3. Incheon-Xi'an KE141 Flight Review


Incheon-Xi'an KE141 📍 Departure: Incheon International Airport T2 ICN, 9:10 AM 📍 Arrival: Xi'an International Airport XIY, 11:30 AM Flight Time: 3 hours 20 minutes 📌 Checked Baggage: 23kg Carry-on Baggage: 10kg |
You can board **Korean Air Incheon-Xi'an flights** at **Incheon International Airport Terminal 2**.
After checking in at **Counter B**, I was able to drop off my **checked baggage myself**.
We had already selected our seats with online check-in!


We boarded at Gate **214**, which was quite far, being at the very end!


Seating
The aircraft was an **Airbus A321neo**, with **Prestige Class in a 2-2 configuration and Economy Class in a 3-3 configuration**. I flew in Economy Class.


True to Korean Air, the cabin was impeccably clean,
and the seats, perfect for a short international flight,
weren't uncomfortable at all for someone of average female height like me!


They had so many recent dramas and movies,
the entertainment options were incredibly diverse!
I was even surprised to find some films I'd recently seen in theaters.


You could charge devices via USB,
and earphones were provided separately.

In-flight Meal
Since I boarded in the morning, the in-flight meal was
served as brunch, which I thought was a thoughtful touch. Haha!

4. Xi'an-Incheon KE142 Flight Review


Xi'an-Incheon KE142 📍 Departure: Xi'an International Airport XIY, 12:40 PM 📍 Arrival: Incheon International Airport T2 ICN, 4:40 PM Flight Time: 3 hours 📌 Checked Baggage: 23kg Carry-on Baggage: 10kg |
For the return flight, check-in was available at Counter G,
and because many passengers were connecting through Korea to the US,
the check-in process took quite a while!

At Gate 269, the airport interior was spacious and comfortable.


Seating
The aircraft was an Airbus A330-300,
with a 2-4-2 seating arrangement. If two of you are traveling,
be sure to book a window pair in advance!


The seats had the same spaciousness as the outbound flight,
and they even provided a pillow, which made it extra comfortable.


In-flight Meal
On the way back, since it was an afternoon flight,
I had a hearty meal of beef rice bowl, salad, fruit, and bread.
It was a diverse and satisfying spread.
If you need gochujang (Korean chili paste), just ask the crew,
and they'll provide it separately! Keep that in mind!
