However, you can
easily transfer miles to Korean Air from other loyalty programs like Chase Ultimate Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest, and some
awards are cheaper to
book through SKYPASS than through competing programs, even for
travel on the same airline.
I fear all the legacies will be going to a revenue - based system in the coming years and MileagePlus will one day add fuel surcharges to redemptions, but right now United's
award charts, Star Alliance partners, generous routing rules, lack of fuel surcharges, and ability to quickly and
easily book more
award travel online makes it a program much better than even AAdvantage in terms of
award redemption.
