First Class Awards - Impossible?
I transferred 120k points from Chase way back in the day. Still haven't used them but I was curious so played around with different options today.
I don't see any F awards available. Checked both LAX and SFO, nothing, looked in the next few weeks, in the middle, at the very end, and nothing. So are F awards just not possible?

Pretty much impossible since the government blocked last year the « enhancement » of Skypass, which would have brought F awards from 80K to 120K in low season.
KE now prefers upgrading to F high paying J pax than give awards for most cases. Maybe high status pax stand a chance.

Been Morning Calm for 7+ years. I didn't even know that was a thing! I waitlist like crazy when I'm looking for something (usually SFO-ICN-SFO), they usually end up being available but with short notice.
