Rewards ticket to Seoul

[imbi3]

Hi. I have been trying to seek Rewards tickets to Seoul in Dec 25.
Apart from Qantas, any suggestion which airlines that would offer rewards seats in Dec? Economy is ok

Qantas is ceasing flights to Seoul in June 2025, so you'll have to book Jetstar instead

Cathay Pacific (via HKG)

I booked one for my Oct-24 trip departing from Brisbane.

 

[AIRwin]

Malaysia Airlines via KL?

They brought that forward - last one is May 3rd. (currently)

Thanks. Finding availability in Dec is impossible though

What dates are you looking for?
Doing an unsophisticated search in the Multi-City tool shows that rewards availability looks to be loaded towards the first half of the month at this stage.

QF as far as HKG was released in January so they've probably been gobbled up by now. (You can book CRs out to late Feb at the moment).

You didn’t mention where you’re flying out of, but you can probably still get SYD/MEL-CGK-HKG-ICN on some days.

Thanks. I will check on a different date. Can't go before mid month due to kids' school.

Ah damn!! I've got to do a trip to Seoul in May!! No demand for Seoul?

The route has been completely Jetstar'd.

I'm tinkering with a plan to head up with QF on that last day... (and come back another way - not doing Jetstar overnight!)

Even if this is booked as a single ticket, you cannot through check from QF to CX at CGK on this connection so you have to clear immigration and collect bags. CX seems to have some weird inhibitor on through checks at CGK.

Doesn't Australia have any business travel to Korea any more? I wouldn't have imagined that Korea would have suited the Jetstar crowd - and the Jetstar Bogans sure as hell wouldn't suit Korea! Seems like a strange decision!

I might have to do the something similar to you - or move my trip forward to get it all done by May 3. I didn't have a particular time frame to be in Korea, I just have to go and take a look at something for a project, and so was leaving it until May as my new QFF year starts 1st of May and I will make WP this coming Monday so didn't need the SC's before April 30.

Like every other man and his dog kid.

Looking for long haul international award seats out of Australia when school breaks for Christmas... Yeah nah good luck. The airlines don't need to load seats, they will sell them all for cash! Anything that was loaded was probably snapped up in Jan.

The business pax are mostly originating in Korea where they'd rather fly Asiana or Korean.
