'World's worst airline' launches world's worst booking site

North Korea's national carrier Air Koryo, which has the lowest airline rating on Skytrax, has discovered the Internet.

The state-owned company -- regarded by some as the "world's worst airline" -- recently launched a bilingual website (www.airkoryo.com.kp) to provide travelers with "easier, quicker, reliable booking and ticketing services," according to Air Koryo. Air Koryo's new ticket booking system reinforces the company's less-than-brilliant reputation.

After multiple trials to book a one-way ticket from Shengyang to Pyongyang, we failed to secure any reservation. Instead, we ended up with this message day after day: “We cannot find any flights for your flight schedule. Please change your schedule and try again.”

OTOH, Korea Air, the airline of the ROK (”South Korea”) is the best I've ever traveled on, by far. I just had to think of something and there were two stewardesses there to help me. And each one looked like a beauty pageant winner and nice as pie.

“OK, Yank, NO insult Dear Leader or you go out!”

Just imagine the living hell those girls have to go through to get/keep those flight attendant jobs.

They must have their families under close surveillance because they must think about defecting every time they land in Beijing.

“a one-way ticket from Shengyang to Pyongyang”

There’s something kind of ominous about the idea of taking a one-way trip to North Korea...

I loved flying on Korea Air, too. Great service, nice plane, the works. Wished I could have married half the flight attendants.

Especially when flown by Captain Sum Ting Wong.

I would LOVE to fly on Korean Air, it must be lightyears ahead of the U.S. Airlines.

Hell, I take that back, you don't need to go forward, just backward, Even to like the 70's, It had to better than this.

And that was in 1979, I can’t even imagine how nice they are now, but their commercials give a hint.

[2ndDivisionVet]

It’s kind of both.
