Flying Delta to Incheon Changing to KE Question
We are flying into Incheon from Atlanta changing to Korean Airlines for Bangkok with a 2 hour layover in Incheon.
Does anyone know if both the arriving Delta flight and the departing Korean air lines flight leave from terminal two?
Also is there any other security that we have to go through in Incheon before boarding our next flight which is the Korean air flight.

Delta and Korean Air use Terminal 2. It's brand new, only for those two airlines and Air France/KLM so it's supposedly a very nice experience. You will have to clear transit security.

This is almost the identical question I was coming to the KE forum to ask. We are flying on DL to ICN from Seattle, connecting to a KE flight to Bangkok. We have a 2 hour connection as well. I'm assuming this is enough time to visit the transfer desk to checkin for the KE flight and receive a boarding pass/seat assignment, as well as pass through transit security? This will be my first time passing through ICN. I'm used to NRT so hoping this will be just as efficient.
According to KE it is not possible for me to receive an advance seat assignment since the flight was booked through DL and is a DL codeshare. Anyone know of anything different?

How about a 45 minute connection? Is that possible in the new terminal 2?

Regarding seat assignment, KE is telling me it is not allowed in advance due to it being a DL codeshare issued on DL ticket stock.

If you are flying Delta, they might give you a boarding pass for ICN-BKK but you will definitely have to change it for Korean Air Card stock at the Korean Air transit desk or the gate. Takes seconds.
fi you are flying KE from ATL, they should give you both boarding passes to ICN and to BKK on their card stock.

KAL lounge (West end - stays open 24/7...I think)
Entrance
*Update*
Both Delta and KE share Terminal 2. It's very simple and quick when you arrive until ICN. You have to go through a security checkpoint and should only take you all of 30 mins Max if your sky priority with Delta. Also, the better KAL lounge is across from gate 249. See attached pictures. Safe travels!

That must’ve changed. Every flight I’ve had from atl to ICN over the past six years they’ve reiterated many times (even with big signs) that you needed KE card stock tickets, that you couldn’t use anything printed by DL.
