Cons: No entertainment, no place to plug in devices, extremely uncomfortable. The worst part was the Dixie cup of water served. Really?!? A bottle or larger cup would have broke the bank? Was so thirsty by the time we landed even though I had the attendants bring me water three times.

Good Value and Service!
Pros: Good value for the money. Flight crew was young and exuberant, very willing to make the passengers journey as comfy as possible. Surprised an inflight meal and two checked bags were included in my fare. Other international carriers would have charged extra! Hope this Korean Air economy carrier sticks around. Hope to fly them again!
Cons: The plane was on the old side with worn seat cushions. Not the most comfy for long haul flights. No pillows, blankets or inflight entertainment. Do bring your own blanket or jacket and do not forget the snacks!review from

Great Airline, Great Service
Pros: We were actually on Korean Air, not Jin Air due to our change in schedule. Korean Air staff in Hanoi were truly excellent. They even followed thru so that staff in Seoul assisted us with our connection. We were very impressed. Korean Air's flight attendants have always been professional and courteous. The level of service is superior to most airlines we've used.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.review from

No indication you were to check in with a different airline
Cons: Please indicate in bold print which airline you check in with if two or more are listed! Due to the ambiguity on our reservation we nearly missed our flight. Many other passengers on this flight had the same problem.review from

Overview of Jin Air
Commencing operations in 2008, Jin Air is a South Korean airline that has its primary hub in Seoul. Primarily focusing on international services, it flies to more than 10 countries and states across the Asia-Pacific region, which include Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, China and the Philippines. To help ease traffic demands, additional hubs are located in Busan and Jeju.
Functioning as a low-cost carrier, the carrier targets budget-conscious vacationers traveling across Asia. In order to keep operating costs down, Jin Air schedules only nonstop flights within a moderate distance area. Codeshare agreements are held with the Jetstar Group and Korean Air to deliver a wider-reaching group of destinations. Customers can book flights to Singapore and Australia through its partnership with the band of Jetstar airlines.
All passengers are seated within the same Economy cabin, meaning there is no preferential treatment or class separation. Upgrades can be made prior to boarding to secure an emergency exit row seat with additional legroom or a front zone seat close to the exit doors. Free checked baggage is included on all fares.
Jin Air chooses to operate an all-Boeing fleet of aircraft. Narrow-body jets, such as the 737 Next Generation series, are favored due to their fuel efficiency and suitability for the Asian region. One of the largest models in the fleet is the 777-200ER, which can hold roughly 393 passengers. The planes have a distinctive fluorescent yellow marking on both the tail and engines. A unique 737-800 is decorated with a Green Wings livery to promote the airline’s Esports brand.
