Shares are the observed mix across the routes we track, from Flightradar24 flight history resolved to individual registrations. They describe our tracked network, not Korean Air's whole A330-300 fleet — and a version we haven't measured would not appear here at all.
How to Tell Which One You're Getting
Prestige Class (Prestige Suites)8.4/10
Korean Air's newer A330-300 business cabin is the Collins Aerospace (formerly B/E) Apex Suite — marketed as Prestige Suites — in a staggered 2-2-2 layout with 24 seats. Window seats sit offset behind the adjacent aisle seat, creating a private corridor that gives every seat direct aisle access. Seats are 21 inches (53 cm) wide with a 75-inch (190 cm) pitch and convert to a fully flat bed of 73 inches (185 cm). There is no suite door; centre pairs share an adjustable privacy divider, while window seats gain strong natural enclosure from the stagger. Same seat hardware as the 787-9 and legacy 777-300ER Prestige cabins.
- Staggered 2-2-2 where window seats sit aft of the aisle seat with their own corridor
- Collins Aerospace (B/E) Apex Suite — same seat as Korean Air's 787-9 and legacy 777-300ER Prestige cabins
- No suite door — high shells and dividers instead
- 24-seat Prestige cabin on the 272-seat A330-300 configuration
Prestige Class (Prestige Sleeper)6.0/10
Korean Air's older A330-300 business cabin, the Prestige Sleeper, is a fully flat 180-degree bed seat in a standard 2-2-2 layout. Because the seats are not staggered, window passengers do not have direct aisle access and must step past the adjacent aisle passenger. Seats are 20.1 inches (51 cm) wide with a 78–80-inch (198–203 cm) pitch and convert to a flat bed of 73 inches (185 cm), with no privacy doors or dividers. Each seat has a 15.4-inch LCD monitor with a touchscreen remote and one-touch recline controls. Flies on both the 276- and 284-seat A330-300 configurations.
- Straight 2-2-2 rows with seats aligned, not offset
- Window seat pairs share a single aisle with no direct access for the window seat
- One-touch flat-bed recline with adjustable backrest and legrest
- No enclosed shell, door, or side divider
