What partners allow transfers of points into Korean Airlines?
I am attempting to determine if I can quickly build sufficient points in a new Korean Airlines account to book two one way First class tickets to Asia. I need 105K points x 2.
Is there any option I've failed to consider?
- I can move 170K Ultimate Rewards points leaving me 40K points to find
- I have AMEX Membership Rewards points. Apparently KE was a partner in the past but is not currently.
- I have Starwood points but KE is not listed as a partner.
Is there any option I've failed to consider?

You can only transfer Chase UR to transfer into your KE SkyPass account. I think Diners Club is/was a partner, but haven't heard much recently on this front.
Another option (not a transferable one) would be to use one of the KE branded cards from U.S. Bank that earns SkyPass miles from spending that are deposited directly into your FFP account. Sign-up bonuses vary, but it looks like you can earn 30K that way after meeting the spend requirements. More info on that here

Sign up for Skypass Visa (US Bank) for 30K bonus and charge 10K.
