KE avail on Delta
I see that on the Korean air website there is generous biz seats available for the route I would like to take - yet delta shows nothing.

I also see that KE notes that empty seats will be given to award seat requests.

Anyone know how I can either get access to KE inventory on DL OR standby for KE awards?

Bonus if you have a good way to transfer Amex miles to KE.

KE releases 1 seat per flight to DL and when it's gone it's gone. The two airlines do not play well together.

Doesn't exist. Chase or SPG.

That is pathetic - why even bother calling it a partnership.

I know. I went through all the possibilities when trying to find a way to book ICN-BKK when KE showed a wide open cabin and DL showed nothing.

Ultimately I changed dates and was able to score the single DL seat on ICN-HKT.

Is KE availability with Alitalia better than 1 seat per flight?

Alitalia is a transfer partner of Amex MR and you should be able to use their miles to book KE award.

Of course, that is cause KE doesn't have easy to obtain miles. So their availability is great.
