Collecting Korean miles are pretty difficult to earn in Australia, but they have a pretty great rewards program if you can get the miles. If you wanted to get Korean miles, I would recommend transferring SPG miles. They have amazing availability on Australian flights, so it won’t be hard to get a seat.

I think I know what I want to review in September…
