Yes, I expect that next week we'll see some improvements, and a few more the week after. For instance, the KE.X and KE.O stuff should be replaced by Economy and Business in the next update, and hopefully the inventory will be found more reliably.

Given the way it used to be I will be HAPPY to call and book. As long as I can search for the space online I will NOT complain.

Now the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired of course. I too am hopeful this will iron out over the coming weeks!

Confirmed!

I did a search from JFK-ICN by schedule for 11/6/2012. Both KE flights showed up on the list with both classes showing "not available".

Did a search by price for Business and neither show up.

Did another search by price for coach and they both show up.

Nice!

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I no longer see any evidence that Delta.com is showing any KE award availability on their website.

I use to be able to at least see a lot of flights show up on KE for redemption 1 year ago. Has something changed?

I think KE is switching reservation platforms and is causing the issue for the moment.

Yes, Dullta has yet again "enhanced" away the online flight searching/booking capability for KE. Now, thanks to this "enhancement" for your convenience you can call the "best-in-class" clueless res agents and spend hours doing what otherwise would only take minutes to do online, to search and book flights by phone.

This is already discussed in two other threads here. No need to put the same discussion in a third thread. See:

I see A (first class) award space on KVS and ExpertFlyer. However, Delta.com not showing. Is there a way to get it to show or do I have to call? I assume I need to call. Also, any idea how many miles A redemption is? Thanks!

Delta cannot book First Class awards on any airline. Only Biz and Economy.

Appreciate the quick feedback. Is there any work around like transferring my Delta points to SkyPass or something like that? That really sucks but then again Delta leads US airlines in the path towards poor service.

Nope. General rule: You cannot move miles from one airline program to another.

KE is known to block seats for Delta. Same with AF and KLM.

This is not new. Been like that for the last year to two. Not always. At times Fri/Sat/Sun will be available, at other times not. Depends when you check. Comes and goes. Also depends on the route.

Nothing to do with DL. KE makes 1 O and 2 X seats available to other airlines on Mon-Thu on some routes (other routes, like HNL-ICN, are completely blocked and never, ever available for booking outside of KE SkyPass miles). Fri-Sun are often, but not always, completely N/A, at least on many routes.

Is it still the case that DL cannot book KE F awards even when A inventory is open?

Does KE offer O to A buy-ups at the airport?
