Why this redemption is worth chasing

At 9.6¢ per point, this redemption is in the top tier of value across the entire points world. 9.6¢ means each point is worth roughly 10 times what you'd get redeeming for cash back. The cash ticket runs around $6,000, but the points cost is just 62,500, about one credit-card sign-up bonus on a premium travel card.

How to book this redemption

Confirm award space before you transfer. Transfers are usually irreversible, and award costs here are published-pricing estimates.

  1. 1
    Confirm award space first. Korean Air award seats can disappear in minutes. Search for the specific dates you want directly on the Korean Air SKYPASS website (or use our sweet-spot library to compare programs side-by-side first).
  2. 2
    Earn or transfer the points. If you don't already have 62,500 Korean Air SKYPASS points, transfer from a flexible bank-points card. Transfers usually complete within minutes.
  3. 3
    Book immediately after the transfer lands. Award seats can vanish between your transfer and your booking. Have the search results open when you transfer.
  4. 4
    Pay any fuel surcharges or taxes. Most awards carry $50-$300 in cash fees on top of the miles. Check the estimate before you transfer, it should still be a fraction of the cash ticket.
