore I'm giving Asiana Airlines 4 stars and not 5 stars. All in all, it was a great flight and highly recommended. read more

Not my most favorite airlines to travel on, but it fits the bill I guess. My family travels almost exclusively on star alliance, and I've flown asiana more than a few times from Honolulu to seoul or for one of my legs from Honolulu to Southeast Asia. Asiana is the Korean star alliance member and after flying korean air once, I'm glad I fly asiana through Korea. Although asiana'a colors of tan, red, yellow and blue are really in appealing (especially when compared to the bright, beautiful baby blue of korean air), the colors are not supposed to be what counts. The flight attendants are nice and accommodating, they sometimes can't translate into English perfectly (I mean trying to explain what bibimbap is is understandibly hard!), but they genuinely try with a smile on their faces. The one thing I don't like in star alliance is that the benefits you hold with one carrier don't apply to all carriers in the group. I usually get upgraded on united, but never do on any other star alliance carriers. Kinda junk. I do like the Asiana Lounge in Seoul. The entrance moved, and I got kinda lost, but it's nicer than before I think, so definitely check it out if you can! read more

OMG definitely one of the better flying experience out there! I stumbled upon Asiana Airlines at the very last minute for a trip and was thoroughly pleased with my in-flight experience. The flight attendants are always professional and attentive. I especially appreciate its relatively spacious bathroom on board. Depends on which route you are flying on, they may provide toothbrush and/or mouthwash. As a fan of Korean food, I definitely enjoy my in-flight meals as an Economy passenger. Even if your flight duration is an hour or two, they will still provide you with a snack. If you have a longer flight, then you get enjoy a full meal. If I have to comment on anything about the meal service, it is that they don't provide a great variety on its beverages. For example, they have water/tea/coffee/coke. They don't have canned soda like ginger ale or sparkling water. I like the legroom that comes with my Economy seat as well. They provide pillows and blankets for all pass angers. In addition, the in-flight entertainment is top-notch. You can enjoy a movie or a TV show as soon as you are seated. Complimentary headset is available. For some airlines, you can only enjoy the entertainment options once you are up in the air. I highly recommend Asiana Airlines. read more

After flying JAL and KAL for 50+ times, finally I have a chance to fly ANA and Asiana this year. The first impression is "How can the fare be so cheap?" The price I paid for Asiana from Honolulu to an Asian city is the same as what I paid in early 1990s ($550+)! The cabin is understandably more crowded since almost every seat is taken. Their Bibimbap tastes better than the one served by KAL. read more

We recently flew to japan on asiana airlines. Everyone from the time we checked in until the time we arrived was very friendly and kind. The seats were comfortable on our long flight to Korea. Each seat comes with its own personal entertainment center which had a lot of movies. I watched Life of Pi, Hunger Games and Snow White and the Huntsmen so time passed very quickly. The short hop from Korea to japan was not as comfortable but it was a short flight. They served us 3 meals in transit. We had choice of steak or bi bim bap, then they served a sandwich and last a choice of chicken or fish. Most of the food was good but the third meal I would pass on. They walk around the whole time passing out juice, water, coffee and tea. The plane was very clean and the bathroom was actually spacious. I would highly recommend flying on Asiana. They are partners wish United Airlines. read more

My return flight was cancelled....it's February and my flight was in June....I also purchase "Hot Seats" and when I tried to book new seats they wanted me to pay more $$$. I'm on their website and it's going haywire and customer service is only available M-F. So far this is very frustrating. read more

1st time flying on this airlines, layover in Korea on my way to Hong Kong, must say the service and food [Bi Bim Bap] impressed me. on the return flight we had a Korean dish which was served with a variety of lettuce to wrap the rice and meat along with the ko chu jung sauce and kim chee, this was the best meal I had on an airlines. Beer, wine, soft drinks available throughout the flight. Still in the process of getting my claim for the baggage handlers resolved, in communication, seems like they'll resolve it amicably. MY ONLY COMMENT AS TO WHY THEY DIDN'T GET 5 STARS IS THAT DURING THE FLIGHT THE PLANE WAS TOO WARM, I DID ASK AND IT WAS COOLER FOR 10 MIN BUT RETURNED TO TOO WARM FOR ME. Passed thru Business class, some day I would like to go that way!!!! read more

