Getting Here

Flew over on a Korean Air 747-400, my first 747 trip ever! Got to fly in business class and elected to fly in the upper cabin. This seems to have been a good choice because the cabin was isolated from the rest of the plan and it pretty much felt like the 20 or so of us were the only folks on the plane.
The seats were like individual pods, and were for the most part pretty comfortable, if a bit dangerous. They were very mechanized and Ron, who was traveling with me, got his coattail caught in one of the seams as he was moving it to sleeping position and it nearly strangled him.

They allow actual metal silverware on Korean air.

Sitting anywhere or on anything for 14 hours is a chore. I had a window seat and had to bother the guy next to me whenever I had to go to the toilet, which even in business class was same old standard issue airplane bathroom.

Every time I moved or changed the position of my seat the flight attendant was right there with Guava juice. I like Guava juice, but it just compounded the problem of the previous paragraph.

I think I slept about 3 hours of the trip and by the time we got to Inchon airport my eyes were hurting from being open for so long. After about an hour getting money and trying to get the rent a car we left the airport. The car had a GPS, but everything was in Korean. The rental guy programmed it for us and we followed the map as well as we could given the traffic and with that and a combination of directions and luck we made it to the Seoul Palace.
