Contents of the meal: **LUNCH**: Smoked salmon appetiser/salad and Chicken

Drink: Kir Royale (Champagne and creme de casis mix --
rare for an airline offering)
Comments: Very attentive and elegant service by the flight
attendants, however, the content of the meals were disappointing. All
beef choices have been eliminated since the B.S.E. scare but the menu
has not reflected the change. Warm rolls were offered only once as with
wine. A separate appetiser and salad is not offered either. The main course,
as you can see, is glorified economy class meal with nothing exciting.
The Korean Bibimpop choice looked more substantial, however looked identical
to economy class offering of the same choice. (see pic 32 and 42) The
most annoying thing of all is that they turned on the lights and offered
"dinner" 3 1/2 hours before landing, perhaps because it was
about 6:30 pm LA time? I can't think of any other airline who does this.
After dinner the lights are turned off again and everyone takes a nap
before landing. Good thing this was not an over-night flight. Overall,
I only paid full Y economy fare and got to sit in business so I shouldn't
gripe so much??

Route: NRT-LAX, 17 Jan 2004
Ticket price: JPY 45,000 (USD 500 one-way)
Flight duration: 9h30m
Aircraft type & class: B777-200 3-class
Business or leisure trip: Leisure
Meal type: Dinner/Breakfast
[039-045] DINNER: 2 Choices: Seafood noodles or Bibimpap, traditional
Korean dish with rice, vegetables, groud beef served with hot chile paste
and sesame oil.
[046-047] BREAKFAST: 2 Choices: Fruit plate or Omelette
Drink: Water
Comments: It's been almost 20 years since I've flown
Korean Air trans-pacific. The seat was comfortable and the food was tasty.
Bibimpap is filling and good quality. Somehow, they only served juices
and water during the "cocktail" service and also offered only
red & white wine during the meal service. All other airlines, US or
Int'l, offer a full range of drinks before and during the meal... is this
a cost-cutting initiative on Korean Air's part??? Breakfast was served
2 hours before landing and the lights were turned on full bright. Good
thing I was awake.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 7 - deduction for lack of beverage
choices and for the flight attendant calling the seafood noodles "fish".
