120K for TPAC Delta 1 Suites both ways. My connection from ICN-HND is on KE who's Business is called Prestige. They have a class higher than that, but only on their longer haul aircraft. We are going to be on a 737 Max8.

FYI, if you paid the tax coded (US) there was an error and they should refund that ~$37 USD to you.
Only seems to plague certain routings to Japan involving Korean.
Only say it because my total was $160 something per ticket too but they fixed it to $120 something. You'll see this tax doesn't appear on a routing to Japan not involving Korean.

Delta's Response
Here is Delta's Response:
"Thanks for your patience. The US tax does apply on your ticket. It's an entry/exit tax for entering/departing the US. It is $18.60 each way totaling $37.20 for the round trip. Hope this clears things up. Let us know if you need any further assistance. *TJD"

To me, that's actually better than 'getting' 5c a mile for international business, because I'd never actually be willing to pay the cash price for those flights.

Flights like that were my bread and butter when I lived towards the west side of the country. Out of curiosity, did you compare the cost of a cheaper airline for that route? I would always run my numbers against the lowest cost flight for my route, and still ended up redeeming at better than 2c a mile 100% of the time.

2.0+ CPP using Delta SkyMiles does fall into no brainer territory for most... especially as I see many of my DL friends redeem them using PWM just so they can get MQMs.
