Acc to FT, the KE flight will now have lie flat beds in J.
What's the cheapest way to fly J to ICN? On the way to the US? (I remember that Dan did this a few years ago.)
It always had flat seats in J, you can see the seat type on their website.

They make it sound like a special fine you have to pay if you miss your flight... it's just a higher change fee, many airlines have that.

According to SeatGuru, the 777-200 they're flying now is angled flat in J.

Does it price out on their website? And do they allow stopovers?

Exactly, that's my issue. If only the bloggers had posted about this, I'd have been able to post about it here.
Especially if Sir Pickles had posted it. He's the BEST!
Sigh....

Maybe they're showing what the new aircraft setup will be? That is what the page says.

I've been on the plane and tell you for a fact it's lie flat.

The page I posted also lists the departure date as 10/19.

By far and away the best seat that flies into TLV.

That sells into TLV. LX F also flies into TLV.

But without LX F service KE still wins easy.
Plus according to you LX often downguages that route.

According to the seat map that Sabre pulls up
Confirming AMS-TLV business class is regular economy plus with the middle seat empty.

Wasn't sure where to put this, and it may have been obvious, but I searched AMM-SYD on DL to see if it would pull up the direct AMM flight on Virgin Australia. Instead, it routed me through CDG and LAX on the way, which is quite a distance out of the way.
This would also allow for a stopover in the US.
Too bad about the >$700 YQ + 140k miles (Y class).

Edit: It appears that it may be piecing together 2 different awards, but I can't tell. Any insights?
