Fare classes, baggage allowance and seat selection
Hi, we are starting to plan for a Taiwan-South Korea trip for next May. We have two flights TPE-PUS and PUS-GMP that we are thinking of booking on Korean Air and had a couple of questions:
For TPE-PUS, they are offering discounted fares in the U bucket. They are clear you get 70% mileage but do you still get one free bag? And can you select your seat? Or do you have to go to a higher fare category to do that?
For PUS-GMP, I see that for dummy bookings in Dec, they are offering crazy cheap Hot fares (N class) as low as 40,500 KRW, which is amazing. They note no mileage accrual but do we still get a free bag each of 20 kgs? And how about seat selection? Are there typically lots of seats at the time of OLCI?
Finally, when would you suggest we book these flights, ie., how far out? I was thinking of booking our international flights in January or February but should we wait to book these other flights?
Thanks!
