Asiana 747-48E is a Combi built in 1997. With not that many Combi's in service I was glad of the opportunity to fly in one - and even better in first! Here we are due to depart on OZ750 HKG-ICN, an EQV flight that could have produced anything from Asiana's fleet except an A320. There are two ICN/HKG rotations within about 45 minutes of each other and on our outward flights these produced a 767 and A330, On the date of our return it was an A380 and 747-48E HL7423. Although I still have to sample an A380, I would choose the 'Queen of The Skies' every time!

One of those moments on ANA when I don't know what I'm eating. I find their catering ex-Japan tends to be more "adventurous," perhaps more authentic than from their other ports.

Croissant Ispahan, "a signature flavor of Pierre Herme Paris. Rose, lychee and raspberry resonate over the palate."
