Award Deal to Seoul — Details

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

While flights from California and Washington to South Korea are common in award awards, flying from NYC to Seoul for 75,000 points in business class is anything but ordinary these days.

  • Class: Business
  • Program: Air Canada Aeroplan
  • Route: New York City (JFK), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA) to Seoul, South Korea (ICN)
  • Cost: 75,000 points plus $58 in taxes
  • Travel dates: February to October 2026
  • Award seats: Up to 8 passengers per route in business

The best availability is for June and July, but there are also dates available throughout other months of this year. You’ll book flights through Aeroplan, paying 75,000 points per person.

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

After finding seats through a tool like Seats.aero, book these award flights via Aeroplan. Using Aeroplan points, you can book these flights for 75,000 points plus CAD$79 per person, which is about $58:

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.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a trip to Asia in 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 — especially if you’re flying from New York City, where award alerts to Asia don’t pop up often.
