Shanghai + Beijing Trip - Flight into Seoul

The trip started with a direct flight from JFK to Seoul on Jan 13th. I was dreading the drive from Morristown to JFK, but it turned out to be a breeze with virtually no traffic. Reached JFK in 70 minutes flat. Checking in at the Korean Air terminal was an even better experience. Unlike the crowded Delta / Northwest Terminal, I was checked-in and ready to go in 10 minutes. Got an aisle seat in exit row, which was great for a 14 hour non-stop flight. Service is the name of the game in Korean Air. The US and European airlines have a lot to learn from their Asian counterparts when it comes to service. Managed to watch 3 movies on the way as well as reading the WSJ from cover to cover. Landed at Seoul airport around 5:00pm. Caught the bus ($14) to the hotel (Grand Hyatt - Seoul), checked in and ready to explore the city.
