AS gives miles for KE flights that are both marketed and operated by KE. In addition to excluding the DL operated flights, this would also exclude any GA operated flights (i.e. from DPS - ICN). Care needs to be taken with this fare if the goal is to maximize AS miles.

There may be other fares(and dates) that allow this mixed class, you'll have to trial and error
From what I can tell, Sunday-Thursday departures seem to be able to be refunded/changed for $200, according to the OTA. Other departures seem to be non-refundable. This is according to the OTA and not the official fare rules, though.

This would have been really handy a few weeks ago!

Flying to DPS from NYC at the end of the month and burned a load of miles for OS Business, CX First and paid cash GA J to/from HKG!

and flight number must be in AS's list of eligible KE flight numbers. For KE, the list is pretty good and extensive, don't see any issues with dps-icn and icn-alt flight numbers if operated by ke

https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...ers/korean-air

Qualify for mileage accrual

Flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below, and your flight must be marketed and operated by Korean Air.
Eligible flight numbers
0001–1999
2000–2999
6000–6999
8000–8999

I just booked by calling AMEX Platinum travel. I had to give the exact flight numbers for it to price out correctly and included a one day stop over in Korea.

I had to call AMEX Platinum travel and tell them that I wanted a stopover and I gave them the flight number that I wanted to take the following day.

I'm wondering what this will mean in terms of class paid/flown. I looked at my Hotwire receipt and saw that my fare basis is E but I'm in C. I'm trying to fulfill MQDs for DL DM, and I'm just worried that it'll credit at E instead of C (20% vs. 40%) when it comes to MQDs...
