Thought I'd point out that Korean (Chase UR transfer partner) partners with AF and only charges 90k RT USA-Tahiti in business class.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my UR on a Korean redemption. I'd prefer to use AMEX MR to DL while hopefully snagging of the oft-used promos.

(Korean awards can be booked using DL can't they?)

What would you waste your UR on?

Yes, Korean is a Skyteam member.

Even with a 50% bonus,Korean is cheaper then DL.
And I'd waste my 150k on V Australia to downunder in biz  cos 90k UR ain't getting me there :P

<embarrassing>

Not sure why, but I mistakenly thought I can use 90K DL to redeem KE Business Award. Yeah, DL is 150K RT even at their low business award. Moving on.

Personally, I like to use AMEX MR for airline travel and UR for hotel (Hyatt) travel.

They charge it on their own metal (I paid about $175 each for TLV-ICN-MNL in F). Not sure about partners

Apparently its not too easy to book KE partner awards, or at least this one.

For some reason, when the KE reps search for availability, even if its there (can be seen on AF.com) it comes back with no availability.
So still looking for someone that booked this for more info...

Was the water rough or calm? I recently traveled to the Maldives and the only thing that disappointed me was the rough water.
