What are the program changes regarding mileage from other Skyteam members towards status?
Flights without a KE flight number do not count at all, even if the carrier is a Skyteam member.

The previous rules were a little complicated. For Morning Calm, only KE metal flights with a KE flight number counted (more restrictive than new rules). For Morning Calm Premium and Million Miler, all Skyteam flights counted (less restrictive than new rules).

Interesting.. does it mean that if I book in AA.com from ICN-DFW I can still get the miles, or does it have to be on KE website directly?? |
Until the beginning of the new program, miles from other Skyteam members of course count towards status, although a certain number of miles have to come from KE flights. If this is no longer possible in the future, I think KE might not comply with the Skyteam agreement and/or thinking about leaving the alliance.

I got an email saying that morning calm premium staus from life time 500,000 miles would stay except the name change to Gold Morning Calm Premium.

You would have to fly a lot more to get to 500K miles if your Skypass is not near it already.

I sorta have a feeling they'll roll out PEY class after 2024... Which would make those vouchers less lucrative. Well, hope not.

On a side note, as the accrual chart changes come in April 2021 and the status bonuses only come in February 2022 this means economy tickets that currency earn 100% mileage will earn alot less. Plus no word on earnings frol Skyteam partners leads me to believe April 2021 will act as a soft deadline when it comes to earning status (for those of us who only fly KE in economy at least). I might bite the bullet and do a few trips with the cheap Saudia fares to get it done with....

Re-evaluation
Says here that KE will re-evaluate the changes they had announced for Skypass after having received the request from the Korea Fair Trade Commission.
https://n.news.naver.com/article/025...?ntype=RANKING Most likely KE will keep the lifetime status for passengers hitting the 500k and 1m mile marks, but will push through with the new miles earning and redemption rate. (The article is in Korean) |
