Award Deal to Seoul — Details

We’re seeing wide award availability for Korean Air business class between Atlanta (ATL) and Seoul (ICN), as tipped to us by Roame, with seats priced at 85,000 Alaska Atmos Rewards points each way on dates from July through September 2026.

• Class: Business
• Program: Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards
• Route: Atlanta (ATL) to Seoul, South Korea (ICN)
• Cost: 85,000 points plus $18.10 in taxes
• Travel dates: July to September 2026
• Award seats: Up to 2 passengers per route in business

The best availability is for August and September, but there are also some scattered dates available in July. You’ll book flights through Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards, paying 85,000 points per person — using its helpful calendar feature, which lets you see a month’s worth of availability at once.

You can use a tool like Roame to get an overview of multiple dates at once — including availability to Seoul from other departure points like Dallas, Chicago, or Las Vegas with other carriers.

Paying 85,000 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.

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 85,000 points plus $18.10 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 and Marriott Bonvoy.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a trip to Asia for next summer between July and September 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.
