Thank you! I really appreciate the counsel and info. I did check and it is not possible to book ICN-XXX via DL.com, would have to use KE.com.

I am now considering booking my spouse MSP-ICN-DPS via an award ticket and pay cash for myself (both in J). I recall DL may be able to "link" these two reservations to show we are traveling together, is that correct? Any other advice or cautions if we proceed in this way? Thank you all so much, I really appreciate any insights or thoughts.
