Korean Airlines

Ok. That may be why it wasn't showing up. Either way, was planning on taking the free stopover to stay in ICN for a day or two so I'll call it in. Thanks! Any idea what the taxes/YQ is on that route?

You're welcome! The taxes and fees on that route are $234.62.

Want to fly JFK-ICN-CNX and I looked on Kayak.com and I see that the route exists, but when I search for award travel on KE's website, nothing comes up. Do I need to call this booking in so that they can piece it together manually?

Shows up online as I just searched it. Depends on the class but first is going to be ~$235 extra p/p.

Thanks. Will it be $235 for a lap child in addition to the 10% of mileage, or just 10% of mileage?

Surprised you didn't respond to me with a "GIYF."

-0.5 All classes are the same. (And anyway it's a repost from 2 and 4 posts up )

Somehow missed that.

No worries.

Latter.

[CS91]

Awesome, thanks for confirming!

Latter.

What about on non Korean metal? like DL or Air France? whats a lap child cost on those airlines when booked with KE?

[Moishebatchy]

Although IMHO Korean requirements don't classify as "easily doable" due to the paperwork required.

IINM the documentation needed is:
A) Marriage certificate to prove you're married.
B) Birth certificate to prove its your kid.
C) Passports or drivers license for everybody to confirm names and date of birth.
D) Create individual accounts for each passenger.
E) Fill out a form with the account info for everybody (and some other basic information) requesting to link the accounts for redemption (and share miles if necessary).

The good thing is, you can put KE awards on hold while dealing with all that stuff.

all it is is tedious...

Meh. Overrated. Doesn't take as long as you think... and once it's done, you're set for life - it's not like you need to do the process from scratch every time you book a flight.

Now, contrast that with getting caught up in a REALLY nasty IRROPS situation, and suddenly a little paperwork in advance doesn't seem so tedious, after all...

Couldn't agree more. 5 minutes to gather all documents and then another few to send it all in. All made much easier when done while no flights await and no pressure is on.

Just did this albeit JFK-ICN-HKG and it was more like $60 p/p

HKG has cheaper taxes (/ less fees) then lots of other places in Asia.

You have KE YR Surcharge of $200 to CNX vs KE YR Surcharge of $80 to HKG.

Gotcha. But it was like 61-62 not 80

Yup. And they were actually pretty quick to approve everything. Submitted Saturday night and it was all done by yesterday afternoon.

Do they only let you hold a res if you're sorting out the family plan stuff, or will they let you hold an award in general? What's the max hold time?
