Showing the 120 of 613 routes with the most open business-class dates for one program.
Prices are one-way per traveler: the program's points or miles plus taxes and carrier fees in USD, as AwardTool observed them in the observation window. Award space changes constantly. A seat we saw may be gone, and space we haven't seen may exist. Always confirm with a live search before transferring points; most transfers can't be reversed.
Routes where Korean Air was the only airline in the results
Routes where every business-class award a program showed was on Korean Air flights and its lowest award didn't mix cabins, so the price is on Korean Air. Most open dates first.

Questions about Korean Air business-class awards
Which international routes had the most business-class award dates with Korean Air?
Singapore (SIN) to Amsterdam (AMS) (358 dates, Flying Blue); Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) to Toronto Pearson (YYZ) (353 dates, Etihad Guest); Seoul Incheon (ICN) to São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU) (353 dates, Flying Blue); Frankfurt (FRA) to Tokyo Narita (NRT) (352 dates, Etihad Guest); Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) (348 dates, Etihad Guest). Counts are departure dates with an open business-class award for one program whose results included Korean Air, in the last 30 days; not every date was on Korean Air.
What's the lowest international business-class award on Korean Air alone that AwardTool has seen?
14,500 points + $17.30 on Seoul Incheon (ICN) to Shenyang (SHE) with Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, which showed business-class award space on that route on 159 departure dates in the last 30 days, every award on Korean Air flights. Other programs' lowest: 15,000 points + $37.90 on Seoul Incheon (ICN) to Qingdao (TAO) (Atmos); 15,000 miles + $17.90 on Seoul Incheon (ICN) to Kumamoto (KMJ) (Flying Blue). Prices from a program with business-class space on only one date are left out of this answer, and so are routes within one country, which the tables above list.
Which programs showed Korean Air on business-class awards?
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club (238 routes), Air France/KLM Flying Blue (229 routes), Alaska Atmos Rewards (213 routes), Delta SkyMiles (153 routes), GOL Smiles (79 routes) and Etihad Guest (38 routes), in the last 30 days. A program counts when its business-class results for a route included a Korean Air flight.
When did Korean Air appear on the most business-class awards?
Departures in Mar 2027: 547 routes had open business-class dates in results that included Korean Air. The lowest month price on Korean Air alone on an international route was 14,500 points in every month from Oct 2026 to Sep 2027 (Oct 2026: ICN–FUK, Virgin Atlantic). A record of what AwardTool observed, not a forecast.
Which credit card points can book Korean Air business-class awards?
Amex points transfer to Virgin Atlantic, Flying Blue and SkyMiles; Bilt points transfer to Virgin Atlantic, Flying Blue, Atmos and Etihad Guest; Capital One miles transfer to Virgin Atlantic, Flying Blue and Etihad Guest; Chase points transfer to Virgin Atlantic and Flying Blue; Citi points transfer to Virgin Atlantic, Flying Blue and Etihad Guest; Wells Fargo points transfer to Virgin Atlantic and Flying Blue. Those are the programs that showed Korean Air in business class; ratios and times are in the table above. Check current bonuses and search live before you transfer, since most transfers can't be reversed.
