This was my first ever flight on the 747-8 and my first flight on Korean Air so it’s fair to say I was really looking forward to it.
I flew business class on the upper deck of the Korean Air 747 - there is something magic about flying on the upper deck of the Queen of the Skies - much more so than the upper deck of the A380. Sadly the 747 is slowly disappearing from our skies so I was very happy to be able to experience it.
This Korean Air Flight review covers my flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Seoul, South Korea and features: check-in and the business class lounge, boarding, take-off and the onboard service from Korean Air including the business class seat, cabin, inflight amenities, entertainment system and meals.

I disagree with the comment below about the length of Dennis’ videos. If you watch other travel vloggers, most of their videos are around 15mins long and they become boring to watch (showing the entire take off at normal speed, hovering over the menu for ages, over self-indulgent etc). I think Dennis manages to make his videos detailed enough in the aspects people want to know about (the lounge, the seat, the service and the flight overall) whilst also being entertaining and concise. Happy travels 😀
My dad used to fly the 747 at Korean air. Best flights of my life when we got to enjoy business class as family members ❤️❤️
I'm excited to watch this video about Korean Air right now. Always a pleasure to see *the B747* in action😎
Fly Around WOW!!! what an excitement to se the 747... no life ahh? try find a girlfriend: that could be a more reasonable excitement in life
I’m glad that Korean Airlines is keeping the 747, what a beautiful new dash 800!
I LOVE the Korean Airlines 747-8 upper deck!
Without a doubt, my favorite airliner!
I love the 747 it’s so iconic i don’t want it to go away
Sadly they slowly are 😥
I always enjoy your videos and comments ! As a retired airline employee your videos a really good !
Dennis, we need a PJ rating in the rating or some way of alerting us to the promise (or lack thereof) of pyjamas. Sad to see you having to bring your own...
Who else likes Dennis videos before even watching it!
Me
Yep, thats a given :)
I get so jealous of the traveling! I want to fly in style!
@Alexander Dunn it's like the Simpsons intro music. It cues some internal happy release
Yep
Dennis, I must commend you not only on informative and well composed videos but I'm impressed by how respectful you are by not shoving your camera in peoples faces, filming other passenger or the crew... this truly stands out from other creators. Keep it up! Ever considered an AirAsiaX flat-bed? ;)
I have been on Korean Air's business class a few times. It was average and nothing special, but on the positive side, their reward points last 10 years which is better than any airlines I have ever came across.
Now that is a airplane! Love the Boeing 747!
It is miraculous how water vapour can look so good...
The Queen at her absolute best. That how she flies baby!
worth staying up til midnight for this (uk)
Watching this at nearly 03.45, UK time :) (they don't make painkillers like they use to, lol,)
I travel in this class with Korean Air everytime I can and it is a lovely flight and great service. Not really for Westerners but great for Asian customers.
Dennis, thank you so much. It is a pleasure to follow your videos, your opinion is very honest and genuine. In combination with your voice and way of filming, I feel like I want to travel immediately. Thanks for reminding the beauty of the sky, we often forget the beauty of flying.
I know I had 2 years to plan before my travel to Philippines 🇵🇭 but I’m very excited I’m about to have business class
Love the videos Dennis - it's like we're flying business and first vicariously through your posts! Thanks for making them and keep it up, they're always a must watch.
Love your ending scene and reaction at Seoul😂😂
i love this layout very much. privacy, window seat, direct access to aisle. all issues got solved. this should be the best seat layout for everyone.
I am a simple guy, Dennis posts i like before watching and always never disappointed!!
Great flight. That window seat looks so private... the top of the 747 is special... enjoy your next flight. 👍
Dennis, as always, your trip reports are second to none.
The best compliment I can give you is that I wish they were longer. Always a pleasure watching your travel experiences.
If I may offer a suggestion- try looking into pilgrim tourist groups to Israel. Should be an interesting market to explore.
Stay safe and happy travels!
His face when the robot "walks" by...
