I see it as 21898 BIS miles via LAX outbound
A map from Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper
which USA credit card to combine with to get Flying Blue Platinum if one were trying to use miles for AF F? Thanks much

KE F is totally worth trying especially since you are getting a good price, but honestly for an Asian carrier - JAL NH CX are significantly better. Caveat on the ground - KE has the newish ICN terminal so it's nice that everything is shiny with a more modern terminal layout.

Lucky enough to have flown JAL, NH, and CX F, so can't wait to finally get on KE! Plus, I love ICN and haven't been to the new terminal, only the old one on Asiana and AA multiple times back in the day.

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. Codeshare flights marketed by and operated by another carrier are not eligible to earn miles. Korean Air award flights booked into the fare classes above are not eligible to earn miles or elite qualifying miles or segments.Eligible flight numbers
0001–19992000–2999
6000–6999
8000–8999
To ensure flight credit, the two-letter airline code (KE) must precede the flight number (for example, KE XXXX) on your ticket receipt or boarding pass.
The answer will be no since it's DLXXXX (marketed) / operated by KE.

FlyingBlue does not credit nicely domestic flights as JFK-LAX would only give you 6 XPs the max for domestic Business...

Amex saying it is unavailable in J evidently. They can see on their end that it is supposed to be J. My option is to try and cancel and rebook... which they say will require me to pay the new fare, which is 10x price. Anyone ever dealt with anything like this? Am I SOL?
I bought my ticket super early and booked seats as soon as I could.

😴 you need to search through this thread + use twitter if you're that daft to think my post was a meme
i pointed out their 2016-2018 join date = dormant accounts, contribute nothing to FT, joined before me yet they dont know the first rule of mistake fares. Incoming changes/pulls. Hope y'all are ready as the proof is in this thread.🤠

Thanks OP for posting this fare, which now seems to be dead. Excited to be flying KE again, although from my experience it's not as great as CX or JL/NH F (the food is basically the same as J, cabin too warm, lights kept too bright, seat is not very private) on 777 and A380. On the 748, though, KE F is awesome and fingers crossed at least one of sectors gets a 748.

For those of you routing ICN-TPE-DPS ON THE inter-asian sections...... We had a trip booked with layover in TPE also but it was 12 hours and Taiwan only allows transfers in TPE for 8 hours or less now due to Covid. It is on China Air Website or easy google. We cancelled that booking and made one direct from ICN-DPS. I highly recommend you do the same!
