Roughly 7,140 miles separate Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and Seoul's Incheon International Airport (ICN), so a nonstop spends about 14h50 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 Delta. The Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 1% of the total.
Settle the cabin before the program: on an ultra-long-haul trip like Atlanta–Seoul, it moves the price most. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on either carrier costs more. The cheapest economy seat's $466 in taxes and fees is the catch, well above the route's typical economy taxes; more points and less cash can come out ahead. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 1.8 times economy; business costs about 2.6 times.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes economy at 33,000 points. Air Canada Aeroplan is cheapest in premium economy at 60,000 points and business class at 85,000. Watch the business-class routing: it lands at Dulles (IAD) and leaves from Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA), both in Washington. Air Canada Aeroplan's 102,500-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. The other 12 programs include Etihad Guest, Delta SkyMiles, and American AAdvantage.
Korean Air and Delta are both SkyTeam carriers with nonstop award space on Atlanta–Seoul, so the alliance's partner programs can book it as well as the airlines' own. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through Dallas/Fort Worth, Paris, and Chicago. In economy, the floor sits on Air France, booked through SkyTeam partner Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
The data shows no same-metro alternate airports on either end of Atlanta–Seoul, so date flexibility is the main lever. Two related routes to weigh at last check: Honolulu to Seoul at 25,500 points and Atlanta to Amsterdam at 9,500. For a shorter trip from Atlanta, Cancun and Cabo San Lucas are tracked too.
