Award Deal to Seoul — Details

Thanks to a tip from Roame.Travel, we’re seeing lots of award availability on the new Alaska Airlines route from Seattle (SEA) to Seoul, South Korea (ICN). This flight actually uses the Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes with 1-2-1 business class, including lie-flat seats.

On some dates, there are as many as 9 seats available in business class! Here’s how much it will cost and how you can book it:

• Class: Business
• Program: Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards
• Route: Seattle (SEA) to Seoul, South Korea (ICN)
• Cost: 75,000 points plus $5.60 in taxes
• Travel dates: September 2025 to January 2026
• Award seats: Up to 9 passengers per route in business

The best availability is from now through November, though there are still some available dates in December and January. You’ll book flights through Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards, paying 75,000 points per person.

To find a flight, you can search multiple dates at once with Roame.Travel.

Alaska Airlines’ website also has a useful calendar feature, letting you see a month’s worth of availability at once — even highlighting the cheapest fares.

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 $5.60.

How To Book

You’ll want to book these award flights via Alaska Airlines’ Atmos Rewards program.

Using Alaska points, you can book these flights for 75,000 points plus $5.60 per person:

Unfortunately, earning Alaska Airlines points isn’t as easy as some other programs. You can spend on Alaska Airlines’ credit cards or transfer to Alaska from Bilt Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, and Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles — until that program is folded into Atmos Rewards on October 1, 2025, at which point all miles will automatically move into your Atmos Rewards account at a 1:1 ratio.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a trip to Asia between now and January 2026, this award alert could be one of the best ways to use your points —- especially if you’re hoping to travel in comfort. What makes this deal stand out is the incredibly rare chance to book up to 9 business class seats on the same flight from Seattle to Seoul.

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.
