Korean Air’s 787-10 business class suites soar into Sydney
It’s an Australian debut for the private suites, which are now flying daily between Sydney and Seoul.

High-walled suites with sliding privacy doors, large lush 4K video screens, wireless and USB-C charging – business class just keeps getting better, and Australia continues to see the latest at the pointy end of the plane.
Case in point: Korean Air is now flying its Prestige Suites 2.0 daily between Sydney and Seoul.
Korean Air's new Prestige Suites 2.0 business class.
They’re a totally modern and sophisticated take on the South Korean flag-carrier’s original Prestige Suites business class, with highlights including:
- 51”-high walls with a sliding door
- 24” (60cm) 4K monitors which stream Bluetooth to the passenger’s own headphones or earbuds
- wireless device charging, AC and two high-speed USB-C sockets, and
- plenty of personal space and storage

The staggered 1-2-1 layout has the middle seats set close together in ‘honeymoon mode’, with a divider which can be lowered to allow partners to cuddle above the clouds in a 46”-wide double bed.

However, the high-speed Wi-Fi isn’t complimentary in business class. To stay connected en route, you’ll be up for:
- US$6 for text-only messaging access across the entire flight
- US$11 for two hours of full Internet access
- US$21 for Internet access throughout the flight

These new Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners also lack premium economy, which is currently slated to arrive on the airline’s upgraded Boeing 777s.

As previously reported, Korean Air is embarking on a transformative mission to become one of Asia’s largest airlines, following its US$1.3bn takeover of rival Asiana.
The airline aims to transform itself from a Korean flag-carrier “to an international carrier based in Korea.”

Well this looks considerably better than the Boeing 777 J class 2-3-2 travesty they have been flying all year Sydney-Seoul!

Can the suite doors be closed? On a recent Korean Air 787-10 flight the doors were locked open for the entire flight. And request to close were denied "due to operational reasons".
