Asiana’s New First Class Suites on NYC to Seoul Route Bookable with United Miles!

Asiana's New First Class Suites are launching on the NYC (JFK) to Seoul (ICN) route as of July 22, 2013! Asiana announced its new First Class Suites last July and have been operating on the Chicago (ORD) to Seoul Incheon (ICN) route (four times weekly) as well as Seoul to Tokyo and Seoul to Ho Chi Minh routes. 

While Asiana's old First Class still gets great reviews for its food and service, the first class seats aren't at all private, especially compared to the enclosed suites offered in Etihad First Class, Jet Airways, Singapore Suites, etc. Asiana's old first class seats don't even have a retractable privacy screen the way Lufthansa New First Class seats do. The other new features include:

• Fresh air from individual air ventilation systems in each suite
• 32 inch in-flight HD screens
• Touch sensitive LCD seat function controls, including a “do not disturb” sign
