Flying Business Class from New York to Seoul

Korean Air and Asiana nonstops, and the merger date

Korean Air and Asiana Airlines both sell New York JFK to Seoul Incheon (ICN) flights. In a notice posted on 14 September 2026, Asiana said that flights departing on or before 16 December 2026 are operated by Asiana, and that from 17 December 2026 its flights carry Korean Air flight numbers and are operated by Korean Air. Bookings move to Korean Air in stages during November and December 2026.

If you are booking across that date, a Business Class Deal advisor can explain which airline will operate your flight and which cabin you are paying for.

Booking a Delta ticket from New York to Seoul

Delta does not operate its own flight between JFK and Seoul. Delta's agency page lists JFK under Korean Air codeshare flights, which means a Delta ticket on this route is flown by Korean Air. Delta's own nonstops to Seoul leave from other US cities.

Seats and cabins: what we could confirm for New York to Seoul

Asiana describes its Business Smartium seat on its A380, A350 and 777 aircraft as a 77 inch fully flat seat with direct aisle access from every seat, with a Business Suite with sliding doors on the A380 only. That is an aircraft-level description: we could not confirm from Asiana which aircraft flies to JFK, and from 17 December 2026 Korean Air operates these flights.

Korean Air says it is refitting 11 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with Prestige business, a new Premium Economy cabin and Economy, with no First cabin on those aircraft, and it does not say which routes they fly. Korean Air's pages that we could check do not confirm which New York flights sell First, so an advisor confirms the cabins on your exact flight before you pay.

JFK Terminal 1 and Incheon Terminal 2

Korean Air and Asiana both check in at JFK Terminal 1. Asiana's airport page sends its JFK passengers to partner lounges in Terminal 1, without stating which cabin may use each one. In Seoul, both airlines use Incheon Terminal 2, which is also where Delta operates with Korean Air.

Business Class travel tips

Confirm the seat, not just the cabin

Business Class products differ widely by aircraft. Ask our advisors which seat type operates your specific flight before you commit.

Use the lounge on both ends

A Business Class ticket from New York normally includes lounge access before departure and, on many carriers, an arrivals lounge in Seoul. Ask which lounges apply to your booking.

Check the fare rules before you book

Premium fares vary in how changes and refunds are handled. Our advisors will walk you through the exact conditions of the fare you are considering.

Arrive with time to enjoy it

Priority check-in and security cut queue time, but arriving a little earlier lets you make use of the lounge rather than rushing to the gate.
