Korea Day 0: 14 Hours of Flying...err...Eating

Once you have tasted business class or higher, there is no way you would want to fly coach EVER again.  From the shorter check-in lines to the air port lounges...along with a much more comfortable seat and excellent service in the cabin...why coach ever again?  Oh that's right, each seat is like 5x more expensive...anyway...I got to experience this little slice of travel heaven on my journey to Korea. 

After a very long ride to the airport (traffic, rain, etc) I got checked in and headed through security to enjoy the lounge for about an hour.  Here is a picture:



They had a couple sandwich options, many drinks, and other snacks.  There was also free Wi-Fi.  The lounge was for a couple of the SkyTeam Airline Members (Air France and Korean Air had reps inside), so I heard anywhere from 2-4 different languages during my brief time in the lounge.

Next was boarding...I wonder how one qualifies for the Morning Calm...

After boarding we all got settled in and they started to distribute these little toiletry bags (tooth brush, tooth paste, lotion, etc:


When we reached cruising altitude, the eating began and hardly stopped throughout the flight. Besides two 3 course meals, there were drinks coming around and a couple snacks here and there.  Here are some pictures!
In general, the plane ride was uneventful, we got to Korea, went through passport control and customs, grabbed our bags and got in our car to get to the hotel.  Below are my pictures of my home for 11 nights, enjoy!

Standing shower and big ol' tub, two people can bath at the same time! 

I'll try and clean up these posts when I have some more free time.  That's all for now, stay tuned for more!
