This may be a dumb question...
We're flying SEA-ICN in a week, Prestige Class on a 777-300ER, and looking forward to it. I can login on KE.com, access our booking, and there's an option to choose "in-flight meal selection". The options listed are simply "Special in-flight meals" or "Not requested. If I select "Special" the options are Vegetarian, Religious, Controlled Diet, etc. If you select one of those, you can choose fruit, etc. But there are no options (at least none that I can see) to select the non-special meal options.
If I simply follow the higher-level menu to "In-Flight > In-Flight Service > In-flight Meals > click Prestige class, enter departure/arrival cities, date etc., I see there will be a First Meal, a Second Meal, and the choices for Korean/Western/Western (Bibimbap, grilled beef tenderloin, roasted cod).
But I see no place to specify my choice there, either. Does that man that they will load enough that I'm more-or-less guaranteed the meal of my choice (that seems unlikely), or am I missing the option somewhere?
Once I check-in (which now appears to be an available option, at T-7 days...I have not checked in yet), will I then be able to choose meal options? Or will that not be available until I'm actually seated on the plane?
Thanks.

Advice for pescatarian/vegetarian flying KE Prestige class
Hello- I am hoping for some advice from experienced KE flyers as I’ve not flown this airline before.
I am booked in prestige JFK to ICN to BBK.
I eat fish but no other meat.
How does KE do with regard to non pork/beef/chicken options?
if ordering a special meal is the best option, has anyone sampled their veg Korean menu offerings?
much thanks!

ZRH - ICN (KE918), July 2024
Enjoyed the quality of the catering from ZRH. Better IMO than other European points of departure I have experienced (although I would have replaced the goat cheese amuse-bouche with something else, as there is already cream cheese in the appetizer, and a cheese platter for dessert).
