I have an upcoming transfer in ICN on the SQ8 SIN-ICN-LAX flight. However the transfer is only 1.5hours. I really do want to get my hands on my diamond plastic rectangle thingy. Do you think its enough time to rush out thru immigration and pick up the card and go back thru immigration? Kinda risky. Taking Business if that helps :/

SQ uses satellite terminal so you would need to take the train to main terminal, clear immigration, get the card, reclear immigration & security, and take the train back to satellite terminal; all in about an hour.

I'm doing YYZ-ICN-FUK later this year, with the first leg on AC, and the second leg on OZ. 1.5 hour transfer time, flying in C. Would I be able to pull off getting the card? Is there an airside place to do this?
I've never been to ICN before, so I'd prefer to spend my time checking out the OZ lounge, but a plastic card could come in handy. Right now, I printed the online version and glued it to cardboard -- it gets a few raised eyebrows at some lounges, but they take it.

I was upgraded to diamond a couple of weeks ago. Two days ago, I received an email from Asiana which stated I'm now a diamond member. As I'm based in Germany, I sent an email to the Frankfurt office and kindly asked, whether it would be possible for them to provide me with a plastic card, since I had issues entering the lounge without a plastic card. Also, I asked for a luggage tag. Both arrived today

^I'm in Germany right now and will be here for another week. I'm hoping that because I'm pretty close to Frankfurt (1.5 hour drive) I'll have a chance to get it. If not, I'll just have my family here send it to me back to the US
. Although, maybe it's worth it to ask if they ship them to the US. I got my gold card through the Korean office.

Ok so I finally found the email, after having first emailed an outdated one. It's [email protected] . They ship only to Germany though, not anywhere else.

Can confirm I received both a card and luggage tag from the German office. Came very quickly, in just 2 days. They had told me it would be 2 weeks. Someone must have thought there was money in the envelope though, because it came partially ripped on the top.

Is it still possible to pick up OZ Diamond cards at ICN Asiana Club counter?
Can you remind me where the counter is located? I seem to remember something close to the bank of check in counters but the counter runs parallel to the walking concourse?
Thanks!
