Does anybody know if award seats open up on KE as the departure date gets closer?
You might find some US-ICN seats later if you really wanted to switch to KE. I guess it depends on what biz configuration would be on the KE flight but I'd probably just stick with CZ. The new KE biz might be worth switching for but on CZ their biz is their old first class and they turned the old biz into premium econ. Now if you were in coach then that would be a whole different story.
