Flight OZ742 – Boeing A330

We got to the gate late where boarding had already started, although the waiting area was still quite full. Business class boarded under the Gate E5 sign on the right where there was no wait.



Waiting at the seat was a comfortable pillow, blanket and headphones. It should be noted that these are angled seats that are not fully flat. It seems as though Asiana now flies a 777-200 or the A380 on this flight which both have fully flat beds.

Slippers were also provided, which were a little on the thin side.


There is ample foot space with several small cubbies for storage.

The seat controls move in every possible direction, and do have several pre-set positions.


The IFE control is to the right. The screen is fairly big, with a nice clear picture.

There is also a coat hanger at the seat.

There is a partition between the seat next to you.

There are two outlets to each seat, which is very helpful in this gadget connected world.

The seat also has a drink coaster.

There is also a flexible reading light.









Once we were seated, menus were distributed.

The meal started with an appetizer of avocado, smoked salmon and capsicum sauce. The dish was mostly avocado, but tasted perfectly fine although the sauce did not have any heat to it despite the name.

For the main, I went with the Beef Tenderloin Brochette. The beef was tender, but somewhat lacking in flavor. The vegetables looked like a clunky ratatouille, but was well cooked.
Dessert was Vanilla Panna Cotta, but I skipped out on that.
It should be noted that the plane was uncomfortably warm, and the flight attendants will not turn on the air because the “local people” don’t like that. I have a hard time sleeping on a plane as it is, and with the temperature it was even more challenging.
I suppose if Asiana marketed their flights as having an onboard sauna, they could really charge an extra premium.
