Seoul Layover


Well, after quite a day wrapping up things at home, we are finally through with the big leg of the trip; LAX to Seoul, Korea. United called us around 3 hours before we left to let us know that our flight to LA had been cancelled. Typical for United. Fortunately we had a 4 hour layover in LA, so we booked the next flight out of Denver which was an hour later. We sat at the gate while a united mechanic fixed the crapper for about 35 minutes...we couldnt take off cuz the "shitter's full". We barely made our international connection in LA, they were actually waiting for us and a few others on that flight.
Wow the Asiana 777-200 was amazing. we have never flown anything but coach, but these business class seats will make it hard to go back! Fully reclining to a flat position. You get slippers and dark out masks for sleeping. No DirecTV like Frontier, but they did have a few movies looping for the 12 hour flight. the food was pretty amazing and the liquor and wine was tight. We cant wait for our Singapore Airlines flight which we will catch in about 2 hours at 9am local time. They are supposed to have the best business class seating in the industry.
The First Class lounge in Seoul is pretty amazing as well. a full library of books, showers, massage chairs and a bar. I gotta get off this post and explore it a bit more while jan is in the shower...
