Korean Air is known for providing top-notch service and meals. Even in the economy class, passengers can enjoy plenty of legroom and delicious snacks and meals. On my round trip flight, I was served either a 6-inch sub sandwich and a hot pocket, or a full-size sub sandwich as snacks, which were fresh and tasty. For meals, passengers can choose from bibimbap, American, or Chinese options. I personally recommend the bibimbap, but the other choices won't disappoint either. Additionally, on the longer flight from Korea to DFW, toothbrush, toothpaste, and slippers were provided to ensure a comfortable flight.