Absolutely nailed the review as usual mate!
great review, always nice to see airlines outside of the typical that we always see
Best flight reviewer in the game..wish you would put out one flight review daily.
Another great vid Dennis, love your great work
Great video Dennis! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Seeing that INCREDIBLE and GORGEOUS Korean Air B747 especially the 747-8!! The QUEEN OF THE SKIES! I’ve seen this video many times, but I still find myself re-watching it as it just makes me very happy! 🎉😂
I cannot wait to fly with Korean air someday and hopefully exactly how you did it upstairs in business class on that iconic 747 !!
Cheers Mate 🥂
Sensational Video! 😊
Caleb’s Aviation
Awesome, I was just searching for something to watch before bedtime. Thank you so much and greetings from Germany
That robot at the end😂
YES, I have been waiting for your perspective on airlines from South Korea! Thank you!
Wow, that's a genius seat design!
excited for the A330 trip report! can't wait, but as always it will be worth the wait!
A very pleasing cabin ambience I do like the muted colour scheme, the layout looks really good some other airlines { no names } could have a look at this layout.
this review highly needed
Nice video. Well done. 747 upperdeck is always fun.
Love the videos Dennis and have been religiously watching you for a couple of years. I really enjoy the dry sense of humor. In-flight PJs are a must!
My first 747 flight next week, KLM Business from Birmingham to HK. Excited!
Great video, as always.
It’s 6am, i should be sleeping but i’m here watching your video. Totally worth it ! The robot part made me laugh hard 😂
Haha. I have just been passed by a robot! :D that was pretty funny! But as always! a great video!
gorgeous seat right there
Another great review as always. Thanks.
Great video & the robot encounter at the end was hilarious.
Love your videos!! Another great one.
Love your videos !
Wonderful review as always Dennis. Thanks for sharing!
Professional trip report as always! Short and amazing to watch, as always! Keep up the good work, Dennis, love from India!
I saw your bunnik tours advertisement in the cinema 😂 (chaddy FTW!)
Excellent Review Dennis!😃. Love the B748 aka Boeing 747-8i! #LETSGETINTHEAIR!
I've only experienced Korean Air business class on their A380 service on a flight between ICN and JFK. However in my 40+ years of travelling, that was the most excellent travel experience I've ever had.
Ah, the 747-8. What an aircraft. :)
Waw lovely experience ... Thanks for sharing ...
I was at that same spot at the Frankfurt airport like 3 weeks ago lol. Nice video btw
I find it so funny, there's disappointment all over Dennis face when neither pyjamas nor warm nuts are provided, hahaha! I do like your reviews Dennis! You do such a great job. I know it's weird, but I think your videos are so entertaining and relaxing.
Another top video Dennis.. loving your work and great to see another Australian enjoying his work and sharing with the world here on RUclips. 👌 ✈ 👏
You've certainly been spoiling us lately Dennis! Keep up the good work. :)
very enjoyable as normal. nice to fly in the Queen of the Sky's long may she continue to fly . thanks once again
Its always good to have delays when youre in FC cuz you can enjoy more the seat and watch movies and its just awesome or maybe thats just me, you can put me in a economy class and fly for 20h and i would love it, i just love planes
Love your videos Dennis!
You made me revert back to gin & tonics. Don't know why I ever stopped.
Craving a new review Dennis ! 👍love your channel
Thanks! I've got 2 in editing at the moment and another 3 I'm about to start working on. Next one a few days away I hope.
Hi Dennis another brilliant review, my favourite aircraft is the 747, did you enjoy the 747-8 does it feel spacious, and what is take off like? Is it a quiet roar ? Thanks for the excellent review
Great video mate, keep up the good work!
There must have a been a copyright claim since the audio doesn’t work at the start
Oh Dennis ... those cloud formations upon departure from FRA were stunning!
On an completely unrelated note,
BA's new Catering is provided by
DO & CO from 2020 onwards. That's the same company that provides Austrian and Turkish airways food
I'm certainly not the only one who's sad to see the 747 phase out of commercial use am I? 😭
No
Its a shame that we are now seeing a321neos doing trans atlantic flights. It used to be 747s almost exclusively.
