Korean Air Seoul-Auckland route - what aircraft and what kind of inflight entertainment system to expect?

Question

For example I flew KLM from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur last year and got main screens (i.e. you watch what they want you to watch when they want you to watch it), then on the connecting flight from KL to Auckland which was with Malaysia Airlines we had individual screens with movies and games.

Similarly if anyone knows what to expect on NZ airlines AKL to Tokyo Narita and Air France Narita-Paris it would be much appreciated!!

If anyone has any personal experiences of these airlines (whats the food like, are the staff nice etc) please share these as well. All of the flights are economy class (unfortunately...)

Answer 1

They fly with a Boeing 777-200.
For 261 passengers.
8 in First Class 83" pitch
28 in Prestige Class 60" pitch
225 in Economy Class 33" pitch

They have PTV on some 747's, but not on the 777.
This is the movie for this month on Seoul-Auckland flight:

"Talladega Nights" ( Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly) 103 min.

They also have wireless internet service on some routes , but not on the Auckland flights.

Here are some passenger opinions:

INC-AKL return. Check in fast, upgraded to Business class on the top deck of 747 on the first leg. Food excellent. No personal TV in business class and no movies at all for the 11 hour flight. FAs polite and good service. Back in Economy but was able to choose my seat. Overnight flight again, slept most of it but found breakfast an hour out from Seoul refreshing.

SVO-ICN, economy. Very pleasant experience. Flight attendants are the definition of politeness, beauty and hospitality (and, they speak very good English). The food (already mentioned here bimbimbap) was the best airline food I have had in six years of rather active travel. As my older colleagues later told me, the KE food service reminded them about air travel 20 years ago. Definitely will use this airline again.

Sydney-Incheon-Frankfurt return in Economy. Efficient airline with courteous, hardworking attendants. No PV on the SYD-ICN leg which is a drag when you are travelling with a 10 year old. Not so great on the drinks service with just juice & water being offered. However, they are happy to get you a beer or wine if you ask. Another thing, they actually turn up promptly when you press the call button, try that on Qantas. Overnight stay at ICN was at the Hyatt Regency which was excellent. I quite liked the Korean food on the flight. I would be happy to fly with them again.

Answer 2

No,it relatively is Kim Jong Il's activity and he's been somewhat useful at doing so,in North Korea... In regard to the Quran burning concern...I understand the sentiment and have self assurance that the Pastor has a superb to burn the Quran or the different analyzing fabric liable to 451 fahrenheit yet....I even have self assurance(besides the erection of the proposed Mosque,in N.Y.) that doing so,is in simple terms in poor style,counterproductive and extremely insensitive...The mass incineration of books seen Holy,is as primitive as throwing sticks and rocks at protection stress tanks.. No to the Mosque No to the Quran bonfire.. hmmm..ask your self what Ahmadinejad could do if kim Jong inspired N.Koreans to burn the Quran?...
