How much  would it be for KE TLV-ICN-USA? In Y or J. Can't seem to find out from their site...or would this have to be booked as two awards?
J would be 140,000 Miles

If youre booking J try booking it with Delta if you have any dL points. Good value to burn them

Unless I'm doing something wrong, AS is pricing nyc-icn-tlv one way in J, at 140k.

That's correct, because it can only be booked as a RT so the price for OW is the same as RT.

Thank you for clarifying. If I'm booking nyc-icn-tlv then the way back has to be tlv-icn-nyc, or can I stopover somewhere else, on the same Rt award ?

Has to be TLV-ICN-NYC because you can't mix partners on an AS award (but you can stop in ICN for as long as you want).

KE only really has stopovers in ICN... That's their only hub.

I'm just getting familiar with this kind of booking, but I want to book 2 seats from CVG to Honolulu.  Any idea when it is actually possible to find first class fairs through Korean for 40k as Dan talked about quite some time ago?  Or is it possible?  Is there a new minimum?

I believe it is using their miles to fly DL.

I'm looking for more of a how-to.  I'm not sure what I am looking for, and where.  Are there directions here?

Okay so I finally found dates on DL metal to Hawaii for 25k KE a ticket.
There's currently no business awards available. Any suggestions how to get 2 business seats- Wait it out or try to get upgrades through Delta. Ticket class is "N", can I upgrade using miles?

Thanks!

Business it tough to find on DL metal, especially on the lie flat routes. Currently, JFK-HNL is wide open in coach while it is in service (dec/jan holiday season). I'd snag them while they're available, as 25k is a great deal RT to hawaii. And keep in mind - you can get a free stopover.
