Can I use Korean Air's mileage for Delta domestic flights?

I am considering an airline credit card. I currently live in the U.S. and frequently fly domestic, say once a month. I also annually fly to South Korea.

If I use the Korean Air's mileage program and its credit card, what are pros and cons?
Can I use the Korean Air's mileage for free Delta domestic flights? Both are SkyTeam.

Best Answer

From the SkyTeam site:

Redeem miles

As a member of a SkyTeam Member airline’s frequent flyer program you can easily redeem your Miles for an award ticket on any SkyTeam-operated flight worldwide.

The miles required will be set by Korean Airlines, along with any fees/taxes, but I think you'll only be able to book onto Delta flights with spare reward space. You should be able to get more details from the Korean Airlines SkyPass site. They provide general guidance but it looks like you'll need to actually speak to them to get the full details and availability.

Can I use Korean Air mileage for Delta?

Korean Air is a SkyTeam member, like Delta Air Lines, so your Korean Air miles can be used to book flights with any of its SkyTeam partner airlines. For example, you can book a round-trip Delta flight between the mainland U.S. and Hawaii with 25,000 Korean Air miles.

Is Skypass different from SkyMiles?

Something to consider -- Accumulated Korean Air program (Skypass) miles have an expiry date whereas Delta Skymiles do not. If you aren't a frequent flyer, you may not care about "qualification" miles. So don't get those confused with earned miles.

How can I use Korean Miles?

Redeeming miles with Korean Air is a straightforward process.

Log into your SKYPASS account at KoreanAir.com.

Click on 'Book a Flight' in the main navigation menu.

Select 'Award Booking' under the Award drop-down.
