In this video I track down one of the last passenger 747400s in the world, and the only one left in Asiana’s fleet, for a quick adventure flying from Osaka Kansai (KIX) to Seoul Incheon (ICN). And I’m in the nose, seat 3A.

Join me as we take off into the sunset, get served a full meal and a few drinks, bounce around in some turbulence and then make a nighttime approach and landing into Incheon. Listen out for those classic 747 sounds – the distinctive APU, the special chime.

Asiana sells these old First Class seats as business class these days so if you book a business ticket you can grab one free of charge.

And of course I’ll give you the newly inaugurated “GabeScore”. Although they basically had me won over as soon as they put a 747 on this route – anything else was just bonus.

How I booked this: a simple paid oneway ticket for the grand total of $251.48.

And this helped me pick up another discounted oneway business ticket on Emirates from Seoul to Stockholm via Dubai. (Seoul is a great place to originate for cheaper business class tickets, in case you didn’t know.) Those reports coming soon!
