Korean Air first class is considered a good first class product by reviewers and bloggers. Korean Air first class reviews praise the great service and bedding, along with good food. The drink program is also considered superb. Seating, amenity kit, and lavatory are all acceptable. The IFE is rated as below average due to a lack of a good selection.

One important aspect to note with Korean Air first class is that different aircraft feature different first class seats, which range in quality, including a business class seat on some flights — although those seem largely phased out at this point. The newest planes with the “Kosmo Suites 2.0” tend to be highly rated. However, there still remains several variations of seating options, and travelers should research what product they will be flying prior to booking. Many current reviews noted a lack of WiFi, but Korean Air may be upgrading their fleet. Travelers who require WiFi should check before booking to see if their aircraft has WiFi capability.
