From what I know, the only direct flights from Singapore to Seoul are available only by Korean Air, Asiana and Singapore Airline. Flight duration was about hrs with an hour of timing difference (when it's 6am in SG, it's 7 am in Seoul)

From the Embassy of the Republic of Korea to the Republic of Singapore's website: "Singapore nationals travelling to Korea for a period of up to 90 days do not need a visa under the Visa Exemption Agreement between the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Singapore . "

Although its been ages since I've had asiana airlines, i still wan to do at tip for historical purposes. Asiana is one of the two main airlines based in Korea, Asiana was established on 17 February 1988 and started operations in December 1988 with flights to Busan. It was formed by the Kumho Asiana Group (formerly Kumho Group) as part of the South Korean government's policy to create a second flag carrier and was originally known as Seoul Air International. Asiana operates to 12 Korean destinations and 73 international destinations in 17 countries. Their international hub is Incheon and their domestic hub is Gimpo

The new electronic seats of Prestige Class are easy to use and are remarkably comfortable providing various positions and customized adjustments. Each seat has a power outlet for laptops and a new Audio & Video on Demand system (AVOD) that is incredible! The sound system is excellent and AVOD offers over 40 feature films, 60 short films, 16 music channels, and 55 music albums. The system is installed in every seat back and allows playback and/or a quick search of music and movies with a “touch screen” feature.

Each guest receives a pair of Korean slippers for the flight and rather than a traditional amenity kit, personal items like razor, sleep masks, toothbrush, etc. Korean dishes featured the popular “Bibimbap” offered with minced beef, vegetables, sesame oil and Korean hot pepper paste (which i did not put since it is very Spicy!). Additional Korean fare included Korean style porridge or spiced fish cakes with chili dipping sauce.

I booked my flight through Delta Airlines who partners with Korean Air. So, I'm not sure if I could have had a better price direct with Korean Air. Next time, I would check it out. I must say, I was impressed with this airline. Airplane food is never great but their food was decent. Plentiful amount of drink was available and snacks are provided in between the meals.

The plane we took going to South Korea had video monitors built right into the seat in front of you. A selection of about a dozen current feature films were available to choose from along with trip info & map, short films and documentaries and some recorded television shows. Really liked this! My ear buds headset for my Palm Pilot worked when I plugged it into the armrest to listen to the movie. On the return flight to Los Angeles, we must have boarded an older plane because we didn't have the video monitors on the way home.

All in all, Korean Air was a pretty good experience.
