Save Up to 67% — Whether or Not You Have Any Miles

Opportunity #1: Purchase LifeMiles from Avianca, a partner with Asiana. The strategy can net you up to 67% off, based on the last LifeMiles deal, which offered up to a 125% bonus. That brings a New York-Seoul First Class ticket down to $2,772 round-trip (180,000 miles, plus award taxes at around $75), for a seat that otherwise goes for $8,599.

Opportunity #2: Purchase Amex Rewards Points that are transferable to All Nippon, for redemption on its partner, Asiana. The strategy can net you up to 45% off, given the cost of Amex Membership Rewards points, at 2.5¢ each (purchase limit 500,000 per year). That brings a New York-Seoul First Class ticket down to $4,500 round-trip (180,000 miles, plus award taxes at around $250 for a seat that otherwise goes for $8,599).
