The guide below teaches you how to book an award space. It is a sample guide based on one trip. To create your own customized guide, start a new trip here.
Korean Airlines has one of the more interesting award programs out there. Their rewards currency is called Skypass miles, which can be used for award travel on Skyteam partners. However, we will focus on redeeming Skypass miles for award travel on Korean Airways since they are cheaper.
Compared to other airlines, Korean Airlines releases plenty of award space, meaning that you usually don't have to worry about finding award space if you're traveling with your family, making it very easy to book award space. Korean Airways allows you to have stopovers in Seoul, even for one way awards.

However, Korean Air does have some drawbacks. The first is that it only flies from a limited amount of cities in the continental US. It flies from the following cities:
Another drawback is that award travel can cost significantly more miles during peak season, which is centered around Korean holidays and peak travel dates. It is then important to book your award travel outside those dates. For the most up-to-date peak season award list, click here.
The last drawback is that you can only redeem flights for you or for your immediate family members. In order to redeem award space for them, you'll have to submit documents to prove your relationship with them.
First Class Services At Airport
Input the departure and arrival airports, desired dates, cabin class, and whether you want to fly one-way or round trip. Click find flights.
You will have to search for an award flight from the US to Seoul, and then from Seoul to your final destination.
Call Korean Air at 800-438-5000 to put your award on hold. Korean Air allows you to hold your award space for up to thirty days so you can have time to finalize your plans before claiming them.
Online Check In
Airlines typically open the last minute award spaces seven days before the actual flight, so be vigilant in checking during that time.
Award space for two is readily available. However, if your party has more members, it's still best to search for award space individually. Let's say you're planning a vacation for four, but can't find award space. First, try splitting your award search down to two seats and then individually. If you still can't find award space, there might be space available but on different cabin classes or different flights.
Airplanes frequently release award seats around 330 days before a flight departs. Most would not plan this far ahead, but this is the best option to get guaranteed award space.

Since award space fluctuates constantly, I highly suggest that you put your award on hold. You can do this by calling Korean Air directly.
Based on the previous steps, we've already put your award space on hold. But before you can book the award, you'll first have to fill out a Skypass Family Award Application form. You can download a copy of it here.
Manage Booking Korean Air Archives
You'll have to put your personal information here, as well as a copy of your passport. If you are booking for family members as well, you'll also need to submit documents that serve as proof of your relationship with them.
Once these requirements have been emailed, you'll need to contact Korean Airlines again at 800-438-5000 and confirm with them that they have received the documents. Once they do, they'll quote you a miles price and a reasonable fuel surcharge of no more than $200. If it is correct, you can then make the booking and give them your information and payment details.
The good news is you may change or cancel your award ticket for free. However, keep in mind that you can only make changes within the same season and cabin class.
