If Korean Air and Asiana Airlines succeed in the merger, many people are curious about what will happen to my mileage, right?

As of the end of June, the mileage of the two companies is more than 3.5 trillion won.

In the industry, the conversion amount per mileage is 15 won for Korean Air and 11 won to 12 won for Asiana Airlines.

Korean Air has made an official statement that nothing has been decided yet.

Recently, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines have been contacting customers who are scheduled to lose their mileage or expanding their usage.

Since mileage is classified as a debt, it is interpreted that it is aimed at reducing the burden during the merger process.

However, there were many complaints from customers that the number of affiliates that can use Asiana Airlines mileage has recently decreased and there are few items that can be bought at mileage online shopping malls, making it easy to sell out.

There are constant criticisms about the lack of air seats that can be bought with mileage.

As of last September, the percentage of airline seats purchased by passengers with Korean Air mileage decreased from a year ago.

Mileage used in marts and shopping malls has also decreased compared to last year.

As early as this month, the European Commission is expected to give final approval to the merger of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines.
