Advice on LHR to ITM (Osaka)
Hi FT,
I'm trying to get from London to Osaka on SkyTeam.
Best option I'm seeing is a Korea Air flight: LHR to Seoul, Seoul to Osaka.
Any experience on that flight? What kind of config, service, etc?
There's a less convenient KLM option -- LHR to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Osaka. Any reason to take the longer layover to fly KLM instead of Korean Air?
My husband + I are both Delta Platinum and we want to be sure that we're getting max miles out of the trip. It's our first trip to Japan.
Thanks very much!

If you're traveling after 1 March 2013, you'll earn more MQMs on KLM (http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...-airlines.html) than on Korean (http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...orean-air.html)

I thought ITM doesn't accept any international flight? 
Unless you meant KIX, I think it's impossible to do ITM without non-ST carrier.
Btw, Kansai is really a fun area. People are outgoing and there are a lot places to visit. I personally like it a lot, hope you'll also enjoy it!
