Korean Air SkyPass Miles Can Book Partner Awards Online; prior to late December 2016 only Korean Air flight awards could be booked online. While SkyTeam is my least favorite alliance, and I personally would rather redeem Korean Air SkyPass miles for Korean Air (also bookable online) or Emirates flights (which cannot be booked online), it's good to be able to book SkyTeam partners online.
How to Search Korean Air SkyPass Partner Award Availability Online
1. Go to the Korean Air SkyPass Award Search page and log into your SkyPass account.
2. Be sure to select SkyPass for your award search, then enter in the origin, destination, dates and class of service. Most SkyPass partners do not offer first class (more on this below).
3. After the search runs, select your preferred flights.
4. Scroll down the page and click the “Calculate” button to see the SkyPass miles and taxes/fees required.
Example 1: Air France Business Class New York JFK to Paris CDG for 80K Miles
Example 2: Aeroflot Business Class LAX to Moscow SVO for 80K Miles
Example 3: Aeroflot Business Class New York JFK to Moscow SVO, Return Delta Business Class Milan MXP to New York JFK for 80K Miles
Here's an example of an open jaw, which is allowed and in this case actually reduced the taxes.
