so, spamlet. I actually got a response from Korean Air

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Sep 23 '16, 06:41

They said I can only have one stopover so...

ORD->HNL
<time>
HNL->JAX
<time>
JAX->ORD

is considered to be two stopovers. Interesting. So it looks like I will need to do a "jog" at one point. We already talked about maybe going in/out of Orlando as it's only 2 hours. That might be the best option. They suggested I call their 1-800 of course. Going to see if they can confirm the jog option before I go that far.

I was afraid of that because that routing makes zero sense otherwise. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 06:52 3
- It should be fine. the "open jaw" in Orlando isn't a big deal at all. Probably easier for us than doing the jaw in Hawaii (like the blog post did) - oblique Sep 23, 06:57 2
  - Oh, so doing something like landing in Orlando and flying out of Tampa? -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 06:59 1
    - JAX/Orlando, but yeah. If we go from HNL->JAX and then fly Orlando->ORD, I think that satisfies the open jaw portion - oblique Sep 23, 07:04
I must have missed the original on this and I am now very confused - ty97 Sep 23, 06:43 22
- It's one of those partner redemptions that's super cheap and transferable from UR. -- (link*) - spamlet Sep 23, 06:54 6
  - huh. I have Sapphire points but have been saving them up to transfer to UA and maybe use in Singapore F class -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 06:55 5
    - The Sapphire Reserve made the cover of BusinessWeek this week. Chase has a pretty incredible marketing department. - spamlet Sep 23, 06:58 4
      - I figured the IM was coming. Need to figure out how many points I have to transfer - ty97 Sep 23, 07:00 3
        
        I just wish they did it a few weeks ago. I'm staying farther out from the office to be at a Marriott rather than Le Meridian. - spamlet Sep 23, 07:01 2
        
        Whoa, I have 31K Starwood? Wow -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 07:02 1
        
        I need to discuss with wife about getting the AMEX before it goes away. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 07:17
- This is part of my master plan to go to Hawaii with the family on points - oblique Sep 23, 06:45 6
  - Can you do ORD --> HNL (time) HNL --> JAX and then just buy JAX-ORD? - ty97 Sep 23, 06:49 5
    - Yes. We have a variety of options if we have to but the KA redemption is super flexible so I think we can make it all work -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 06:56 4
      - (pulls a Dawson). KA is DragonAir. Korean is KE. - ty97 Sep 23, 06:58 3
        
        this whole process is quite mind-boggling to me -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 06:59 2
        
        I actually suck at all this award stuff because I so rarely use my miles - ty97 Sep 23, 07:09 1
        
        heh, there is a scene in Corner Gas where a character says "we can use my points card as I collect points" - Beaker Sep 23, 07:14
