Asian airports’ good impression

My wife, Lois, and I traveled in Asia for five weeks, June 24-July 27, 2012. Organizing 35,000 miles of travel on 15 flights was a challenge met by our travel agent, Dorothy Pogge of Lawrence Travel Leaders (785/842-4000), and all flights went smoothly, with acceptable delays.

Service on Korean Airlines, our main overseas carrier, was fabulous, and Seoul’s Incheon Airport provided entertainment, making it a delightful place to enjoy a layover, as were the Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok airports. (Did I just admit to enjoying layovers?) 

During an 11-hour layover, Lois bought two tops and two pairs of pants for $80 at a clothing sale in the Hong Kong International Airport mall, a tourist destination in itself, where we could have even watched an IMAX movie. The quality and variety of the restaurants are as good as what’s found in the US.
