Easy and Enjoyable Experience
I traveled to Mongolia on a MIAT flight from Seoul to Ulaanbaatar, on the Boeing 767. The flight left on time, the seat was clean, and the breakfast was delicious. The crew was cordial and pointed out fantastic landscapes to view as we were landing in Ulaanbaatar. The air ticket price was very reasonable for such a wonderful experience. The onboard service was excellent and the food was great. I was amazed to see such good customer support. Overall, it was just a smooth and enjoyable experience, so I recommend this airline.
Wide Seats
My return trip on a Boeing 767-300ER from Ulaanbaatar to Seoul Incheon was fairly uneventful. Check-in was straightforward and my bags were admitted as hand luggage without much examination. The seats are pretty wide, with a 2-3-2 seat design in economy. Services during the trip were high quality and the food was delicious.
