You did get lucky. I tried for weeks on end to get JFK ICN available in O. No luck. Had to settle for LAX outbound and ATL home. Although i did get the domestic segments in F put in at no additional miles per the fare rules. An inexperienced agent may try to fight you on it but they are wrong and sometimes have an an attitude about it when they are made to realize it by a supervisor!

All praise the lord - I can finally use my half million miles ^
Now if I can only find a way to book JFK-ICN-MLE (via CMB). KE allows it, but last time I tried DL said no.

Yep, lots of availability at low rates on lots of days to many destinations. Get 'em while they are there...it's only a matter of time before a) more people realize how many seats on KE in business there are or b) this could be a mistake and DL or KE pulls them.