Why, oh why, can't domestic airlines be this good? The flight attendants look so professional and are friendly and attentive. The food they serve in coach is every bit as good as the food they serve in first class on domestic airlines. We flew to Hong Kong on Asiana recently with a stop at Incheon Airport in Korea. You have your choice of Korean food or Western food. I had bi bim bap, kim chee, and other assorted Korean dishes. Your choice of soft drinks, beer or wine at no extra charge. Each seat on the Airbus Industrie A-330 has an in-seat monitor, where you can choose from a huge assortment of recent feature films or musical genres. I think I must have watched five films on my way to Hong Kong and back. If my memory serves, we had two meals from Honolulu to Incheon, and another meal from Incheon to Hong Kong. Same thing in reverse on the way back. My first commercial flight was on a Pan Am Boeing 707 flight from LAX to HNL when I was 6 years old. (Yes, I know I'm 100 years old, but I don't look a day over 99!) I thought the days of professional, attentive service were past, but fly on an Asian airline, and you'll know how ALL airlines (even the domestic ones) used to operate back in the day! The only thing I would like to see them add is to be able to view the progress of the flight from the "cockpit view" camera like they have on JAL flights, as well as a channel to listen to en route air traffic control. read more

We booked our flight over a year ago for an upcoming trip from Honolulu to Sydney and back, including purchasing a seat for my 2 year old. For some reason, Asiana changed that and decided it was fine for my 2 year old to sit with a complete stranger. There are 4 of us traveling in business class together and you can't find a seat for my two year old to not sit alone? Several calls into the reservations department resulted in being told that we should just work it out with the stranger and the flight attendants when we board the plane. So to summarize, your reservations department is so incompetent that you are going to make your customer (this poor stranger that is currently stuck sitting with my toddler) be inconvenienced at the last minute so you don't have to do your job? I understand things like this happen, but it's usually a result of a last minute plane switch, not months in advance of planning and the customer taking it upon themselves to call and get the matter fixed far in advanced. We thought it might have initially been an easy mistake, with Asiana thinking that my daughter was older and could in fact handle the flight by herself, but no... when asked, reservations was in fact clear on her being only 2 when the seat changes were made and in fact the attitude we received when calling to get this fixed was one of not understanding what the big deal was of a 2 year old sitting with a stranger in the first place. I'm going to guess the stranger won't feel the same way. Maybe instead of complaining on here I should enjoy a flight sitting alone and not focused on keeping a toddler quiet and just tell the stranger to send in his/her own Yelp review at the end of the trip... I have a feeling it will be more colorful than mine. read more

I had flown with Asiana before and enjoyed their service. This time, I used my United mileages to book a flight with Asiana that will transit in Seoul. Since the layover will be over 14 hours, I called Asiana and asked if they would provide free transit hotel stay. The person on the phone was rude and rushed. She simply said, you are not qualify but her tone was inpatient. When I asked why, she did not give any further explanation but just repeated that I do not qualify, again, in an inpatient voice. I am very disappointed in their customer service in such an unprofessional manner. read more

Loved the service on board this airline. The seating was very comfortable with lots of legroom for us tall folks. The cabin crew were fast and efficient and always smiled. The US airline crews could learn a lot from these folks. This was customer service at its best! Will definitely fly them again. read more

From Honolulu to Tokyo with 1 hour layover in Seoul ( i know ) - great plane, great staff and service. Got exit seats at no additional charge. Then from Narita to Haneda we accidentally left an iPhone behind on our seats. When we called Asiana, they had retrieved it and graciously mailed the phone to relatives in Sendai as instructed. The long flight from Honolulu to Seoul, quality aircraft, great service, and pretty good air-food...and of course hleping retrieve out phone... I highly recommend Asiana, BTW , our flight from Haneda back home to Honolulu was on United. Pale in comparison. They could learn alot from Asiana Air. read more

The BEST flying experience! The first class cabin was perfect in every way. Flight attendants were all so pretty, sweet and attentive. Our flight to Seoul was smooth and perfectly on time. Cant wait to fly with this airline again. read more
