Korean Air rejigs SKYPASS programme: Korean Air is revamping its SKYPASS frequent flyer program. Starting in November 2020, Korean Air will introduce the option to use a combination of miles and cash/credit card to purchase flight tickets for a test-run period. In April 2021, the airline will implement a more rational and segmented system for mileage accrual and redemption based on airfares and distances flown. Additionally, a new SKYPASS elite membership system consisting of four levels — silver, gold, platinum and diamond — will be introduced in February 2022. Elite membership levels will be granted based on the number of miles accrued during the previous year, lowering membership entry barriers.
