I am going on a family trip to Korea and Japan, and my mom has 552000 korean air skypass miles. The round trip from Chicago to Seoul is nearly 1,000 dollars more expensive than the round trip flight from Chicago to Tokyo. Because of that, I think it makes more sense to do Chicago to Tokyo, but what should we do about the korean airlines points? Can I book the direct chicago to tokyo flight on JAL or a different airline through the korean air skypass site using korea air’s miles?
