My husband and I visited Japan in late March this year. This time, we flew to Fukuoka from Los Angeles with Korean Air. We had a layover in Seoul and spent some time shopping at Incheon Airport. I remembered my Korean friend once telling me that the seaweed sold at the airport is much higher quality than what you usually find in supermarkets — so we bought some. She was right; it was incredibly good.
Anyway, my husband and I ended up loving Korean Air. Even though we were in economy class, their service felt thoughtful and comfortable. They provided disposable slippers for all passengers, and the bathrooms had toothbrushes, Korean skin lotion, and toner. I usually don’t enjoy airplane bathrooms, but somehow I did this time. The Korean Air cabin attendants were also very kind, which made the whole experience even nicer.

We also really enjoyed the in‑flight meal on Korean Air. During our flight from Los Angeles to Seoul, we chose the bibimbap, and it was fun mixing all the ingredients with the rice and adding the gochujang. It turned out to be pretty good and surprisingly satisfying.

Flying from Seoul to Fukuoka took less than an hour, but even on such a short flight they still served a light meal — a Paris Baguette sandwich and chips — which tasted much better than I expected. I also didn’t realize that the Paris Baguette we often see in Southern California is actually a Korean chain. The sandwiches were so good, and the chips were surprisingly delicious too. AI says they’re a Korean non‑fried potato chip made by Nongshim. I want to look for them at a Korean grocery store someday.
On our way back to Los Angeles from Japan, we flew with United Airlines. This time, we were able to use the United Airlines Lounge at Narita Airport. I’ll write more about the lounge next time.

I usually love flight meals departing from Japan because they often include more Japanese‑style dishes. Our first meal was a kind of yakitori bento, which felt comforting and familiar. The second meal was chicken omelet rice with demi‑glace sauce — simple but satisfying in that cozy, Japanese‑airline way.

Overall, we truly enjoyed our flights on this trip. I usually don’t expect too much from in‑flight meals, but each one turned out better than I imagined. It was a nice way to wrap up our journey.
