Business Class Glamping: $5,468 for Mushrooms, Champagne, and No WiFi
KEY POINTS
- •Amber Gibson paid $5,468 for a Chicago to Bangkok round trip flying Korean Air business class with a Seoul layover.
- •She experienced the new Prestige Suites 2.0 with tall walls and nearly closable doors on the Seoul-Bangkok leg.
- •Despite the luxurious food, extensive charging options, and free champagne, complimentary WiFi was unavailable, costing $10.95 for two hours.
Amber Gibson splurged $5,468 on a Chicago-Bangkok round trip aboard Korean Air’s Prestige Suites 2.0, effectively paying a king’s ransom for a seat cocooned by four-foot walls and sliding doors that won’t close without government permission. Her six-hour Seoul-Bangkok hop featured a menu in three languages, boasting roasted shiitake mushrooms in hot pepper sauce (tofu health nuts, rejoice) plus fiery chicken that could char your WiFi-deprived soul. Champagne flowed freely—Charles Heidsieck 2018 and Rare Champagne 2015 vintage—but Wifi was an annoying $10.95 for two hours, because apparently privacy means no peeking on Netflix, too. Slippers and Frette blankets completed the spa vibe, proving some luxuries still require paperwork and surcharge.
