Korean Air is on the winner's list once again. This time the airline’s premium class service has been ranked No.1 in the 2023 USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. The airline also placed second for best inflight food, and sixth for the best cabin crew.
The 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards spotlight the best in a particular category, and nominees are chosen by a panel of experts before going public for voting by USA Today readers.
In making the announcement, USA Today said, “First class aboard Korean Air means private spaces, lie-flat sleeper seats, and large entertainment screens. Passengers are provided with an in-flight amenity kit from Atelier Cologne and upgraded food and wine.”
Winning the second spot in the awards’ 10 best inflight food category, the carrier’s seasonal offerings, a broad array of traditional Korean cuisine and special snack services on long-haul flights were recognized.
In March this year, the airline introduced Korean-style vegan meal options inspired by traditional temple cuisine and rolled out a new selection of 52 carefully curated wines in collaboration with world-renowned sommelier, Marc Almert.
Korean Air’s efforts to enhance services for customers continue to be recognized by various organizations: the airline earned a five-star airline rating in May for the second time from Skytrax.. It ranked first in the 2023 Global Customer Satisfaction Index awards for the 19th consecutive year.
The airline was also ranked in 2023 by AirlineRatings.com as Best Airline in North Asia and Cargo Airline of the Year and has been ranked number four in the global rating agency’s Top Twenty Five Airlines.
