Award Deal to Seoul — Details

We found business-class award tickets available from several U.S. airports to Seoul. Here’s how much it will cost and how you can book it:

Cost: From 60,000 miles plus $19 in taxes

This fare sale comes from a few different airlines and includes Asiana, United, Korean Air, Hawaiian Airlines, and American Airlines. To find a flight, your best bet is to search via Seats.aero. This is because you can easily search multiple airlines and multiple dates at a time to see what works for you.

Multiple programs have awards available from 75,000 miles per person.

The absolute cheapest flight is going to cost 60,000 Alaska Airlines miles and will be operated by Korean Air.

However, you’ll need to take off from Honolulu, which may not be accessible to everyone. Otherwise, you can take off from the West Coast, Texas, and even Canada for just 75,000 miles.

That’s a good price for business class, no matter how you slice it — especially since finding saver-level awards to South Korea is so uncommon.

How To Book

There are 2 main ways to book these flights. The first is through Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, which has fewer dates but will give you award flights from Honolulu and Dallas. These are operated by Hawaiian Airlines, Korean Air, or American Airlines.

Earning Alaska Airlines miles used to be tough, but now you can convert both American Express Membership Rewards and Bilt Rewards to Alaska at a 1:1 ratio (Amex transfers need to go through Hawaiian Airlines first).

You also can choose to book with Aeroplan points, which will cost you 75,000 points if you’re taking off from the West Coast. These flights are operated by either Asiana or United Airlines.

Aeroplan points are incredibly easy to earn, including transfers from Amex points, Bilt Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Capital One miles at a 1:1 ratio.

Hot Tip:

You can pay just 30,000 miles to fly in economy. While it’s not glamorous, you’ll still get to Seoul for a good price using your miles.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a trip to Asia for 2025, this could be a great redemption for any miles you may have. Finding these flights is uncommon, so if you’re looking to book, do it now!
