Going to Seoul

thamesmatt

Hi, am going to Seoul next week with work and I am considering 2 ways to get there

1. Direct with korean air - 13 hours in the air (will be economy alas) as a 6 foot 3 man! Anyone done the route know that the planes are like? legroom/food/drinks etc...

2. Via dubai with Emirates. I know and love Emirates and the 3 hours in Dubai airport is a great rest and shopping experience! but its an 18 hour journey both ways!

Both similar prices, my real concern is with korean Air as i've never flown with them!

Also I will have a day free for shopping, I presume electricals are cheap.. any good bargains I should look out for e.g. computer bits and pieces, memory sticks, laptops etc... ipods, watches clothes etc...

any advice welcome.

It'll be a 747-400 with 33 or 34 inch pitch in economy which is better than average (BA = 31 inch). I prefer Emirates with a stopover but some people prefer getting the journey over and done with - your choice.
