Korean Air 747-8I Prestige Class (Prestige Suites) cabin — **Korean Air Prestige Class (Prestige Suites)** · Boeing 747-8IConfig 74H

Korean Air's 747-8i Prestige Class is the Collins Aerospace (formerly B/E) Apex Suite — marketed as Prestige Suites — split across two decks. The main deck holds 26 seats in a staggered 2-2-2 layout; the upper deck holds a further 22 in a staggered 2-2 layout, for 48 in total. On both decks window seats sit offset behind the adjacent aisle seat, creating a private entry 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), with a wide open footwell rather than an enclosed cubby. There is no suite door; centre pairs share an adjustable privacy divider, while window seats gain strong natural enclosure from the stagger and from the large storage lockers built into the window side. The upper deck is the quieter half of the cabin — 22 seats, four per row, and no through-traffic to economy. Same seat hardware as Korean Air's 787-9, A330-300 and legacy 777-300ER Prestige cabins. IFE is a 17-inch personal LCD monitor with a 3.7-inch touchscreen remote.

Strategic Seating

Best Rows

Upper deck seats — only 22 up there, four per row, and no traffic passing through to economy; the most private part of the cabin
Window seats (A/K) on either deck — the stagger puts them furthest from the aisle, with the large window-side storage locker

Rows to Avoid

Centre pair on the main deck — the least enclosed seats in the cabin
Aisle-adjacent seats in each pair are more exposed to cabin traffic than the staggered window seats
First and last rows of each section sit closest to galleys and lavatories
