Kumho Asiana is a Korean company incorporated under Korean law, so any bankruptcy proceedings would mainly be filed in Korea. I'm sure they also have a US corporate entity that would have to file in...

Correct, unless you have an Asiana credit card, in which case 30k flown miles plus 10k credit card spend also qualify. If you're based in Croatia, that's probably not an option but just for the sake...

I don't have extensive experience with this, but I recently booked an award fare on NH through OZ and the surcharge wasn't too bad (comparable to OZ' own surcharge)
