Criminal behaviour by Korean Air
I have come into contact with Korean Air during a Thyphoon, which is a tipical situation for the area and theyr standard operating procedures were shockingly unethical.
My story. I've flown into Incheong having an 8 hour flight at 8 a.m. on the 28th of August 2012. 10 a.m. was my flight to Taipei, they put us in a plane and kept there untill about 13:30, then they promissed a hotel room and sent to another desk, the desk didn't provide a room and rescheduled us to a 17:05 flight, which was delayed untill about 22:00 and they kept us aboard next to a terminal builbing untill 4 a.m. Then as we were complaining they provided 3 business lounge passes to 3 people out of the whole plain.
Outrageous practice, as they know just too well that if a thyphon is blowing it takes a day or two to pass, and I believe they have forecasts. Therefore the only reason to keep passengers in planes outside the terminal for 6 hours at a time is to avoid buing them a hotel room. The staff overall is helpless and at times blackmailing (take this flight or one night in a hotel, but the flights are full for the next 3 days. after 50 hours with no sleep it's a hard choice and the flight they pressure you for doesn't take off (staff at gate 20 the night of 28-29th)). All european passengers were shocked. The staff dissapears after making promisses and excuses and you never see the same people again.
Never fly Korean.
