Interesting Airport Info

Asia

1. Thus far every Asian airline (Japan Air, Korean Air, and Asiana) I have flown on completely dominates over their American competitors. There is so much more room! I find this strange considering that in general Asians are much smaller than Americans. However, you will not find me complaining.

2. Downside: they check your bags twice, the second time right before you board. Any liquids you have purchased in the airport are tossed. This was especially annoying my first flight, as I bought two bottled waters for the trip.

Upside: They provide complimentary water bottles in your seat.

3. Everything is free; including beer and wine.

4. Asiana airlines passes out a complimentary toothbrush, toothpaste, house slippers and sleep masks to everyone on board. 

5. Many Asians brush their teeth and wash their faces and bodies in the airport. I never understood where they got the toothpaste until my last flight.

6. I was offered steak, carrots and broccoli as a meal. From where I'm coming from, it was an amazing steak dinner. The best I've had in Korea.

7. I didn't make any special requests or pay any extra money, but one of my seats was randomly in first class. It was absolutely amazing; I could turn it into a bed. From Japan to Korea, I was in heaven.

Sydney

1. They allowed me to take food and bottled water with me on the flight. No problem.

2. I didn't have to take off my shoes.

3. I was randomly selected to be checked for explosives in my carry-on, and the two elderly workers giggled the whole time and told me about all the Australian food I needed to buy in the airport before boarding the plane.
