Asiana Club
Asiana Club is the loyalty program of Asiana Airlines, the ICN-based Star Alliance carrier - and it is on a clock. The Korean Air merger was finalized in December 2024, and Asiana Club is being absorbed into Korean Air SKYPASS on December 17, 2026. After full integration, Asiana Club ceases to exist as a standalone program. The fleet (around 80 aircraft including A350, A380, A330, B777, and B767 freighters) is being absorbed into Korean Air, and Star Alliance membership ends December 16, 2026, with Asiana joining SkyTeam the following day; earning on Star Alliance flights through Asiana Club stops after October 15, 2026, and Star award tickets departing on or after December 17 will not be honored.
For US travelers the playbook is narrow: burn Asiana Club miles before integration to lock in fixed-chart Star Alliance pricing, do not accumulate post-merger, and treat Marriott Bonvoy transfers (3:1, still listed as a Marriott partner as of May 2026) as a target-only move - never speculative. Mile conversion at integration is 1:1 for flight-earned miles and 1:0.82 for partner or credit-card-earned miles per the Korean FTC plan published September 2025, and the conversion election applies to the entire balance. Former Asiana miles can book KE Economy and Prestige only post-integration, not First Class. Status maps cleanly: Diamond Plus to Morning Calm Select, Diamond Plus Lifetime to Morning Calm Premium, Platinum Lifetime to Million Miler.

The cheat sheet.
Asiana Club uses a region-based Star Alliance partner chart and a separate Asiana own-metal chart. Both charts are published as round trip prices, and one way awards cost half. Sample one way pricing (Asiana own metal at low season; peak season costs 50% more):
| Route | Cabin | Miles |
|---|---|---|
| US-ICN Asiana | Business | 52,500 (62,500 in Business Smartium) |
| US-Europe Star partners | Business | 40,000 |
| Intra-Asia Star partners | Business | 22,500 to 37,500 |
| Korea domestic Asiana | Economy | 5,000 |
Asiana leaves Star Alliance December 16, 2026 (partner mileage earning ends October 15, 2026; partner award bookings close around December 1, 2026) - book and complete Star Alliance travel before then to use this chart.

Where this currency genuinely shines.
- Star Alliance partner business class booked on the Asiana fixed chart before integration - some routes price below Aeroplan or United.
- Asiana A350 ICN-US business at competitive saver pricing while the chart is still live.
- Intra-Asia partner short-haul at low mile prices.
- Bonvoy 3:1 to Asiana for a confirmed booking - 60K Bonvoy yields 25K Asiana Club + 5K bonus at the 60K tier. Use only when the award is in hand.
- Burn-before-integration is the entire 2026 playbook for this program.

Asiana operates Asiana Lounges at ICN (Incheon) and select outstations. Gold and above get Asiana Lounge access on same-day Asiana or Star Alliance flights. Star Alliance reciprocal lounge access continues for Asiana Gold members worldwide until approximately January 1, 2027 - after integration, expect the lounge program to transition to SkyTeam reciprocity under SKYPASS.

How to spend
The high-leverage moves. Read this before you transfer a single mile.
The smart-money plays.
- Star Alliance partner awards before October 2026 - lock in fixed-chart pricing while Asiana Club still exists.
- Asiana own-metal premium cabins ICN-US - the A350 business product is well-regarded.
- Intra-Asia Star partners at modest mile prices.
- Marriott Bonvoy 3:1 transfers only against confirmed bookings - do not speculate.
- Avoid post-merger accumulation - new earning post-integration goes into SKYPASS at the conversion ratio.

The fine print, decoded.
- Asiana Club is sunsetting December 17, 2026 - the program is being absorbed into Korean Air SKYPASS. This shapes every decision.
- Mile conversion at integration: 1:1 for flight-earned miles, 1:0.82 for partner or credit-card-earned miles per the Korean FTC plan published September 2025.
- Conversion must be elected in full - the entire balance moves at once.
- Former Asiana miles can book KE Economy and Prestige only post-integration - not First Class.
- Status mapping at integration: Diamond Plus to Morning Calm Select (a NEW SKYPASS tier), Diamond Plus Lifetime to Morning Calm Premium, Platinum Lifetime to Million Miler.
- Status validity periods are honored at integration.
- Mile expiration: 10 years from date of earning - one of the most generous expiry rules pre-merger.
- Star Alliance membership ends December 16, 2026 - earning miles on Asiana-operated flights via Star Alliance partner programs stops October 15, 2026, and the partner award-booking window closes around December 1, 2026 (travel by December 16). After that, reciprocity transitions to SkyTeam under Korean Air SKYPASS.
- Action items: earn on Asiana via Star Alliance partners before October 15, 2026 and book Star Alliance partner awards before the ~December 1, 2026 cutoff (travel by December 16, 2026); do not accumulate post-merger; use Marriott transfers only against confirmed bookings.
- No US flexible currency transfers - only Marriott Bonvoy bridges in.
- No US co-brand card.

Policy ChangeAsiana Leaves Star Alliance December 16: Book Its Star Alliance Awards Before Then
Asiana leaves Star Alliance on December 16, 2026, then merges into Korean Air (a SkyTeam member) the next day. The deadline that matters: December 1 is the last day to book Star Alliance partner awards on Asiana through programs like Aeroplan, United, and KrisFlyer. Your Asiana miles themselves are safe, with a 10-year window to move them to SKYPASS, so book any Star Alliance dream trip now and skip the panic-converting.
