They have an excellent safety rating.

They are definitely not cheap!

Incheon airport is a lovely place to wait, Gimpo I do not know.
But if you have time then you can take the bus to Incheon town itself which is a great place to wander round.

It must have improved, I last flew with them in 1999, at the time they had a terrible reputation, and back then they were cheap, and with good reason.
Looking at wikipedia it shows they had many incidents during the 1990s, but not so many now so maybe they have got their act together.
Currently they are rated around 50th for safety, which I guess is not too bad

24 years ago Domodedovo (http://www.domodedovo.ru/en/) was a terrible airport to wait for a flight at and Aeroflot domestic planes had overhead luggage shelves!.

You have a short memory. I would not travel on them and have told my kids never to.

Air New Zealand flew into a mountain but everybody seems happy enough to get on their planes these days  .

Not AIR, but bad look for United Airlines
http://www.courier-journal.com/story...lle/100274374/
Overbooked a flight, let everyone board, then decide that 4 passengers need to be offloaded, no one puts their hands up, so 4 chosen at random, one refuses, gets man handled off the flight...

That can't be good publicity for the airline.
Especially as it was so their own people could go instead.
Lawsuit coming I'd say - this is the USA!
