Roughly 6,810 miles separate Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Seoul's Incheon International Airport (ICN), so a nonstop spends about 14h10 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: Korean Air. The Boeing 777-300ER appears on those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
On an ultra-long-haul trip like Boston–Seoul, pick the cabin before the program. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on Korean Air costs more. The cheapest economy seat's $298 in taxes and fees is the catch, well above the route's typical economy taxes; more points and less cash can come out ahead. Moving up to business costs about 4 times the economy points. Flexible bank points can reach Virgin Atlantic Flying Club; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is cheapest in economy at 13,500 points. American AAdvantage wins business class at 60,000 points. First class starts at 185,000 points through Alaska Atmos Rewards on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. The other 12 programs include United MileagePlus, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Air Canada Aeroplan.
Korean Air alone shows nonstop award space on Boston–Seoul in the data. It's a SkyTeam carrier, so partner programs across the alliance can price it, not just Korean Air's own program. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through London, Newark, and Paris. In business class, the floor sits on Alaska Airlines, booked through oneworld partner American AAdvantage.
Neither Boston nor Seoul shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the main airports are the ones to watch. Of the Seoul routes on FlightFlyer, Boston prices lowest at last check, while Honolulu to Seoul starts from 25,500 points. If the destination is open, Boston to Amsterdam prices from 10,000 points.
