The KE024 flight operates on a B777-300ER aircraft, which features a 3-3-3 seating configuration.
I was assigned seat 50J. The flight was completely full, so I didn't have many options, but personally, I find aisle seats much more comfortable for long-haul flights, especially for easier access to the restrooms.
However, the views of San Francisco from the window were absolutely breathtaking!

The seatback screens offer a wide selection of the latest movies, TV shows, and even travel information to keep you entertained.
