Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew Air Premia from Incheon to LAX in Economy Standard. They had a scale right at the boarding gate in Seoul! My carry-on was 9.7 kg, passed by a hair. Remember the 10 kg limit includes your personal item too, so be careful with heavy laptops and camera gear.
Flew ICN to LAX last month. Incheon security is super strict with liquids — every bottle gets pulled out and scanned. Make sure all your toiletries are under 100ml and in a clear bag, otherwise they will get tossed no questions asked.
Booked Economy Standard and they weighed my carry-on at the gate in Seoul. Mine was 11.3kg and they made me move stuff to my checked bag. The 10kg limit is enforced, not just a suggestion. Personal item weight counts toward that total too.
Took Air Premia to New York in Wide Premium. Two 32kg checked bags included is a huge perk compared to other carriers. Bag drop was quick and both suitcases arrived in perfect condition. Great value if you pack heavy for long trips.
