Are you on a single ticket? That does not appear to be within MCT.

KE International to International connection is 45 minutes, if I recall correctly.

Presuming it's one ticket, don't worry. Often times, if your flight from JFK is delayed, Korean Air staff willl be waiting outside the plane to take you to your next plane (for all passengers in all classes they do this). You can also just ask the flight attendants to let you sit up front for landing so you can get off the plane quickly. This is a courtesy they have been known to do in the past.

Korean Air specializes in these short connections from US to SE Asia for most people, so there will be many in your situation. And they do this literally every day. Like clockwork. You'll be fine.

It's not. I checked EF and the standard I:I online is 1:10:

STANDARD.D/D...D/I...I/D...I/I.
ONLINE .40 1.40 1.40 1.10
OFFLINE .40 1.40 1.40 1.10

There's a long list of exceptions, the only one that's :45 is:

KE-KE II .45 ALL - FLT 1401 - 1408

I think the question has to be whether it is one ticket or two.

Thanks. Wonder why they publish different information in the GDS.

It is available to be booked on 1-ticket. I assume KE supports it.
