Korean Air’s Hot Picks Promo: Save 10K Miles

Korean Air’s SKYPASS loyalty program features a promotion known as “Hot Picks,” providing SKYPASS members with discounted award tickets to and from its hub in Seoul, South Korea. Discounts are only available to select destinations, though.

Korean Air’s Hot Picks are not limited to a single month, unlike the monthly promotions offered by Air France-KLM Flying Blue Promo Rewards and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer’s Spontaneous Escapes. These offers regularly last for several months, and the current Hot Picks promotion allows members to book and travel by October 25, 2025, providing an opportunity to save on their award tickets for the next 6 months.

There are numerous eligible routes to and from South Korea, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and Europe. You can explore the complete list of eligible Hot Picks routes here.

For example, U.S.-based travelers can use this promotion to enjoy a 5,000-mileage discount on one-way tickets or a 10,000-mileage discount on round-trip tickets from Las Vegas (LAS) to Seoul (ICN).

If you are traveling between Japan and South Korea, for instance, you will find over a dozen routes offering a 2,500-mile discount on one-way awards and a 5,000-mile discount on round-trip bookings.

Routes eligible for discounts and departure periods may vary, given that this promotion is refreshed regularly.

Hot Tip:

Although this offer is appealing, earning Korean Air SKYPASS miles can be challenging. Nonetheless, the Korean carrier does offer several co-branded credit cards for U.S. travelers, so if you want to rack up SKYPASS miles, you can do so by applying for cards like the SKYPASS Select Visa Signature® Card.

Final Thoughts

The eligible routes to and from Seoul for this Hot Picks promotion by Korean Air encompass many popular cities, including Tokyo, Bangkok, Dubai, Madrid, and dozens of others. Regrettably, only 1 U.S. city, Las Vegas, provides discounted mileage rates this time around.

However, if you’re traveling within Asia and looking to book flights to or from Seoul, you might want to consider pricing out award seats for travel before October 25, 2025. You might save a nice chunk of miles!
