The Asiana merger
Asiana leaves Star Alliance on 16 December and becomes part of Korean Air on 17 December. Asiana Club balances move into SKYPASS as a separate balance usable for 10 years, and can be converted into SKYPASS miles, one for one for miles earned by flying and at 0.82 for partner miles. Asiana elite members are matched to the equivalent SKYPASS tier. See our news page for details.
Who it suits
Korea-based travellers and anyone flying Korean Air regularly. The lifetime tiers make it rewarding for long-term loyalty.
