What is the Korean Air SKYPASS award chart for 2026?

The Korean Air SKYPASS award chart shows how many miles are required for redemptions by cabin class and region. The current chart took effect May 2026. Korean Air SKYPASS miles are currently valued at approximately 1.60¢ each, with premium redemptions reaching up to 2.50¢.

How many miles do I need for a business class flight?

Business class awards on the Korean Air SKYPASS chart range from 6,000 to 145,000 miles one way, depending on the route and region. See the chart above for the specific cost for your origin and destination.

Does Korean Air SKYPASS have peak and off-peak award pricing?

Yes — Korean Air SKYPASS uses peak and off-peak pricing on select routes, meaning award costs can vary depending on travel dates. Off-peak redemptions offer better value, especially for popular routes during high-demand periods like holidays and summer travel.

What are the best sweet spots in the Korean Air SKYPASS award chart?

Sweet spots are routes where the miles cost is unusually low relative to the cash price. Look for routes that fall into a low pricing zone but have high cash fares — typically long-haul business or first class on routes with limited award availability. Check the Sweet Spots page for the top-value Korean Air SKYPASS redemptions identified by CardCurator's award chart analysis.

How much are Korean Air SKYPASS miles worth?

Korean Air SKYPASS miles are worth approximately 1.60¢ per miles on average, based on industry valuations. Premium redemptions — like business class flights at chart sweet spots — can yield 2.50¢ or more per miles.
