Korean Air Club Business Class Seats (Photos, Review and Video)

I took these photos on a flight from Tokyo Narita to Seoul Incheon airports of the Korean Air Club/ Business Class Cabin and Seats. Overall I thought the seats were pretty good. Although they are not the “lie flat” horizontal type they do go flat but are at an angle, but the seats are wide as as they sore of slide underneath the seat in front you do not have that annoying and “closed in feeling” you get when the seat in front of you goes back and…

Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam Review and Video Tour.

Watch my video tour and thoughts on the ship: The first Nieuw Amsterdam ship was launched by Holland America LIne in 1906. The current one is the forth to take this famous name. Today, many of the 2,000 passengers congregate at the Sea View Pool at the rear of the ship for the sail-away parties. Some, of course, prefer, to relax in the more enclosed Lido pool, which has a retractable roof. As well as lots of recliners and seats you can also hire…

Crystal Cruises Food Main Dining Room Review
