Any idea what the meaning of the "excluded dates" is? There are a number of dates for Korea, US/Canada and other destinations listed here. Does this mean that you don't earn miles on these dates, or does it mean something different?

Also, when booking on http://www.koreanair.com/, the fares are listed as "saver", "value", "quality", etc... with no indication of the corresponding fare code. Any ideas how these are related?

Thanks,
JimJamJet.

Excluded dates are dates when KE award tickets are not available ('blackout'). Re-fares, there are more fare codes than 'labelled' categories so you cannot be sure, especially in economy so if you want to book something you'd better call them first and check the fare code.