No its the most majestic bird still in the sky. I remember the first time I flew the 747 it felt like an event.
nomiS Tay I mean it’s plausible. Sad, but outdated and not economical. Antique in the sky
The 747-8's and Cargo variants, will still be around in 20-30 years time at least.
Excellent review video and passion on the style and mood to make it and sow us to us. Cheers from Latin America
Always good to see you Dennis. Enjoyed this one in particular as my old home base Frankfurt Airport was featured. Happy travels to you too!
It's like the BA seat but doesn't suck
Oh it is miles better. If you get one of the window seats and put up the privacy screen, you really are in your own world.
-ba-
Thank you for making the nice video, Dennis.
Wow!!! What a fantastic review! I'm korean but I didn't know the korean air is that good!
this seat design is what BA should use - still fairly dense but giving all seats direct aisle access
Another great review 👍🏻
your videos are the best
I love Prestige Class on upper deck in 747-8
Nice review! You do point out the advantages and disadvantages quite well.
In one aspect I really have to congratulate them: There is NO (mainly) egg dish for breakfast. Thai serves two of them plus congee.....
Nice flight review. I m planning to fly with the 747-8 this summer from Paris to Seoul..going to the Philippines for my vacations. In 2016, I already experienced Korean Air for the same trip but it was the A380 from Paris. Can't wait for this year !
Enjoy the flight to!
Back in the 80's Korean Air told passengers not to take pictures of the runway when landing. There were dugouts with weapons back then on the side of the runways.
Stay safe
Great video dennis😀
I think flight crews give a stronger pour if there's a delay! Love your videos, Dennis
Dennis, you are the best in class! We, fans of commercial airlines, shall create a similar ranking as SkyTrax, but for Vloggers :) I am sure Dennis will be having 6 stars out of 5 possible!
Welcome to Estonia and its national carrier Nordica!
My wife and I flew business class from ICN to SFO on the 747-8 business class in the upper deck also. We enjoyed our flight.
Good job nice videos please which routes are the 747-8 go on i wish to try it one day thanks all best
That layout is like an old version of JL's new business class design. Dennis, you really need to try JL new J. It's fantastic.
There *is* something nice about flying on the 747, but holycrap you realize how noisy they are after flying on an A350 or A380! Boeing's really are just a lot noisier to fly on.
Engines and their manufacturers play a huge role in that*
Hi Dennis your face at the end is classic that robot going by.lol
The bedding or the lack of suprised me! Considering the competition between Europe - Asia you would think duvee and a proper pillow would be obvious.
Flew Business Class on the 747-400 China Airlines from SFO- Taipei a few years ago.. loved the upper deck cabin.......
I flew Asiana to Korea before, but now I’m willing to try Korean Airlines, nice review Dennis.! KAL offers awesome business class fares from the US to SE Asia via Seoul.
Just make sure you are flying 748 or 789. A388 and 77W business seats do not have direct aisle access in every seat. I prefer OZ's business seats on A388 or A350 over KE's. I'm not sure if KE flies 789 to the US.
Jay Park - Thank you for the info Jay !
Those storage bins also work well as a place to put your laptop while your eating so you can work and eat at the same time. Really big laptops may be a bit to big for the storage bins but don’t know
747 likes as of this comment. I want to like the video but don't want to ruin that number! Ha. Awesome video as always Dennis.
Dennis. How does this compare to the BA club world seats which you panned? The set up of window seat and aisle seat seem similar to that but you liked this? I've never traveled on either so I don't know myself but when looking at these that was the first thing I thought
Another outstanding video, please keep it up and happy travels!
The 747-8i is my favorite plane.
Great video. Thank you. I wonder how much longer the 747-800 will be around for.
Sometimes I like not having WiFi on a plane because it means that I get some time away from my work and enjoy the flight without worrying about my work
Great video 👍👍
