Flight attendants reveal more secrets about their home cities

In last month’s edition of InTouch, we shared with you our new posters featuring top travel tips from flight attendants across the globe.

They provided some fascinating insights – we hope you’ve picked up lots of inspiration about what to see and do in their home cities!

In this edition, we’ve asked Korean Air’s Kim Yujin and Delta’s Princeton Richardson to share some more top tips about their home cities of Seoul and Atlanta.

 

Here’s what they said:

 

Three phrases that come to mind when you think of your city

Kim: Passionate, hospitable, high-technology

Princeton: Great food, great weather, great people.

 

Must-see sight

Kim: Namsan Seoul Tower in the heart of the capital offers an impressive city view from the Namsam mountain. Visit in the evening and enjoy a night view of Seoul.

Princeton: The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

 

Best time of year to visit

Princeton: September or October when it’s not too hot or too cold.

Kim: Spring – especially April when millions of cherry blossoms burst into bloom. It feels like streets are carpeted in snow on a sunny day. Seoul’s most famous spots for cherry blossom are Yeouido and Seokchon Lake.

Best way to get around town

Kim: Seoul has an excellent Subway network with coverage across the city and surrounding area, and everything is signposted in English for visitors.

Princeton: Atlanta is infamous for its traffic, but the best way to get around is by car.

 

Must-eat dish

Kim: Bibimbap, which literally means ‘mixed rice’. It’s rice topped with vegetables, meat, or eggs, and offers a harmony of colors and balanced nutrition. Korean Air serves bibimbap as an in-flight meal, so don’t miss the chance when you fly with us!

Princeton: Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings. And you can’t come to Atlanta without having some good sweet tea or peach cobbler!

 

A great day trip from your city

Princeton: Lake Lanier is a fun day trip. There’s all kinds of water activities and beautiful scenery to take advantage of. The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is also a hidden gem – it’s home to more than 100,000 marine animals!

Best neighborhood

Princeton: I love Midtown – you get a little bit of everything and everyone. There’s so much to do and it’s filled with people from many different backgrounds.

 

Symbolic souvenir

Kim: Hanji is traditional handmade Korean paper and there are various handicrafts you can create from it. Rather than buying souvenirs at the shops, visit a craft atelier and make your own unique Hanji fan or plate.

Princeton: A Delta Airplane or a pair of flight-attendant wings. And if you’re looking for an experience that will make you feel like a local, head to the Mercedes Benz stadium for a Falcons or Atlanta United game.

 

A fun fact about your city

Kim: If you order one Korean dish at a restaurant, it usually comes with several complimentary side dishes, plus free refills.
