I just came back from a trip to ICN. It was my first time flying OZ and thought I’d do a TR. I found a Z-Class fare on Zuji for S$2069 and grabbed it. The fare was only valid on OZ754 (2.20am dep. Ex-SIN) and OZ753 (7.15pm dep. Ex-ICN). OZ754/753 runs 4x a week until the end of the month. This is on top of OZ’s daily service (OZ752/751). According to the fare rules, no changes were allowed after ticketing but I managed to change the return flight to an earlier date by calling Asiana directly. The agent even rebooked me on OZ751 which gets in at 9.30pm instead of OZ753 which gets in at 1am. Anyways, on with the report…
OZ754 SIN-ICN, Seat 1K
I don’t have any pictures for this flight, so I’m just going to do a quick point form report:
•Arrived in Changi at about 1am and Asiana’s check-in counter (and Terminal 1) was deserted
•There was only 1 other passenger in the SATS Premier Lounge; the two of us were the only passengers in J
•There wasn’t any food except for Haagen-Dazs ice cream and peanuts but one of the cleaning ladies offered to cook me something if I’m hungry but I wasn’t
•There were only about 130+ passengers on the A330-300
•Boarding was quick and the plane pushed back 15 minutes early
•Drinks were promptly served and refills offered; champagne, orange juice, and water were on offer
•Immigration forms were handed out by the flight attendants along with Asiana branded pens
•Eyeshades, ear plugs, and slippers were given to us and other amenities such toothbrush were available in the lavatory
•The flight attendants came back to take breakfast orders; they explained that they will only be serving breakfast on the flight and that we could have our breakfast whenever we wanted (for the menu, see the OZ menu thread)
•After take-off, drinks were offered again with some packaged mixed nuts
•With only 2 passengers out of 30, service wasn’t going to be a problem. The 3 FA’s were visibly bored. Both of us were sitting in Row 1 and the FA’s would stand in Row 2 to make sure everything is ok. A little too attentive IMHO.
•Played around with the IFE but the selection is quite limited, only a fraction of what’s offered on Krisworld
•Asiana’s J seats aren’t the best either but it’s not too bad. I still managed to get a few hours of sleep. The Spacebed is definitely better.
•Breakfast was served as soon as I woke up, about 2 hours before landing at ICN. Breakfast was pretty standard. The seafood dish was pretty bland but luckily they had the Korean hot sauce which made it so much better.
•Rest of the flight was uneventful and we landed in ICN early. ICN was also deserted, there wasn’t any queue at immigration and bags were already out by the time I got to the belt.
