Korean Air Fare Classes: SKYPASS Mileage Accrual
Type the booking class letter from your Korean Air ticket to see its cabin and fare, and the share of the flight distance it earns in SKYPASS miles, as published by Korean Air.
Korean Air fare classes
Korean Air flights earn the flight distance times the mileage accrual percentage of the booking class. This is Korean Air's current international fare table, in the order Korean Air publishes it. Korean Air lists L, U, Q and T under both Saver and Standard, and V and W under both Premium fares, so those letters appear twice.

Korean Air's own wording: Economy Saver L, U, Q, T and Economy Standard S, H, E, K, L, U, Q, T earn "100% (Q, T: 70%)"; Premium Standard and Premium Flex V, W earn "V: 110% W: 100%". This is the current international fare table; tickets issued under the prior international fare table earn on that one.
Calculate what this flight earnsHow miles are earned
A Korean Air flight earns its distance in miles times the class percentage. A 5,000-mile flight earns:
| Classes | Mileage accrual | Miles on a 5,000-mile flight |
|---|---|---|
| Q, T | 70% | 3,500 |
| L, U, S, H, E, K, Y, B, M, W | 100% | 5,000 |
| V | 110% | 5,500 |
| D, I, R, C | 125% | 6,250 |
| J | 135% | 6,750 |
| F | 200% | 10,000 |
- Distance: Korean Air uses its own flight mileage. Our calculator uses the great-circle distance, which can differ by a few miles.
- Flights within Korea are not covered: this page and the calculator cover Korean Air's international fare table only. Each flight within Korea still counts as 1 flight point.
- Each flight earns on its own. A connection is two flights, and a round trip earns both ways.
Prior international fare table
Korean Air still publishes its prior international fare table, which applies to older tickets issued under it. It has no Premium cabin.
| Cabin / fare | Booking classes | Mileage accrual |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Saver | T | 0–70% |
| Economy Standard | S, H, E, K, L, U, Q | 100% (Q: 70%) |
| Economy Flex | Y, B, M | 100% |
| Prestige | D, I, R | 125% |
| Prestige | C | 125% |
| Prestige | J | 135% |
| First | F | 200% |
SKYPASS tiers
The SKYPASS tiers are SKYPASS Club, Morning Calm Club, Morning Calm Select Club, Morning Calm Premium Club and Million Miler Club. Flight points count Korean Air flights: 1 point per flight within Korea, 2 points per international flight.
| Tier | Qualify (any one) | Keep it |
|---|---|---|
| Morning Calm | 50,000 miles (if 30,000 or more are from boarding Korean Air flights, the rest can be earned with partners), or 80 flight points | Over the two-year membership period: 30,000 miles (20,000 or more from Korean Air flights), or 30,000 miles and 30 flight points, or 40 flight points |
| Morning Calm Select | During the Morning Calm qualification period: 100,000 miles flown on Korean Air (SkyTeam airlines included), or 140 flight points; the upgrade is immediate, for a two-year qualification period | Over two years: 100,000 miles on Korean Air (SkyTeam airlines included), or 140 flight points |
| Morning Calm Premium | 500,000 miles on Korean Air (SkyTeam airlines included) | Valid for life |
| Million Miler | 1,000,000 miles on Korean Air (SkyTeam airlines included) | Valid for life |
- What counts: only tickets with a Korean Air flight number in a mileage-eligible booking class, once flown. For Morning Calm Select, Morning Calm Premium and Million Miler, miles from non-SkyTeam partners, credit cards and promotions do not count.
- Redeeming miles or miles expiring does not affect your tier.
Asiana Airlines integration (December 17, 2026)
Asiana Airlines announced that the integrated mileage program "will officially take effect on December 17, 2026, upon integration." Until the day before, Asiana Club and SKYPASS run separately; from that date the integrated SKYPASS terms apply.
- Asiana miles: existing Asiana Club mileage is kept as "former Asiana Mileage" for 10 years from the integration date, usable until its original validity date. Miles earned after integration are credited as SKYPASS miles.
- Converting: the whole balance only, at any time in the 10 years, and automatically at the end. Miles earned on flights convert 1:1; miles earned with partners 1:0.82.
- Tiers: Asiana Platinum (lifetime) matches Million Miler; Diamond Plus (lifetime) matches Morning Calm Premium; Diamond Plus and Diamond (24 months) match the new Morning Calm Select (24 months); Gold (24 months) matches Morning Calm (24 months). Members holding both get the higher tier.
- Re-evaluation: Asiana members are re-evaluated on Korean Air's tier criteria, combining miles from flights operated by Asiana Airlines with their Korean Air qualifying miles, and get the higher of the new and the current tier.
- Star Alliance: Asiana has announced the end of its Star Alliance mileage partnership and elite benefits.
Asiana Airlines described the conversion rates and tier matching as subject to change. Korean Air's own integration site is oneskypass.koreanair.com.
