At about 1,290 miles from Seoul's Incheon International Airport (ICN) to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), a nonstop runs roughly 3h05, give or take with the winds. Two airlines carry nonstop award space in the data, including Cathay Pacific. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Boeing 737-900, Airbus A320, and Airbus A321neo. Nonstops account for about 29% of the award options in the data.
Points have to beat the cash fare to earn their keep on Seoul–Hong Kong. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Korean Air nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Expect about $36 in taxes and fees on top, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Run the miles-or-cash math each time: a cheap fare usually beats spending points. The exception is nonstop business class: at about double economy, it's the cabin where an award is most worth checking against the cash fare.
Alaska Atmos Rewards wins economy at 7,500 points and business class at 15,000, both on Korean Air nonstops. Of the other seven, Air Canada Aeroplan, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Avianca LifeMiles are worth a look too. A transfer bonus to another program can still undercut Alaska Atmos Rewards, so recheck before moving points.
Nonstop award space on Seoul–Hong Kong includes Cathay Pacific, among other carriers in the data. Connecting awards can mix carriers, so confirm who operates each leg before moving points.
