Starting off my major Japan photo spam with a few taken from airports and flights...

I flew with Korean Air;

Outbound;
Heathrow - Seoul - Kansai

Inbound;
Narita - Seoul - Heathrow

I had a window seat for 3/4 flights....on the final flight my seat was stolen by my teacher....but I got the isle....the next best thing ;)

One last piece of advice.....If you like nice food I wouldnt fly Korean.....their BipbimBap or whatever thay call it really isnt that good.....and serving a fish salad for breakfast?????? Oh well.....at least the FAs were nice and polite :)

Heathrow - Seoul

Over the Mongolian deserts

And China

On approach to Incheon.....possibly one of the best moments of my life....knowing I was about to get off the 12 hour flight....seriously....long haul isn't cool :D....especially when you have a Korean bloke sitting next to you asking you stuff in Korean.....

Seoul - Kansai

Just the one piccie of this flight as it quickly went dark ;)
Image      

Narita - Seoul

I love eastern airports....so much different traffic :D

Nice cargo ramp line up....
Image      

Oh to be on that comforting British aircraft....
Image      

For the first leg (to Seoul) I had a window seat in the last row.....meaning uber legroom as the seating goes into a 2-4-2 rather than a 3-4-3 to accomodate the curve of the fuselage....lots of extra room at the side :)

See part 2 :)

Love the 3rd one 8-)

Hehehe...I know that feeling...the, we've landed, everyones deplaning, but my legs wont work properly....makes long hauls so much fun ;D

So how is the leg room on Korean in standard economy?  In the area of your LHR-ICN flight.  Korean Air is looking like a possibility for my next trip to Taiwan, but trying to do better research on airlines as to not repeat the 14.5 hour (x2) Malaysian hell incident :P

I bet your arms are tired!


Great pictures, I really like the first one.  Something about being high over the Gobi just sounds cool. 8-) ;)

Not bad! Shame about those dirty airline windows.

Don't suppose you got a chance to visit any lovely JASDF bases on your travels?

The seat pitch is OK.....legroom wasn't an issue....It's generally a nic airline....just the food kind of sucks ;)

Hi Mic

I've not been able to keep up with all the threads, what were you in Japan for?

I know you like to feel independant and use public transport when you can, but is this not taking it to extremes?  ;) ;D

School trip ;)

I wish I'd taken my SLR in hindsight.....it may be large and heavy but my pictures would have been so much better  ::)

Wish I could have been you for a while... :)
Lovely photos, was the flight stuttery? I see you had some great bloom effects...
