The Korean Air Prestige Suite, based on the highly regarded Apex Suite design, is an enclosed business class product featuring privacy partitions and staggered window seats for unparalleled personal space.
What Is the Prestige Suite?
The Prestige Suite is Korean Air's enclosed business class product, built on the Adient Aerospace Apex Suite design and featuring a sliding privacy door, direct-aisle access, and a fully lie-flat seat. It debuted on Korean Air's Boeing 787-10 fleet, marking the airline's shift from open business class seats to a fully enclosed suite format.
The Prestige Suite replaces Korean Air's older Prestige Class seating on select aircraft, bringing the airline in line with competitors like Delta One and Qatar Qsuite that already offered door-equipped business class. The design emphasizes personal space through staggered window seating and solid partitions rather than fabric or low dividers.
Key Features
The Prestige Suite is arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, giving every passenger direct aisle access regardless of seat assignment. Each suite includes a sliding door for full enclosure, a fully flat-bed seat, and staggered positioning at the windows to increase shoulder room and reduce sightlines into neighboring suites. The seat is based on the Apex Suite platform co-developed by Adient Aerospace, a design also adapted by other global carriers for their premium cabins.
Where to Find It
The Prestige Suite currently flies on Korean Air's Boeing 787-10 aircraft. Korean Air has positioned the suite as its flagship business class product going forward, with the airline continuing to expand the 787-10 fleet on select international routes. Travelers should confirm aircraft type at booking, since older 777 and A330 Prestige Class cabins on some routes have not yet been retrofitted with the suite design.
Traveler Tip
Book a window suite (A or K) on the 787-10 for maximum privacy from the staggered layout, and always verify the aircraft type before purchasing, since not all Korean Air business class routes yet feature the Prestige Suite.
