[Expired] [Award Alert] U.S. to Seoul in Business Class for 75,000 Points

It’s a long flight to South Korea, so having a comfortable seat in business class can make the journey much more enjoyable.

If you’re looking for an incredible trip this year or early next year without breaking the bank, take a look at this deal, which can get you to Seoul in comfort and style.

Award Deal to Seoul — Details

We found business-class award tickets to South Korea with 2 carriers available in 2 award programs, creating great options for those wanting to travel to Seoul in lie-flat business class.

On some dates, there are as many as 6 seats available! Here’s how much it will cost and how you can book it:

• Class: Business
• Route: Seattle (SEA), Los Angeles (LAX), Honolulu (HNL), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), and Chicago (ORD) to Seoul, South Korea (ICN)
• Cost: From 75,000 miles plus $18 in taxes
• Travel Dates: May 2025 to March 2026
• Award Seats: Up to 6 passengers per route in business, 6 in economy

We’re seeing availability flying on Korean Air and Asiana 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 simultaneously to see what works for you.

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. You’ll pay $18.10 or $58, depending on how you book.

Note that if you’re departing from the East Coast, awards are still available on Korean for 75,000 miles on a few dates, but you won’t find flights on Asiana.

How To Book

You’ll want to book these award flights via Air Canada Aeroplan or Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan.

Using Aeroplan points, you can book flights on Asiana Airlines and pay 75,000 points plus roughly $58 per person from multiple West Coast airports.

If you happen to be flying out of Honolulu (HNL), you can secure an outstanding business-class deal for even less, paying just 55,000 points and $58. The Honolulu to Seoul route is the sole option that provides this lower award rate, which may be somewhat restrictive. However, if you find yourself in Hawaii, this could present an excellent opportunity.

Aeroplan points are incredibly easy to earn because you can transfer from Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Capital One miles to Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio.

Alternatively, if you want to redeem Alaska Airlines miles, you can pay 75,000 miles plus $18.10 per person. That price holds true from the East Coast, West Coast, and Midwest, such as this flight from Chicago (ORD):

Earning Alaska Airlines miles isn’t as simple as some other programs, but you have options. There are co-branded credit cards to help you earn miles, and you can transfer from both Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy to Alaska’s Mileage Plan program. Additionally, you can transfer miles from Hawaiian Airlines to Alaska Airlines, and Hawaiian is a transfer partner of Amex Membership Rewards, opening another option to boost your Alaska miles balance.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a trip to Asia between now and March 2026, this could be a great redemption for any miles you may have. Finding these flights is uncommon, so if you want to book, do it now!
