Korean Air has received its first Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. The next-generation, eco-friendly 787-10 features the latest state-of-the-art technology, superior fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. The aircraft also debuts Korean Air’s new Prestige Class cabin interior, which aims to offer Business Class passengers an unparalleled travel experience.
The newly-introduced Prestige Class seats – Prestige Suites 2.0 – are designed to offer passengers a luxurious experience. The design features traditional Korean patterns, including ‘Jogakbo’ patchwork, to showcase Korea’s cultural beauty. The interior features a cream colour inspired by Joseon Dynasty porcelain and a gold hue reminiscent of brassware, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. Shades of charcoal and black with a blue tint are designed to add a sense of stability.
One of the standout features of the Prestige Suites 2.0 is its innovative design, which prioritises passenger privacy. Each seat functions as a virtually independent space, with an open top that enhances a sense of openness while maintaining a level of privacy. The seats fully recline to a flat 180 degrees, transforming into a bed. The seat length has been extended to 78 inches (about 198cm), with a seat pitch of 46 inches (117cm) and a seat width of 21 inches (53cm), ensuring a generous amount of personal space.
Additional convenience is provided by expanded personal space next to the armrest, featuring a table for cups and small personal items, a personal storage compartment, a wireless phone charger, dual 220V/110V outlets, and two high-speed USB-C ports.
The Economy Class features seats in a 3-3-3 configuration with vibrant woven patterns of bold colours, creating a distinctive and lively atmosphere. The seats offer a recline of up to 120 degrees with headrests adjustable in multiple directions for optimal comfort. The seat pitch is 32 inches (81cm), and the seat width is 17.2 inches (44cm).
High-resolution monitors supporting 4K resolution offer an enhanced inflight entertainment experience in both classes. Prestige Class passengers can enjoy 24-inch (60cm) monitors with Bluetooth audio support, while Economy Class seats feature 13-inch (33cm) monitors. Inflight WiFi service is also available.
