As of April 1, 2021
based on the ticketing date
The new program will be introduced and implemented as of April 1, 2020.
However, after a 12-month grace period, the changes in mileage redemption
will be enforced as of April 1, 2021.
Tickteting = date of the ticket being made. The Korean says 발권일 기준
2021년 4월 1일 부
※ 2020년 4월 1일 부 변경된 제도가 도입 및 시행되나,
그로부터 12개월의 유예기간을 운영한 후
2021년 4월 1일부터 변경된 제도가 실제 적용됩니다.
which basically says the same about grace period and "the changes take effect on 2021/4/1" so any award ticket you buy before that = old miles. Starting 2021/4/1 and anytime after - new rules
Edit*** - make sure the ticket is issued before 2021/4/1. 발r권 means ticketing in Korean - and if there's a delay from purchase to issue......Yes, 99% of the time the ticket is purchased and issued almost instantly.
