The Business Smartium Experience
Seat TypeStaggered Lie-flat

Bed Length77 inches
Screen15.6-inch
Asiana Airlines' Business Smartium is the airline's legacy long-haul business class, found on older 777-200ERs and A330-300s that have not yet received the newer Business Class Suite retrofit. It delivers a comfortable, fully flat bed in a dated 2-2-2 configuration that lacks direct aisle access for window-adjacent passengers, making it a step behind the reverse-herringbone products now standard among many Star Alliance peers. Where Asiana shines is in warm, attentive Korean-style service and genuinely good onboard dining, particularly bibimbap and other hansik dishes. Travelers booking this cabin should verify aircraft type carefully, as Asiana's newer Business Class Suite on the A350-900 and 787-9 is a considerably more modern and private product.
Why Fly Asiana Airlines to Seoul
- Fully flat bed seating for overnight comfort on long-haul sectors
- Strong Korean cuisine program, including bibimbap and multi-course hansik dining
- Consistently attentive, formal cabin service reflecting Korean hospitality standards
- Access to Asiana's Incheon (ICN) business lounges with Korean and international food options
Dining & Service
The Business Smartium seat is a 2-2-2 fully flat-bed configuration, which means middle and window passengers traveling with a companion may need to climb over one another to reach the aisle — a notable drawback on overnight flights. Dining is a highlight, with Asiana's well-regarded Korean menu featuring bibimbap, hansik set courses, and Korean rice wine alongside a Western menu option, all served on proper tableware with a structured multi-course flow. Cabin crew are known for exceptionally attentive, formal service that reflects Korean hospitality traditions. Entertainment is delivered via a personal seatback screen with a reasonable selection of Hollywood, Korean, and regional film and TV content, though screen size and responsiveness can feel dated compared to newer widebody fleets. Amenity kits and bedding are provided in business class, with a duvet and pillow for long-haul comfort, though the kit contents are functional rather than designer-branded. Wi-Fi availability varies by aircraft and should be confirmed at booking, as it is not guaranteed fleet-wide on Smartium-equipped jets.
