Korean Air Takes the Top Spot in 2023 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards

In a resounding win, Korean Air’s premium class service soared to the number one spot in the prestigious 2023 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Not content with just one accolade, the airline also secured the second position for its inflight cuisine and a remarkable sixth place for its exceptional cabin crew.

Recognizing Excellence

The USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards are a testament to the best in various categories. Nominees are initially chosen by a panel of industry experts before the final decision is placed in the hands of USA Today readers, who cast their votes for their favorites.

Korean Air’s First Class and Prestige Class services have consistently received high praise from both critics and customers. The USA Today announcement paints a picture of the luxurious First Class experience on Korean Air, highlighting private spaces, lie-flat sleeper seats, and generous entertainment screens. Moreover, passengers are treated to an in-flight amenity kit from Atelier Cologne and are indulged with upgraded culinary delights.

A Feast in the Sky

The second-place honor in the 10 Best Inflight Food category is a testament to Korean Air’s commitment to culinary excellence. The airline’s seasonal offerings, wide array of traditional Korean dishes, and special snack services on long-haul flights have not gone unnoticed. Earlier this year, Korean Air introduced a delightful twist to their menu, incorporating Korean-style vegan meal options inspired by traditional temple cuisine. Additionally, they raised the bar by unveiling a new selection of 52 meticulously curated wines, a collaborative effort with the globally renowned sommelier, Marc Almert.

A Track Record of Excellence

Korean Air’s dedication to providing top-notch services continues to garner accolades from various quarters. In May, they secured a prestigious five-star airline rating for the second time from Skytrax, a globally respected airline consulting and evaluation firm. Furthermore, they clinched the top position in the 2023 Global Customer Satisfaction Index Awards for an impressive 19th consecutive year.

Korean Air has not only reached for the skies but has also achieved a zenith in the eyes of its passengers, making it a front-runner in the airline industry’s prestigious awards and recognitions.
