You’ll be flying Asiana Airlines with a lie-flat seat, arriving in Korea rested and ready to explore. Here’s how to book it for yourself.

Award Deal to Seoul — Details

We’re seeing wide award availability for Asiana Airlines business class between the West Coast and Seoul (ICN), with seats priced at 75,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points each way on dates from January through May 2026.

Class: Business
Program: Air Canada Aeroplan
Route: Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA) to Seoul, South Korea (ICN)
Cost: 75,000 points plus $57 in taxes (without account for the transfer bonus)
Travel dates: January to May 2026
Award seats: Up to 8 passengers per route in business

The best availability is for January and April, but there are also dates available in February, March, and May. You’ll book flights through Aeroplan, paying 75,000 points per person (before factoring in the transfer bonus).

You can use a tool like Seats.aero to get an overview of multiple dates and routes at once.

Paying 75,000 points per person on this route is a good price for business class, no matter how you slice it — especially since finding saver-level awards to South Korea is uncommon. Even better, taxes and fees are minimal on these flights at CAD$78.80 (roughly $57).

How To Book

You’ll want to book these award flights via Aeroplan. Using Aeroplan points, you can book these flights for 75,000 points plus CAD$78.80 per person, which is about $57:

Luckily, earning Aeroplan points is very easy. You can spend on Air Canada’s Aeroplan credit card or transfer to Aeroplan from Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy.

Factoring in the Transfer Bonus

There’s a transfer bonus from Chase to Aeroplan that ends today, January 5. The bonus amount depends on how many points you transfer at once, but you can get a bonus of up to 35%.

To get the maximum bonus, you need to send at least 175,000 points in a single transaction. That would give you 236,250 points — enough for 3 tickets on this flight. Put another way, a 35% transfer bonus turns 56,000 points into the 75,000 you need for this reservation.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a trip to Asia for the first half of 2026, this award alert could be one of the best ways to use your points —- especially if you’re hoping to travel in comfort.

If you’ve been saving your points for a special trip or a family getaway, this is the kind of opportunity that’s worth jumping on. Be sure to act fast and secure your seats before availability disappears — and before the Chase-to-Aeroplan transfer bonus ends today.
