Trouble booking Korean Air Ticket
« on: May 29, 2017, 01:27:23 PM »
i'm trying to book a trip involving the following return segment on delta economy:

1/31/18
Ft 836 HNL-ATL
Ft 1295 ATL-PIT

Delta is showing availability at 22,500 miles for 5 passengers, but when i go to korean air to book it, the flight is not showing up as an option. i've spoken on the phone with a korean air agent, and they were also not able to see that option.  any advice on how to get this booked? i thought if delta showed saver level availability like this, korean would be able to book it?  for what it's worth, flying blue was also not showing this as an option. i tried both korean and flying blue with one passenger, and still no luck.

No need for the new thread.

Korean can't book DL as OW, only RT. To book as a OW, use AF @ 15k each..

Not sure why it's not showing on AF though.

i'm aware of that.

i'm trying to book a roundtrip flight.

all the other segments are fine, but this last segment is not working for some reason.

if you want to test it out - search on delta for atl-hnl roundtrip on 1/23-1/31. there's saver level availability for 5 people in each direction in economy. but korean won't show those flights for some reason.

Why are you going to HNL? It is a complete waste of time.

i'm not - but for booking the flight back i'll be flying separately on an intra-island flight to hnl, and then looking to go from hnl-atl-pit or hnl-msp-pit. delta showing availability, but korean and AF are not able to book it
