The merger between Korean Air and Asiana Airlines is still not finally accepted by the authorities, but Asiana has already announced what would happen in that case to the Asiana Club.

For a period of ten years, you can keep the miles you have accrued in the Asiana Club before the merger and use them from there. This can be an interesting option, as only flight miles are converted from the Asiana Club to Korean Air’s Skypass at a 1:1 ratio. Non-air partner miles, however, will only be exchanged at a 1:0.82 ratio. This was one of the key points raised by the competition authorities, and the airlines hope that by retaining the Asiana miles, they can allay these concerns.

However, if you are an Asiana Club member and plan to use your miles on Star Alliance partners, you shouldn’t wait too long!
