[It's baaaack!] Korean Air suddenly missing as a Chase UR transfer partner

[AJK]

Awesome news, See below on reply from Chase regarding Korean air

Dear *********,

Thank you for contacting Chase about transferring points
to Korean Air.

Please note, for contractual reasons, Korean Air was
removed as a points transfer partner in Ultimate Rewards.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

However, Chase has renegotiated the contract for Korean
Air and it will return as a points transfer partner on
January 25, 2015.

If you have any further questions, please reply using the
Secure Message Center.

Thank you,

im looking to go from jfk to Hawaii.
how do I use the Korean miles? I can book it online or only over the phone?
how do I see availability? how many miles is it?

[AharonInIsrael]

In light of the happiness, may I ask: what are the sweet spots in Korean redemptions over and above the other transfer partners?

1) I don't know. I imagine only over the phone.
2) KE can book UA flights, so you just need to find Saver availability on UA.com (but you should make sure to be logged out of your UA account if you have a UA CC as partners can only book regular Saver seats but not special Saver seats that get released to UA CC holders).
3) I don't know about Y, but J is 60K RT. Keep in mind that from JFK, there is no direct flight.

For one, NYC-Hawaii in J is 60K RT on UA as opposed to 80K with UA miles or 70K with LH miles.

Don't know more, but read the DDMS post about 30 things you can do with KE, and I'm sure you'll see a few more things.

Nope. KE cannot book UA.

Ah!! Is that SQ I'm thinking of? Someone who clearly hasn't flown any of the Asian airlines is confusing them...

[gavhaller]

Trying to discern between the millions of Delta type awards available. In order to book on DL metal using KE, which award or "name" is the correct one.

Low. Always low.
