Roughly 2,280 miles separate Seoul's Incheon International Airport (ICN) and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), so a nonstop spends about 5h05 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. The nonstop award space in the data is split between Korean Air and Thai Airways. The Airbus A330-300 and Airbus A350-900 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: only about 6% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
Points have to beat the cash fare to earn their keep on Seoul–Bangkok. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Korean Air nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Its listed taxes, about $19, look incomplete for an international departure, so confirm the cash cost at checkout. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. 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.
Air France-KLM Flying Blue is cheapest in economy at 13,500 points on a Korean Air nonstop. Avianca LifeMiles wins business class at 27,120 points on a Thai Airways nonstop. Among the remaining nine programs, Alaska Atmos Rewards, Air Canada Aeroplan, and GOL Smiles are good places to cross-check. The winner changes at business class, so match the program to the cabin before moving points.
Two airlines show nonstop award space on Seoul–Bangkok: Korean Air (SkyTeam) and Thai Airways (Star Alliance). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through Hong Kong and Taipei. The lowest business-class award here is a Star Alliance partner booking: the Thai Airways nonstop through Avianca LifeMiles.
Seoul and Bangkok each show a single airport in the data for this route, so the calendar is where the savings are. For a longer redemption from Seoul, Bali (Denpasar) and Hong Kong are tracked too. When saver space is gone, moving the trip by a few days usually does more than switching airports.
