Thanks


I had a similar experience with in January.
I wanted to use my Continental onepass miles (Over 200K) for Korean Air between Inchon & JFK.
To make a long story short, I am disappointed with Skyteam service.


When I called Continental onepass reservation desk,
they confirmed that no reward seats were available with Korean Air KE086.
When I called Korean Air reservation desk,
they confirmed that plenty of rewards seats are available for Korean Air
Skypass members.
Representative at Korea Air told me that they prioritize Korean Air Skypss rewards and allocate leftovers to Skyteam partners.
I finally booked Korean Air ticket with using my Korean Air Skypass miles.


This means I may not use Continnetal over 200K miles with Korean Air Skyteam partner. As long as each Skyteam members prioritize their own
memebrs... This sucks for me... How can I use over 200K Continental miles??
