Asiana Airlines offers ‘royal business’ service
[THE INVESTOR] Asiana Airlines is offering business travelers on B747s the choice of flying in first-class seats for an additional fee, according to the airline on June 5.
The airline does not offer first-class cabins on flights other than New York, Los Angeles and Frankfurt routes, which utilize the A380. However, the B747s are fitted with 10 first-class seats that can be used by business travelers who choose to upgrade to royal business.
The upgrade costs 50,000 won ($45) one-way for flights to Japan, China and Northeast Asia, and 100,000 won for flights to Southeast Asia.
The service only offers first-class seats, with other services and mileage points following business class standards.
