Comments: Ok, I love Asiana! The service is top-notch, so I'd probably love the food no matter what it tastes like! But diinner was absolutely wonderful, and there were drinks galore! Asiana even passes out menus in Economy which are also city-guides with information on your destination! Great service, Great Airline, Great flight! I was having a blast with my friends en route to Manila.... Love getting DANISH beer on a Korean carrier! (They also have Cass and OB for people who want to try Korean) Don't remember landing!! :-)
