The airline’s Prestige Class business‑cabin product continues to earn praise from passengers and industry experts alike. In 2024, Korean Air introduced the Prestige Suites 2.0 on its Boeing 787‑10 aircraft, featuring lie‑flat seats in a 1‑2‑1 layout, upgraded in‑flight entertainment, and enhanced privacy for ultimate comfort.
Korean Air’s culinary program, refreshed in March 2025, celebrates Korean and global cuisine through modern interpretations of traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Signature offerings, such as octopus rice, beef brisket bibimbap, and steamed abalone with rice, are served on newly designed tableware and paired with a curated wine list developed with world-renowned sommelier Marc Almert.
In addition to recognition from USA Today readers, Korean Air continues to earn global accolades: Best Cabin Service at the APEX Best Awards 2026, Airline of the Year 2025 by AirlineRatings.com, a SKYTRAX 5-star Airline rating for the fifth consecutive year, and Asia Airline of the Year by CAPA.
