Best Business Class Flights to Seoul

SkyTeam

Korean Air

Prestige Class

Core Features

Apex Suites (Prestige Suites)

Always check the specific aircraft before booking — the difference between the door-equipped Prestige Suite and the older angled seats is substantial, and Korean Air's booking engine or ExpertFlyer can confirm equipment type. The Seoul–New York (JFK), Los Angeles, and select European routes are the most likely to feature the newer 787-9 or retrofitted 777-300ER hardware. Aisle seats in the older herringbone cabins can require climbing over a partition, so window seats are generally the better pick on those aircraft.

Star Alliance

Asiana Airlines

Business Smartium

Core Features

Always check your specific aircraft before booking, as Asiana operates both Business Smartium (older 777/A330) and the newer Business Class Suite (A350/787-9) under the same 'business class' fare bucket — the experience difference is substantial. For couples or those valuing privacy, the 2-2-2 layout of Smartium is best avoided in favor of routes confirmed to fly the Suite product; use a seat map tool like SeatGuru or Asiana's own booking engine to verify equipment before ticketing.

Delta Air Lines

Delta One Suite

Expert Note

Not all Delta One cabins are created equal — the door-equipped suite is standard on the A350, A330-900neo, and retrofitted 767-400ER aircraft, but some 777s and older 767s still fly older, non-suite Delta One seating in a 2-2-2 configuration. Always check the specific aircraft type at booking, and prioritize A350 or A330-900neo routings (common on transatlantic and Asia-Pacific flights) for the true suite experience.
