Last year when I went to Seoul from ATL, they gave me business seat in upper deck.

I'm going to Seould this Dec and am wondering if I can get business seat, hopefully. ]]> Korean Air Skypass MPower78 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1018408-ke-744-upperdeck.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1018397-ameminity-kit-y.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:45:03 GMT Doesn't KE offer an amenity kit in long haul ecnonomy class anymore?
I just flew KE018 LAX-ICN yesterday, and they didn't offer any amenity kit during the flight. Is it just only my flight that didn't offer it or they decided not to give it to Y passengers anymore because of budget problems? ]]> Korean Air Skypass speedbird0125 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1018397-ameminity-kit-y.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1018396-transferring-skypass-skymiles.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:43:03 GMT Does anyone know a way to transfer Korean Air SkyPass miles over to a Delta SkyMiles account?

The connection time in Incheon is about 45 minutes. When the reservations agent said "let me check if that is permissible" she came back and said 45 mins is the minimum connection time allowed. Both flts are on KE and we can check our bags through from JFK.

So, do we just assume this is doable? Do we have to clear any type of immigration in Incheon if we are just connecting? If its a KE to KE transfer, both int'l, does that make things quicker?

Also, the aircraft would be the new 300 ER. In terms of Y seats across the Pacific is this one of my better options nowadays? KE doesn't have premium economy, apparently. Seating is 3-3-3 in Y and we are four traveling together. Thus, we would prefer 2-2 seats but, that isn't an option on the 300 ERs. ]]> Korean Air Skypass flyr16 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1016710-minimum-connection-time-incheon.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1016367-11nov09-korean-air-summer-10-north-america-expansion.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:41:43 GMT *All data _as of 11NOV09_ and is subject to change* Korean Air is increasing frequencies and capacity on following routes during 2010 Summer season. * Seoul - Atlanta* increase from 7 to 10 weekly from 02AUG10 *Seoul - Dallas* Boeing 747-400...

I've just flown from London to Seoul and back on Korean Air. I thought I can register for a frequen flyer program later and redeem the miles when I get back to London. However, I called the local Korean Air office and was informed that I only can accumulate miles for the flights I make after the registration.

I know that many airlines allow claiming miles for flights taken within certain period before the registration. I suspect there may be some Skyteam members that allow claiming miles even for partner airline flights, but I haven't seen them yet.

Do you think there's still a way for me to claim miles for these flights or they're gone? ]]> Korean Air Skypass bpmd http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1012392-enrolling-skypass-after-flight.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/korean-air-skypass/1011019-combining-award-paid-travel.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:51:45 GMT Through the use of the excellent Family Plan my family has enough miles for one award ticket ORD-ICN.

This is my first time joining a travel forum, but I have an upcoming trip so I really need your assistance/ideas for the whole trip. I will be traveling to Beijing on a business school trip for a week in the third week of April and plan to stop by Seoul to visit family before returning back to Houston. I don't travel very much so here are my accumulate miles so far:

AA: 5162 miles
Continental: 5137 miles
KoreanAir: 14295 miles/27949 miles (mother)

I know Korean Air allows mileage sharing with family so I can combine her miles with mine. I have read their website but it doesnt seem to be super clear, so here are my questions.....

1) I know Continental currently is the same alliance as KE but i believe that will change soon correct? How does that effect this?
2) How does the mile sharing work? and how many miles do I need to upgrade and/or get a free ticket (I know I'm probably way under, but possibly for future use)
3) Whats the best way to book this flight to minimize my time in the air/waiting in airports? I'm open to any routes but when I use Expedia, almost all my routes use Continental since I am based out of Houston.
4) if I wanted to book through LAX (Korean Air Hubs), how would I book this flight? Should I just say screw it and try to fly another airline?
5) Would this be fairly (within reason) cost effective? Alot of flights to China seem to be cheaper via United....

I haven't been out of the country in nearly 9 years, so I'd like to make this trip as painless as possible given that I have school things to deal with while I'm in China. Thanks sooooo much in advance.

P.S. I think I have a $350 voucher for Continental b/c I missed a flight to L.A. due to work

P.P.S. I hope I posted this in the right forum.
