I have found Korean Air to be cheaper to Atlanta from Manila rather than Delta with fewer connecting flights. Has this not been the case for you?

Please tell me how you flew to atlanta with gewer connections than Delta? On Delta you fly manila- Narita and then Narita- Atlanta non-stop.. You stating that Korean offers fewer connections would mean you went Manila non-stop to Atlanta..

Never heard of Korean Air going from Manila straight to Atlanta. Korean Air's portal for international flights is in Seoul.

You may find some local third world airlines that have "bad safety record" but with any international airline that flies in US air space you are in good hands .

I have used Delta many times without incident and service was ok.

My absolute favorite is Korean Air. The service even in coach is amazing.

Ditto I love KAL

No, I said Manila to Atlanta as in start to finish. Yes, Seoul was the ONLY stop between Atlanta in Manila which is awesome!

Nope, my saying that doesn't mean that at all. Many flights I have found (and one I took) actually went from Atlanta-Detroit-Nagoya-Manila. I flew Korean Air Atlanta-Seoul-Manila. It may be one less stop, but this still qualifies as less. Also, It can mean a couple of hours or more difference as well. I usually don't find a better deal with Delta between the two airlines and my route, and it was the difference of a few hundred dollars when I flew Korean Air.

I should add that I have seen the Atlanta-Narita-Manila route with Delta as well, and it didn't come out cheaper than Korean Air with equal stops at the time I was looking. Experiences can vary, but this is mine. I like both airlines, but I will be comparing between the two from now on.

Agree. If you get an older Delta airline your entertainment will not be the best. I has one of the older ones when I flew in January and didn't have individual tv's. There was 3 large tvs for an entire section and the quality was poor.

Me too + crabby flight attendants. But it got me to where I needed to be.

No, sad to say. I do wanted to try KAL because of their food. :no:

Probably because of the dates and timelines I was searching, IDK.

I always fly Delta flight 295 nonstop from Atlanta to Narita. 1 hour 40 minute stop at Narita, and then flight 173 to Manila. Total travel time is like 19 hours. I have not found anything faster.

Yeah the time of year/time of flight and time of booking can all make a difference for sure.

I've done the PDX (Portland, OR) to NIA (Tokyo) to MNL and back 3 times with Delta and never had a problem. They always seem to be the cheapest when I search for tickets, with 18-19 hours total travel time. If everything goes well with my wife's med exam/interview we'll use Delta again in September since they're one of the few airlines that will let her fly at 8 months pregnant.
